She dropped her board on the beach and gazed out at the surf. The surf was not exactly small but she was confident she could catch a wave or two without being dumped. The beach was quiet today with only a handful of surfers sitting out on the break and only a few people on the beach. The weather was sunny and there was a slight breeze coming in from the South. The waves were foamy and messy. Not great surfing conditions but she was happy to be on the beach with the wind blowing through her hair. She looked out to where the surfers were waiting for the next set. There were five people out there and probably all guys from what she could tell.
She pulled her wetsuit up over her shoulders, zipped up her back and headed down into the shallows. The water was cold but nice and she quickly threw the board out and started paddling. It wasn't long before she was out with the other surfers. They glanced at her but paid little attention as they focused on the incoming sets. She hung off to the side making sure she didn't get in any ones way.
She managed to catch a few waves but the conditions weren't great and she was happy to bob up and down and watch the more experienced guys catching the bigger waves. After a while one of the surfers paddled closer to her.
"You'd be much better off with a shorter board today," he said.
"This is my only board I'm afraid," she replied smiling.
The surfer looked to be in his mid 20's. He had a friendly face with scruffy hair and an unshaven face.
"You'd be better off coming back tomorrow. The wind will be coming in from the South West. Cleaner waves for a long board."
"Sounds like you want these waves for yourself," she replied smiling.
"Not at all," he replied. "Good to see a woman in the surf."
He paddled away with a grin on his face. She watched him paddling away slightly annoyed with his comment.
She had seen him before at the beach but had never spoken to him. He was a nice looking guy. She felt a little guilty about checking out a younger guy as she was already 30 but who was to know. She caught a few more waves and felt refreshed and content with her morning and paddled into the beach.
She stripped off her wetsuit in a clumsy kind of way and stood looking out into the water. She was wearing a blue bikini that complemented her curves perfectly. The sun seemed to have grown in intensity and she relished the warmth on her cool skin. She noticed the surfer had also headed in and he was walking up the beach towards her. She felt like she should cover up somehow and felt butterflies in her stomach. She laughed at herself for feeling like a schoolgirl checking out a cute guy.
He had taken off his wetsuit to his waist and the empty arms flopped around his legs as he walked. His torso was tanned and strong with a solid chest and a rippled stomach. His skin was smooth and hairless. "I wonder if he waxes," she thought to herself.
"Do you want a short board?" he asked
"What?" she replied
"I've got a board that would suit you that you can have"
"Why would you give a board to a stranger?" she asked.
"It's good to see beginners in the surf enjoying the waves. Think of it as a gift of encouragement. I can lend it to you if you'd be more comfortable with that."
"That's very kind of you," she said suspiciously.
She caught his eyes flick down to her breasts for an instant. "Oh, that's what this is about," she thought to herself.
This made her feel slightly powerful to know this cute guy was checking her out. She wasn't normally one to flirt but was feeling free and curious as to where the conversation was going. She bent down to pick up her towel allowing the surfer a longer, more revealing look at her breasts. She straightened up smiling at him. He seemed a little lost as to what to say next.
"Listen, if it's not too strange, I can get it for you now," he said.
"I live close by, you could follow me there in your car and take it home with you"
"My names Jay by the way. Should have said that earlier," he said smiling.
"Allie," she replied reaching out to shake his hand.
He held her hand strongly and probably longer than necessary. She felt a little tingle of excitement go through her as he released her hand.
"I don't think I really know you well enough to borrow a board off you. I feel a little awkward about it."
"I'm a nice guy with pure intentions. Honest," he said with a warm smile.
Allie doubted he had pure intentions but was enjoying his attention. She hadn't had a guy try to seduce her in a long time, especially in the middle of the day on a beach. "Maybe this is just about lending a board," she thought to herself. She decided to see where the adventure took her. She felt confident that she wouldn't be in any danger if she followed this guy.
"Alright, lets go then," Allie replied trying to sound impatient.
They chatted causally as they headed up to the car park. Jay dumped his board in the back of an old blue ute. He didn't have any other gear. She watched as he peeled off his suit and stood in his undies reaching around in the back trying to find his shorts. Allie turned away blushing. Jay had a dark tan all over but she could see a glimpse of white around the top of his undies. There was a small tattoo on his back near his left shoulder. She couldn't make out what it was of. He turned back to face her with his shorts in his hand.
"Are you alright to follow me?" he said.
It was now her turn to have a quick glimpse. He had strong thighs and an almost hairless body. There was a small amount of hair under his navel leading down to his pants. There was a small bulge in his pants that he was obviously happy to display.
"Get your shorts on and lets go," she replied.
Allie threw her gear into the back of her car and strapped on her board. She put on a skirt and climbed into the car. As she followed his car out of the car park her head raced with thoughts. Is he really just a friendly guy? Do I want to put myself in an awkward position when I have to tell this guy I'm not interested? What if he tries to kiss me and I don't stop him?
They drove a couple of kilometres from the beach and then headed up a quiet side road. After a short while he was indicating and turning into a driveway. The driveway headed up between peppermint trees and they reached a clearing with a small timber house. It was a cute place clad in dark timber with a tin roof that was showing its age. There was a big timber shed towards the back of the block full of what seemed like junk mainly. Another car was parked under some trees near the shed. She slowed and suddenly thought she should probably just leave. He jumped out of the car and waved her up to park next to his car. She continued up and parked next to him.
"Let me just wash the salt off and I'll show you the board," he said.
