Riptide was the first major TV Series for Joe. It was about two Vietnam Veterans & an Army Buddy (Nick Ryder, Cody Allen & Murray Bozinsky) now working as private eyes in sunny Southern California.
Nick & Cody are the muscle & Murray is a computer wizard of the trio & together they solved even the hardest cases.
The Threesome lived & worked off Cody's boat, the Riptide, docked at Pier 56, Slip 7, King Harbor, Southern California. The Riptide Detective Agency had four big advantages over the bad guys, Cody's speed boat, The Ebbtide, Nick's pink Sikorsky helicopter, The Screamin' Mimi & Murray's faithful robot, The Roboz, as well as the most important ingredient...friendship & teamwork.
The show was filmed on location at Cabrillo Beach, San Pedro, LA, Redondo Beach, CA & Santa Clarita CA.
