Surfing at Shannon’s Beach Ch. 01

Surfer makes a sexy discovery. "Special thanks to Angel Love for her help in editing this story. Let me know if you enjoy the story. Thanks." * Liam paddled along in his kayak, skimming across the early morning swells as he headed south along the beach. He was bobbing along about one hundred and fifty yards off the shoreline, just outside of where the waves started to peak and break along the shore. The last layers of morning mist were burning off, as the sun crept higher and higher in the eastern sky. Liam's kayak was two man rig that gave him plenty of room to carry his surfboard, a small back pack, and a flexible cooler that he had loaded down with bottles of water and a few snacks. He had set off early from the beach just north of the national park, passing a few early morning fishermen, to explore for new surf spots along the deserted coastline.

Liam paddled along in his kayak, skimming across the early morning swells as he headed south along the beach. He was bobbing along about one hundred and fifty yards off the shoreline, just outside of where the waves started to peak and break along the shore. The last layers of morning mist were burning off, as the sun crept higher and higher in the eastern sky.

Liam’s kayak was two man rig that gave him plenty of room to carry his surfboard, a small back pack, and a flexible cooler that he had loaded down with bottles of water and a few snacks. He had set off early from the beach just north of the national park, passing a few early morning fishermen, to explore for new surf spots along the deserted coastline. In the last hour, he had gone a few miles south of where he had started and had not seen anyone or anything, with the exception of a few pods of dolphins.

Today was the first day of Liam’s week long vacation and he was looking forward to doing nothing but surf, swim, and sun for the next seven days. Liam had recently graduated from college and had taken a job in his hometown. He had slaved away working long days, Saturdays; learning the ropes in his new job, so this trip was his first real opportunity to just kick back and do nothing. The new job had also left very little time for him to surf, so Liam intended to make up for lost time. His goal this morning was to locate a few choice breaks along the National Seashore so that he could drive back in his truck, later in the week.

When he felt the sun starting to beat down on his shoulders, he glided to rest so that he could strip off his tee shirt and put on some sun screen. He put on a pair of sunglasses and his waterproof mp3 player and started off again. So far, his luck had not been very good since he had not found any waves that excited him, but he found the peace and solitude amazing.

Another mile down the beach, a flash caught Liam’s eye as he scanned the waves ahead of him. For the first time all day, he saw what appeared to be a nice set of waves building up and peeling off into what appeared to be a very ratable wave. As he got closer to the spot, he realized for the first time that the flash he had seen was another surfer. As he approached, he saw the surfer take off on a wave that seemed to lead to a long ride. He finally arrived to the spot just beyond where the waves were peaking just as the surfer paddled over the top of a wave, preparing to catch another ride.

“Hello,” Liam called as he approached.

“Holy shit!” screamed the startled surfer. “You scared the crap out of me! Where the hell did you come from?”

“I’m sorry to startle you,” Liam apologized, “I guess no one expects someone to come up from out here.”

Liam was pleasantly surprised to find that the surfer was a girl, and more importantly, she was a very pretty girl. Her hair was wet, slicked back like she had recently dipped it in the water, and clearly blonde. When she sat up on her board, he also realized that she was topless!

“I am sorry,” Liam gushed as he tried to divert his eyes from her breasts. I didn’t mean to intrude.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you,” she said embarrassedly. “You’re not intruding. As you can see,” she said as she pointed at her naked chest, “I wasn’t expecting any company. I have been out here for an hour by myself and you completely surprised me. I guess I was just concentrating on the waves.”

“No apologies necessary,” Liam answered. “But, do you mind if I join you, or do you want your privacy? I have come all the way down the beach and this is the first decent break I’ve seen.”

“Sure, I’ll share with you,” she said. “The waves have been great and there is no way that I can ride them all; so yes, join me.”

“Thanks, I would love to. My name is Liam.”

“Nice to meet you Liam, my name is Shannon.”

“I’m just going to paddle in and I will join you,” Liam said. “See you in a few.”

Liam caught the next smaller wave and guided the kayak all the way to the beach. He dragged it up well beyond the waves and stowed everything away. He took out his board and rubbed wax onto the deck before he headed out into the surf. As he paddled out into the surf, he watched as Shannon caught a wave, dropping down across the face cutting hard off of the bottom before heading up again and banking off the lip to repeat the process. He was impressed as she squeezed every ounce of energy out of the wave before she kicked out just as it closed out in the shallow water.

“Nice ride,” Liam yelled as they both paddled out to wait for the next set.

“Thanks. This break has been going off like this all spring. I have really been having a lot of fun down here,” she said. “As you can tell, I wasn’t expecting anyone else. In fact, you know you are the first person to come out here, and I have been surfing here for two months.”

“How did you find this place?” he asked.

“Kind of like you did; I started hiking on day with my surfboard. I tried several spots before I found this one and I had so much fun that I never went any further down the beach,” she said as she started to paddle after another wave.

She caught it just like the last one and milked it until it was used up.

Liam caught the next wave and rode a ways before he wiped out on his second turn. He gathered his board and turned to paddle out just as she pulled up beside him.

“I guess I am a little rusty. I really haven’t ridden since last fall.”

“How come?” she asked? “You have missed some great waves over the winter.”

“I have been working. I just graduated and started a new job and I have been going at it pretty hard,” he said. “I plan on making up for lost time for the next week.”

“Well you came to the right place,” she said as she took off on another wave. She rode it hard, taking several drops before she flew off at the end.

Liam caught another wave, dropping in several times before he kicked out about fifty yards down the line. He turned and paddled out again to find Shannon sitting on top of her board, waiting for another set.

“You did much better that time. It’s amazing how fast it comes back to you,” she added.

“I know, I just hope these waves are this good all week long.”

“They’re consistently pretty good. I am amazed that all of the locals haven’t found this place yet.”

“You were serious when you said that no one else has been out here?” he asked.

“I swear. I think the fact that we are a half a mile south of the nearest parking lot adds to the privacy. I mean;” she pointed at her naked boobs, “I wouldn’t do this if there were a lot of people. I mean, I have never even seen a Park Ranger down here. So one day I figured that there was no need for me to get those ugly tan lines, since no one would see me. I guess I didn’t count on you.”

“Lucky me,” he smiled. “I was planning on driving down tomorrow. What lot do you usually park in?”

“Lot five, about 5 miles south of the park entrance,” she added.

“I paddled 5 miles? I can’t believe it,” he said. “I intend to drive down tomorrow.”

“Where are you staying?” she asked.

“I am staying in a little bungalow near the beach. I parked my truck in the public parking lot and dragged my kayak down to the beach.”

“Well, if you’d like, when I head back, I would be glad to toss your kayak on the roof of my truck so that you don’t have to paddle all the way back.”

“I would love that. I was a little concerned about getting caught out here in an afternoon thunderstorm,” Liam added. “I figured that I would have to leave two hours before the storms started to get back in time.”

“No problem. It will be nice to have some company out here for once.”

Shannon turned as another wave approached and took off, leaving Liam alone. Liam turned to see a particularly large wave heading toward him. He turned and paddled out several strokes and turned back to take off. As he dropped in, he turned to find that the face of the wave was much larger than any he had seen in a long time. As he pulled up across the face he cut back just as the lip curled overhead giving him his very first tube ride. Liam was stoked as the wave lay out before him perfectly. As the wave prepared to crash down on top of him, he kicked out, sending him flying out into space, with his board shooting out before him.

“Wow!” Shannon whooped as he resurfaced. “I have been out here for two months surfing these waves and you caught the very first tube!”

“I am just glad that there was someone here to witness it. I am going to have to get your phone number so that I can have people call you so that you can vouch for me,” he laughed as he started to paddle out.

As he paddled along behind her, Liam got a good look at Shannon’s tight little butt. She had the lean strong body of an athlete. He could see the toned muscles of her shoulders and back as she pulled through the surf, heading back out to catch the next wave. He became so transfixed on her butt that he did not realize that she had stopped to turn around until he almost paddled over her.

The funny look on Shannon’s face let him know that she knew what he had been staring at; but she seemed cool with it.

‘Busted,’ Liam thought, as he turned around to wait beside her.

“That was some ride. I have been dreaming of a wave like that,” she added.

“Maybe I should take the first wave next time. I think the second one in each set is bigger than the first and the third is even bigger.”

“Maybe I will,” she agreed. “That way I can look at your butt when we paddle out.”

Liam could feel the blush on his face as he apologized, “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to stare.”

“Don’t apologize; I’m flattered. It’s not everyday that a good-looking guy notices me.”

“Well then you must be hanging out in gay bars, if guys aren’t noticing you,” he added. “You are in incredible shape. Is that from surfing?”

It was Shannon’s turn to blush; “You are very sweet to say that. I do surf a lot, but I also jog and do some yoga.”

“We whatever it is, its working wonders.”

Liam paddled off to take another wave, followed right behind by Shannon. As they turned to head back in Liam asked, “What do you do that gives you so much time to surf.”

“I am a writer. I do free lance stories for a couple of magazines and I am working on a novel. So I surf in the mornings and I write at night,” she answered.

“It sounds like a very nice life. Have you always lived at the beach?”

“No, I lived in Orlando for a few years before this. I came over here one week for vacation and fell in love with the place, and since it doesn’t matter where I work, I decided to move over here permanently.”

“I have always wanted to live near the beach, but I have never had the chance,” Liam said.

“Well before you get settled down, you ought to give it a chance, because it’s awesome.”

“Hey, I’ve got a cooler with some water and snacks and fruit, do you want to take a break after the next wave?” he asked.

“Yeah, that would be great,” she said. “I usually bring something with me, but today I got a late start.”

They each caught a wave in the next set and rode them to within a few yards of the shore.

They sat down on the kayak as Liam opened up the cooler and set it between them. “Please help yourself,” he said as he guzzled the cold water. “Man, does that hit the spot.”

Shannon took a bottle of water and started to drink it. Then she grabbed a handful of grapes and as she popped one into her mouth she asked, “If you haven’t been surfing for the last several months, what do you do to stay in such good shape?”

“I have been running and swimming almost everyday” Liam answered. “It helps me with my endurance out here, but I am already feeling my muscles from rowing that kayak.”

“Where do you live?” she asked.

“I live in Orlando. I grew up there, so it made the most sense,” he answered. “I grew up coming here in the summers. This place is like a second home.” “Well, it’s pretty amazing. It gets a little lonely in the winter time, but spring, summer and fall are like a zoo.”

Liam realized again that he was talking to a very pretty, perfect stranger, who just happened to be topless.

“If you don’t mind me saying so, you are surprisingly comfortable being topless around me,” he said. “Not that I am complaining, but I am surprised.”

“I would be glad to cover up if it offends you,” she joked. “But to be perfectly honest; you kind of surprised me, so there was really nothing I could do about it. Besides, now that I have been doing it like this, I would hate to go back to those pesky tan lines.”

Liam laughed, “Then far be it from me to impose tan lines on you. In fact, feel free to lose the bottom if the mood suits, or unsuits you.”

She gave him a devilish grin, “I have actually tried that, but to be honest, I found that the surf wax played havoc with my pubes.”

‘This girl is really a fireball’ Liam thought. He decided to give it back to her as good as she gave.

“You could always shave off the offending pubes,” he said as he gave her a grin of his own.

Shannon chuckled, “Now aren’t you the enterprising young man. I bet you’d like that.”

He pretended to think about it before he answered, “Why, yes, I think I would. I would like that very much.”

She laughed very hard at him and threw a grape at his head.

She trained her stare on him as she said, “Well, I’ll make a deal with you. I will surf naked if you will.”

He laughed until he noticed that she was still staring at him.

“You’re serious? You’d surf naked out here?”

“I told you, you are the first person that I have seen down here in two months. So yes, I will surf naked if you will.”

“When, now?” he asked.

“No, but I will tomorrow. I told you that I had that whole wax problem. So I have a little grooming to do before I am willing to try it. But you better be prepared to do it too,” she teased. Liam spit in his hand and held it out to her. “Deal?”

Shannon spit in her hand and took his and shook it. “Deal! Yuck!” she said as she wiped her hand off in the water.

Liam grabbed a bottle of sun screen out of his backpack and sprayed it on his face, arms, shoulders and chest. “Could you do my back?”

She did his back and then turned around so that he could reciprocate.

“You’d better bring this tomorrow. I have a feeling that we are both going to need it,” she joked as he sprayed her back.

When he was done, she took the bottle and sprayed it on her face and chest. As she rubbed it into her skin she laughed as she noticed that Liam was staring at her tits again.

“You men are so funny. I think the reason that women have to wear bras and shirts is because all work would stop if we didn’t.”

Liam blushed again as he realized that he had been busted for the second time.

“Guilty,” he said sheepishly. “What can I say, I like breasts.”

Shannon guffawed, “No crap, I will alert the press.”

Liam stowed everything back in the backpack before he stood up to grab his surfboard. “Want to go back out?”

“Lead the way,” she said as she waded out behind him. “This view is much better! I can’t wait until tomorrow.”

“Are you always such a tease?” he asked as they climbed over the oncoming waves.

“Not really. I guess you just inspire me,” she responded.

Shannon turned to take off on a particularly large wave, followed close behind by Liam. They continued to surf and talk off and on for another couple of hours before Shannon declared that it was time to go home.

“I hope you don’t mind going back so early in the day, but I have some writing to do tonight,” she apologized.

“Not a problem at all,” he answered. “I have caught more great waves today than I have in most weeks. Shall we catch one more?”

They sat on their boards, bobbing in the surf waiting for one last wave. When Shannon saw a good set pull up, she decided to take off and Liam decided to take off beside her. They both rode the wave gliding up and down across the face until the wave closed out at just short of the beach. They both jumped off their boards and walked up the beach.

Liam grabbed another pair of water bottles and handed one to her. Shannon pulled her tee shirt over her head, tossed her board into the kayak with his and grabbed one end of it for the trek up to the parking lot.

They fell into an easy conversation as they walked along, sharing some of the details of their lives. They soon discovered that they had gone to the same college; Shannon graduated about a year before Liam. They also discovered that Shannon had lived in the same neighborhood as Liam before she had moved to the beach. When they got to the truck, they tossed the kayak on the roof and tied it down and loaded everything else inside. As they drove along the conversation continued.

“How much writing do you have to do tonight?” Liam asked. “I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me; if your schedule would allow.”

“Sure, that would be fine. What time do you want to pick me up?” she asked.

“You tell me. You are the one on a schedule.”

“How about seven?” she asked.

“I will pick you up. All I need is the address.”

Liam directed her to his pickup which was parked in the public lot by the beach. “I will see you at seven. Do you mind if we go some place that will allow shorts? I didn’t think to bring anything dressier,” he added.

“Perfect. I will see you at seven,” she said as she pulled away.

Right at seven, Liam pulled onto her street and started to look for her address. When he found her mailbox, he turned down a short drive that felt more like driving into a forest. Her yard consisted of palms, shrubs, flowers and ground covers; that were traversed by a raised walkway and a deck. Her little house was covered completely in rough cypress planks and had large windows that opened out onto her garden. As he rang the bell to announce his presence, he could hear the bark of a large dog. Shannon was literally pulled to the door by a massive white lab that she had tethered by its choke chain. Before she opened the door, Shannon settled the dog down and turned to let Liam in.

“Hey,” she said as she greeted him. “You obviously found the place okay.”

“No, I am still lost somewhere else,” he joked as he stepped inside the room.

“This is Diogy,” she said as she introduced her dog to him. “What type of name is that?” he asked as he petted the dog.

“Think about it for a second,” she said as she smiled at him.

A look of bewilderment was replaced by amusement as it finally dawned on him. “Very clever, D - O - G. Very cool!”

“I wish I could claim the credit, but I heard it on an afternoon radio show in Orlando,” she admitted. “Well really I heard about a cat named Ciaty.”

“Still, I am very impressed,” he said as he rubbed the dog’s ears.

“Do you want a quick tour?” she asked.

“Sure, lead the way,” he answered.

The house was very small but very nice. Every room had lots of light, either through the windows or through a network of skylights that ran down the middle of the house. Everything opened up onto the gardens which ran completely around the property. Outside of the master bedroom was an elaborate outside a bathroom with a shower and tub.

“I have always wanted one of these,” Liam said.

“So had I, so when I bought this place, it was the first big project.”

She also showed him her office which opened up onto the back garden. She also had a desk set up outside as well, which allowed her to enjoy the garden, even when she was working.

“I am impressed,” he said as they walked back inside. “How long have you been here?”

“A little more than a year,” she answered. “Why do you ask?”

“You did all of this in a little more than a year?”

Still, as I got dressed to leave, I realized I was going to have to see many of these women again. They knew and saw everything about me.

Whenever I see Louise she is able to act as if nothing had happened, especially in front of her husband. But she always manages to give me a knowing look before leaving, just enough to embarrass me. A couple of other neighbors give me a smirk as if to say, “I’ve seen you bareass naked, so don’t get too smart.” I think about the pictures that were taken and wonder how many women in town might have come across them.

I still see Rena and Megan at the restaurant and they love giving me that knowing look. Megan likes teasing me discreetly. “Would you like your chicken wings with hot sauce, barbecue sauce or naked?” I also hear her mention “cocktail wieners” when she’s around me.

Wendy, of course, is the only reason I visit the restaurant. The other day she told me a women at Louise’s party was hosting another party. Would I like to be her guest? “Of course,” I told her. “I’m the defending champion.” This could be the beginning of an interesting relationship.
