Well look what the tide brought in: a glistening-bodied, towheaded Johnny Depp.

Doing his best to give Spicoli a run for his surfer-dude money, the erstwhile Pirate has returned to the water, though this time in animated form, to teach SpongeBob SquarePants the finer points of hanging 10 (and, apparently, to prove that surfboard size matters).

While the gnarly fruits of his voice-recording labor can be seen and heard in their entirety on the April 17 episode of the Posh Spice-loving Nickelodeon fave, those without cable—or the face-saving excuse of a toddler in their home—can enjoy a sneak peek of the 10th anniversary episode right now.

Be he Captain Jack or Jack Kahuna Laguna, the surf is most definitely up.
