Surfer Jeff (video)

Surfer Jeff is the thirty-ninth Wiggles DVD released in Australia on 21st June 2012, and marked the first appearance of Greg since his departure. Surfer Jeff sees The Wiggles travel around the world and it is their most exotic adventure yet. Jeff meets Gino the Genie, who grants him three wishes, so Jeff decides to visit exotic places. Like "Getting Strong", the Surfer Jeff DVD was originally made with Sam Moran but because Greg returned they decided to remake the DVD and CD.
