Sunday morning was slightly cloudy but promised a perfect day later on. We loaded up Monica's Mustang and eagerly headed for the beach.
There had been long and vigorous debate, this morning, about what we all intended to wear once we arrived. Monica took her regular bikini along with a loose fitting towelling robe to wear on the way. I asked her to try my thong for a change. She thought seriously about it but then swiftly chickened out after she had tried it on in our bedroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Perhaps one day." She whispered, as she looked in the mirror wistfully. "It just isn't me at the moment."
"That's a shame. It looks so good on you, darling." I mused idly. "Think about it though?" I urged.
"It really did look great." Olivia stated simply.
It was a foregone conclusion that I would either be wearing only a smile or my shortest, most revealing dress. There was really no mediocre choice as far as I was concerned. If by some chance there was good reason for me to remain clothed, I would keep my dress on until I went for a swim. Being naked at the beach was most of the fun from my own point of view. Monica took my thong with her anyway, just in case I had a change of heart, she said. I still preferred to believe that it might be her that would change her mind.
Olivia decided to wear the same brief bikini that she had worn during the contest that she won. Given time, I confidently predicted that she would soon realise the same tingling exhilaration that I did by exhibiting her sexuality with neither clothing nor shame. She had asked my advice but I refused to bully her, as Michelle had done, by choosing her garments for her. I sensed that deep down she quite enjoyed accepting the challenge on her own terms. The fact that the fabric became transparent when wet was the main reason for her choice ultimately. She reasoned that if she wasn't feeling confident enough to go nude right away, it covered enough of her body to maintain her own sense of decency. She had come a long way, from that nervously apprehensive young lady that was loath to display herself when we went horse riding. She had now placed herself in a position with no choice but to overcome her lessening inhibitions.
There were a lot less people at the beach than Monica had expected but I noted that most of the cars were ones that I had seen at Peninsula beach on the previous two other occasions. Monica pointed toward our favourite spot. Discretely separated from the largest portion of the more populated part of the beach, chosen by Monica originally as the most secluded spot, it seemed that our friends had made it their own base of operations these days.
"It looks like our friends' have made it here anyway." She observed as she surveyed the scene before us. Their multicoloured sun shelter was billowing in the onshore breeze, welcoming our arrival like a familiar friend. Surfboards littered the surrounding area and I could see most of the younger beachgoers were heavily concentrated in the nearest area of surfing activity. Knowing that Monica normally preferred me not to undress at the car, before making my way to the surf, I was pleasantly surprised when she told Olivia and I to go ahead while she locked up the car.
"I've just got something to get out of the trunk before I join you. Be with you shortly." She said uncertainly. "I guess you will be wanting to leave your dress in the car?" She added nonchalantly.
I could hardly believe the radical change from her normal protective conservatism. She letting Olivia out from the back seat.
"You don't mind?" I gasped as I looked around the parking area.
"No darling, you just go ahead if you like."
Monica looked away and addressed Olivia.
"You go on ahead too sweetheart." She urged.
I needed no further prompting. With a flourish, I slipped out of my dress and placed it on the seat. The sun was out and I felt the warm rays give nourishment to my entire body much earlier than I had expected as I got out of the car and waited in the sun for Olivia. There weren't many other people in the near area but those that were, looked at me in total amazement before going back about their own preparations. It was the same as in any other public area. People would always have a good look and then return to what they were doing beforehand. I had always preferred total nudity to discrete flashing. It was far more honest and self satisfying from my own point of view.
"Well I'm ready, how about you, Olivia my love?"
Olivia looked at me and lowered her eyes.
"Do you mind if I just leave my bikini on for now, Katrina?" She asked in a timid manner. I was amazed. I sensed that she would have stripped off too if I had insisted, even though she was still a bit embarrassed by the thought.
"Whatever makes you guys comfortable. Just be yourselves for God's sake. What's going on here?" I laughed and spread out my arms.
"It's supposed to be a day off work. You don't have to be naked if you don't really want to. Come on Olivia, lets go down and meet the others."
If anything, Olivia looked more embarrassed than I was when we first made our way down the beach. She kept up with my faster pace as we walked past several onlookers along the way. Of course, some whistled their appreciation as we went by but as luck would have it there wasn't any obscene or unwelcome comment. By the time we reached sight of the small group at the shelter a lot of her earlier nervousness had subsided and Olivia was smiling broadly again.
She nudged my arm.
"Look! Some of them are even dressed like you." She whispered as we approached.
At our end of the beach, most of the women were topless and some were sunning themselves, wearing the bare minimum in bikini bottoms only.
Annie was sitting with her board by her side, and waved out to us as we approached. She, Wayne and Karen were already completely naked as well, this time, and I introduced Olivia to them first and then the three others that already knew from before.
"Where's Jim today, Annie?" I looked out toward the water.
"You must have had quite an effect on him the other night, my love. It's the second time today that he's been out surfing without his togs. I think he's starting to enjoy it too." Annie was smiling. "I think that he wants to impress you." She confided with a knowing nudge. "Look! There he is now." Pointing toward Jim.
Riding a perfect wave, Jim was making skilled use of the manoeuvring room that was available to him, synchronising his ride with two other people that had caught the same wave. He was showing off his skills but I was more interested in the fact that he appeared to have lost his earlier inhibitions about being seen without his board shorts. In the ten days since we were here last it appeared that most of Jim's group had reconciled to the unique thrill of naked surfing. Although Peninsula beach wasn't one of the few dedicated nudist beaches in the area, it seemed that the remoteness from the more populated beaches had recently lent itself to a more relaxed approach to public nudity.
I hadn't been exactly surprised by the fact that Wayne, Karen and Annie had taken the initiative to strip before we arrived but I hardly expected that Jim would have joined in as well. Most of the other groups in the immediate area seemed similarly relaxed in their dress code and there was far less attention to our group than on the last, most recent occasion.
Encouraged by the fact that most of the girls in the immediate area were at least topless, Olivia removed her skimpy togs at this point and sat next to Annie. She looked a lot more relaxed by the fact that she was in company with such an uninhibited and friendly group.
"Jim brought extra boards if you guys want to join him."
I was pleased to note that the board that Annie was offering me was the same one that I had used before.
"I'll wait for Monica if you like, Katrina?"
Olivia was pointing toward a lone figure making her way from the parking area, dressed in a beach robe, still some distance away.
"Tell her I won't be long then." I confirmed.
Thanking Annie, I grabbed the board and raced toward Jim before he went back out again. Jim saw me approaching and waited for me to join up with him.
Bobbing around beyond the breakers, I had my first opportunity to talk to Jim alone. We paddled away from the other surfers and Jim told me that he had discussed my proposition with Annie and decided that he would be prepared help if we still wanted him to.
"I haven't told anyone else though so,--"
"Your secret's safe with us, darling." I interrupted quickly. "I'm so glad." I leaned over and kissed him. "I was really hoping you would join us in our first real movie."
Jim looked relieved and yet quizzical at the same time.
"You'll have to tell me more about this though." He smiled. "When do you want to make a start?"
"I was thinking about Monday or Tuesday night if that suits you? Arnold should be ready by then."
"You film at night, do you?" Jim enquired, mildly interested by the fact that he didn't need to leave his job right away, I guess.
I ran though a few of the practicalities of Adult filmmaking and discussed the finer details of how important it was there were no outside noises to interfere with the sound quality of the film. I soothed his fears about making a fool of himself and convinced him that Olivia was keen to appear with him too. He seemed more excited as I went on and was a lot more at ease with his decision to embark on a career change.
"Did you bring Olivia along today?"
He sounded dubious that a girl would be so willing to appear in that sort of movie with him, sight unseen as it were.
"She's on the beach with Monica now, Jim. Let's go in and I'll introduce you if you like?" I hesitated. "Look! She's as new to this as you are, darling. As we all are for that matter. She trusts my judgement and she'll be happy to meet you, I'm sure."
