Rocket Power is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo, the creators of Rugrats. The series ran on Nickelodeon for four seasons from 1999 to 2004, with reruns until 2007. The show mainly revolves around four friends and their daily lives of playing extreme sports, surfing, and getting into various situations.

Rocket Power involves the daily situations of a group of friends — vain athlete Otto Rocket (Joseph Ashton), defensive and responsible Regina "Reggie" Rocket (Shayna Fox), nerdy goalie Sam "Squid" Dullard (Gary LeRoi Gray in seasons 1–3; Sean Marquette in Season 4), and slow-witted videographer daredevil Maurice "Twister" Rodriguez (Ulysses Cuadra in seasons 1–3; Gilbert Leal in season 4) — as they spend their free time playing extreme sports, such as surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and more. The series is set in the fictional town of Ocean Shores, California.

Otto and Reggie live with their strict-but-loved dad, Raymond "Raymundo" Rocket (John Kassir), who along with his business partner, retired surfer and self-styled philosopher Tito Makani (Ray Bumatai), runs a snack bar called Shore Shack, where the kids usually hang out. In most episodes, they get involved in competitions, but end up learning that their friendship is more important than winning.

A VHS tape entitled Maxing Out was released containing five episodes ("Bruised Man's Curve", "Super McVarial 900", "Big Thursday", "The Big Air Dare", and "Otto's Big Break"). In 2004, Nickelodeon released four episodes of the series ("Island of the Menehune", "Tito's Lucky Shell", "Welcome to Ottoworld", "Follow the Leader") on the Island of the Menehune DVD. Other episodes were featured on Nickelodeon compilation DVDs such as Nicktoons Christmas, Nicktoons Halloween, and Nickstravaganza 2.
