There was truly nothing that Jessica loved more than a beautiful day at the beach.

She had been surfing for several hours now, but that time just seemed to breeze by. She wasn't used to having so much time to surf, actually. Surfing was an activity done in secret--an act of rebellion. Her dad has never approved of it because time surfing was time she was not spending on dance practice, singing lessons, and acting classes.

Now she could do it whenever she wanted. It felt strange to not have to surf in small time increments before she would have to run home. But at the same time--it was freedom. Now here she was--she had her own surfboard, rather than borrowing from friends. It was one of the first things she had bought when she had ended up on Manta Carlos, because shopping therapy is a valid form of therapy, right? She knew exactly what she wanted the moment she saw it too--a hot pink and glittery longboard. It was hers.

After those several hours of surfing, she finally started to feel the burn in her arms. She paddled back up to the shore and decided to simply sit on her surfboard and watch the waves. She zipped her wetsuit down partially, exposing her flowery bikini top so that she could feel the wind against her skin. She pulled her ponytail out and let her wet hair fall over her shoulders.

She had been lucky enough to find an area of the shore with decent waves and not many people. Just her and the crashing of the waves.

Manta Carlos wasn't the Golden Coast, but it was pretty damn close.

Katie

The sun was shining, waves were crashing, and Katie was at the beach.

While yes, technically she could have gone to the beach back home, Massachusetts wasn't exactly a place you went to when you wanted to go to a beach. Manta Carlos on the other hand, had great beaches, and it was an almost perfect day for a day at the beach.

Carrying a towel in one hand, and a bag full of sunscreen and other stuff. Katie was perfectly content to just lounge on the beach. She was fairly lucky to find a section of the beach that wasn't super crowded. Save for a certain blonde surfer.

"Jessica!! Hiii!" She said as she quickly bounded over to where Jessica was sitting, while thanking the heavens for her good luck in bumping into her here.

Jessica was starting to zone out when she heard someone call her name. She immediately perked up, looking around until she saw Katie. The smile on her face was just about as bright as the sun itself.

"Hey you!" She hopped up from her surfboard and went in for a hug.

"Lucky us finding this spot, right?" She said with a grin, before looking out toward the ocean. "The waves have been so good today, too!"

Katie

Katie smiled and hugged Jessica back. "I know right?!" she said, a lucky meeting in a lucky sport, this beach day was off to a great start already.

Breaking the hug, and looking out towards the water, Katie was a little confused on what Jessica meant when she said the waves had been good today. "They have?" She asked, before noticing Jessicas surfboard. "Wait! Do you surf?" she asked with a gasp. Katie had never been surfing before, though there was no time like the present to learn. Maybe she could talk Jessica into letting her try.

"I do surf! This pretty pink baby isn't just for show!" She kicked the board up and grabbed it with her arm.

"Do you want to try it? You look like you want to try it." Jessica leaned forward with a huge grin. It was like she read Katie's mind. "I could show you the basics."

Katie

Katie grinned back when Jessica offered to show her the basics of how to surf. "Yes please!" she said eagerly. Not only was she going to get to learn how to surf, but she also got to do it with Jessica of all people.

"Soooo... what do I do frist?" Katie asked. She didn't have the faintest clue of how to even stand on the board, let alone how to actually surf.

"Cool cool cool, let me show you the basics on the sand first."

She let her board fall to the sand and got on it. Laying on her stomach, she started demonstrating a paddle.

"So, this is how you paddle when you're going out into the water. Easy enough. We'll find you a nice small wave to practice on. When you're ready to ride, you first have to position yourself looking toward the shore. When you feel that burst of momentum as the wave catches your board, that's when you--"

Jessica pressed her hands against the top of the board, and suddenly hopped up.

"--pop up." She grins. "So that's the tricky part, cause you gotta do it in one smooth motion. Your instinct will be to get on your knees before your feet, but don't."

She got back down on her stomach again, to demonstrate with slower actions.

"Hands go flat on the board first. Don't grab the sides. You're going to lift yourself like you're doing a pushup. Then, plant your back foot down, then pull your front foot up. Keep your knees bent. I prefer left foot back and right foot forward, but you will get a feel for what you prefer with practice."

With that, she relaxed her stance and turned to Katie.

"And that's really all the basics you need! And I'm probably making it sound easy as hell, but you will fall. Like, a lot. And it's fine because we all do."

She hopped off the board and gestured for Katie to get on.

"Try practicing paddling and popping up a few times."

Katie

Katie watched as Jessica demonstrated what to do, though Katie was a little worried when she finished explaining everything. Jessica had made it look so easy, and Katie had a feeling that it would be much, much harder for her.

Still, that wasn't going to stop her from trying. She got the paddling down pretty quick, but the pop up was a bit trickier, she kept either going to her knees first, or she would struggle to plant her feet and get her footing right.

After about 15 minutes of trying and failing to successfully get up, Katie finally got the pop up just right. "Jessica! I did It!" Katie yelled with excitement. "Should we try it in the water next?"

Jessica watched as Katie tried the pop up, giving her tips and more demonstrations as needed until she started getting it.

"Awesome! Foot work is looking good!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands together with utter glee. Teaching others about her passions was such a delight.

She turned her head toward the ocean, watching how the waves were rolling in.

"Yeah, waves are looking good. Let's see if we can get you riding on a small one!"

First things first, Jessica got the ankle leash on her.

"That's so the board doesn't go floating away if you fall. Cause they're expensive and that would suuuuuck," she said with a laugh.

"Alright, let's go!" She started heading toward the beach.

Katie

Katie nodded as she put on the ankle leash. Once that was done she followed Jessica out into the water, the waves were good, but a lot of them were big, too big for Katie to even think about trying to surf on them.

Finally, she spotted a wave that looked small enough for her to ride on. "Oh! Jessica, how about that one?" She asked, pointing towards it and trying to line herself up with it. Once that was done she tried to do the pop up and surf it.

Except that doing a pop up on flat, solid ground is quite a bit different then actually doing it in the water, and no sooner had Katie done the pop up, then she lost her balance and fell into the water.

She quickly swam back up to the surface and grinned. "It's so much harder in the water!" she giggled before paddling back over towards Jessica and looking for another wave.
