Filmed in the cottage community of Winnipeg Beach, this 13-part, one-hour series centres on a group of young people summering in the fictional lakeside resort town of Falcon Beach.

It's about summer. It's about freedom. It's about young adults trying to define themselves for their lives ahead. But it's also about two worlds colliding -- that of the summer cottagers and that of the townies who live and work in Falcon Beach year-round.

The show, which returns to Global in fall 2005 after a successful two-hour pilot episode, is a co-production of Toronto-based Insight Productions and Manitoba-based Original Pictures.

Falcon Beach airs Tuesdays at 10pm on Global in Canada and Mondays at 9pm on abc Family.

SHOW TIDBITS

Featured Wakeboard Boat / Life Jacket:
You may recognize the featured wakeboarding boat on Falcon Beach. Jason trains and competes behind a Tigé 24V boat. Tigé loans the boat to the production company. Another recognizable name in wakeboarding is Jet Pilot which is the brand of life jacket the wakeboarders wear.

Life Jacket Controversy:
If you saw the pilot episodes the wakeboarders were not wearing life jackets. As a result, the show received quite an uproar because of the safety neglect and tapings since then have included boarders wearing PFDs. Good job Falcon Beach for promoting safety on the water!

Other Facts:
- The show is actually filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

- Falcon Beach is the first television show to have a wakeboarder as its main character.

- The main character played by Steve Byers polished his wakeboarding skills by working with top names in the professional wakeboarding industry.

- Due to insurace reasons, Steve uses a stunt double to perform most of his wakeboarding tricks.
