Where are they now? The original cast of Blue Water High, 15 years later.

Ah, remember the rolling waves and awkward teenage encounters of Blue Water Beach?

To jog your memory, it was the set of Blue Water High, the noughties teen TV show on the ABC from 2005 to 2007.

The show ran for three glorious seasons, each year following a group of high school students selected to participate in a year-long surf program at the Solar Blue surf academy.

If you were born anywhere between 1985 and 1995 (give or take a few years), there’s a good chance you spent many an afternoon plonked in front of the TV watching Blue Water High after school.

You might’ve even had a poster of one of the cast members blu-tacked to your bedroom wall, despite your mum’s warning about ruining the paint.

Here’s what the original cast are up to now:

Sophie Luck AKA Fiona “Fly” Watson

Sophie was one of the longest-serving Blue Water High cast members, appearing in all three seasons of the show.

After Blue Water High, the actress moved the LA and featured in a 2014 TV series Pandorian.

In recent years, the 30-year-old's IMDb has been pretty quiet.

Instead, she's been working as a personal trainer.

Tahyna "Tozzi" MacManus AKA Perri Lowe

Tahyna's character Perri was arguably the person every teen girl wanted to be and every teen guy wanted to be with.

After Blue Water High, the 34-year-old featured in episodes of CSI and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and worked as a model alongside sister Cheyenne Tozzi.

She currently runs her own production company Neon Jane Productions, and is set to release her documentary Misunderstandings of Miscarriage: MuM on Stan on October 1.

She is a mum to two kids - Echo and Oisín - and opens up about her own miscarriage in the doco.

Kate Bell AKA Bec Sanderson

Then in 2011, the now 36-year-old quit acting and got a degree in Communications.

Since Blue Water High, Mara most notably worked in the vicinity of Brad Pitt and George Clooney as a production assistant on The Monuments Men.

She doesn't have much a social media profile, but from her Facebook, it would appear she is still working as an actress.

Adam Saunders AKA Heath Carroll

Now:

Adam was the heartthrob of Blue Water High, and went on to play a similar role on Dance Academy in 2010.

The 33-year-old currently works as a model, director and photographer. 

In 2016, Adam spoke to Vice about his Blue Water High days. 

"Every now and then there will be an article on Facebook about shows from the early 2000s, which always feels strange because it's not like it affects me day to day," he told the publication. 

"I started with Blue Water High when I'd just turned 18. I'd finished school and that was my first big acting role. I was still getting to know myself." 

After the show, the former teen star pursued a career in music with his former band. 

"I remember saving up money from doing Blue Water High and buying a home recording studio."

Unfortunately, the band never ended up going anywhere. 

"The band didn't work, but if it wasn't for all that time in the band, I wouldn't have learned what I'm actually good at. Like everyone, I have ups and downs," he told the publication.

Adam has since launched a production company called Killa Kreative.

They grow up so fast, don't they?
