Three teenage boys stand on a yellow surfboard, riding a tidal wave. They wear yellow-and-orange bandannas, are armed with sword-like weapons, and are smiling. Beneath their surfboard is an old, armored man with a shocked look on his face, reaching up with his right hand for help. Beside the surfboard are the words "Surf Ninjas", followed by a dragon emblem.
