Maddie & Triggs

The pair are at the beach constructing sandcastles when a seashell suddenly begins to move on the sand. They quickly discover that the moving object isn’t a shell at all, but the most extravagant crab ever seen strolling sideways across the shoreline.

Waves is an episode of a programme titled Waves. It is presented as a self‑contained instalment rather than a series, and its genre is listed simply as “episode”. The format follows the usual structure of a short visual piece, focusing on a brief but distinct scenario. In this instalment two characters spend a day at the coast, busy constructing sandcastles on the beach. Their activity is leisurely, with the pair shaping towers and moats while the tide laps nearby, creating a classic seaside tableau. While they are working, one of the shells they’ve gathered begins to shift on its own. The movement catches their attention, prompting them to examine it more closely. Their curiosity quickly turns to surprise as they discover that the object isn’t a shell at all. The object, they realise, is a crab – and not just any crab, but the most flamboyant specimen they’ve ever seen, strutting sideways with an air of unmatched elegance. Its appearance adds an unexpected twist to the otherwise ordinary beach outing, highlighting the quirky charm of the scene.
