  • His blue eyes shifted from the large dog to its mistress, looking almost blankly at her before answering "Garrets ... you should keep it on a leesh or something." he nodded towards the dog, but couldn't help but leave his blue gaze on her. She was perfect... he'd never seen her before he was pretty sure- but then again he never tended to pay much attention to anyone else. "Should I know you?" she knew him afterall.

• She raised a brow "Yes, Garrets, that's right... I'm Aislinn Bergin." She reached to shake a hand - she realized where she recognized him from now - he had a full page spread directly opposite hers in one of the more recent issues of an influential surf magazine. "You should know me - I would kick your ass if men and women surfed together." She grinned a little bit - "I'm page 35 of SurfWorld, and you're page 36." She completely ignored the comment about Bo on a leash -- for her it was akin to how some people felt about taking away a dog's "manhood" - taking away his freedom was something she did as seldom as possible.

• He cocked his head at her at that and glanced her over "Oh. I never saw it." He didn;t do much to keep up on the gossip of the circuit- never bothered reading articles about himself or looking at pictures of himself. "Aislinn Bergin... are you Jordan Bergins daughter?" he knew his fathers best friend had a daughter- but he couldn't remember her name either. Bergin wasn't a particulary common name that he knew.

• She raised a brow and nodded, "No.. he's my uncle though." Small world, maybe. She flashed him a smile - "Maybe you should know me then?" She loved her uncle, but didn't see nearly enough of him - there were all of these kids running around her age that she should know but didn't.. She cocked a hip as she stood, resting the tip of her board in the sand - custom made for her not by a sponsor but by a master craftsman as a gift, she had loads of sponsor boards at home that she only used in competition. (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 7:50am PDT

• He raised a brow and nodded a touch, digging his own board into the sand and offering her a hand, his australian accent strong "Ah, alright... you're mom's Ace then right? I think she was close to my mom...Cadence? Before we moved at least..." He shrugged his shoulders and put his hands on his hips, glancing back out tot he waves- he wasn;t great at this conversation thing. "Waves are decent here..." (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 8:45am PDT

• "Yep, that would be my mom." She had long grown up in the shadow of her mom's success, under her scrutinizing eye on the waves. A bob of her head indicated that she was following along - she didn't know a whole lot of her mom's tumultuous past, she had not grown up with Cadence's kids, but she knew what little she could piece together from what her stepdad actually KNEW and what her mom shared. "Yeah, they're great this time of year - you're heading out already? You're missing the best light of the day.. " She glanced out towards the water as though looking at a long lost friend - with a great deal of fondness. (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 9:01am PDT

• Andre didn't know a huge amount about their parents pasts ewither- but he'd been told plenty of stories about how Jordan and his dad had met in cornwall, england and how his dad had come over to America with him- heard plenty of stories about the things they got upto from his mom. "I've been out there a few hours- started getting a bit busy and people get in my way" He shrugged it off- completely unaware of how arrogant he was. (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 9:07am PDT

• "You're not far enough down the beach then - you're just surfing in babywaves." She grinned toothily, she didn't mean to instigate, but she sure couldn't help herself sometimes, especially when it came to one of her colleagues -- "Why don't you try a couple more runs on the real waves before you write off the beach entirely -- it's reserved for the real surfers like you and me." She shrugged, picking her board up and tucking it under her arm again. "What have you got to lose?" (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 9:21am PDT

• He took no pleasure in riding the waves anymore- sure the tropheys were nice and the money certainly helped- but thats all it was these days- a pay check. So he nearly declined- but he hated to back away from a challenge- and if she ranked herself as highly as him- it might be worth seeing. "Nothing I guess.." He picked up his board and tucked it under his right arm, letting his blue eyes flicker over her discretly before turnign in the difrection she had been headed. (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 9:26am PDT

• "Your pride maybe?" She grinned over her shoulder as she headed off toward the more secluded area of the beach, kissing for Bo to follow along, which he did readily. Her strides were long, her free arm swinging - her entire composure screamed loud and clear that she was looking forward to hitting the waves and that this was what she loved to do - she peeked back over her shoulder to look at him, but she had certainly seen those muscles in his ad, so it wasn't anything new - she kicked off her flipflops once she hit the part of the sand she wanted to be at and dropped her board a second to pull her tank top off, revealing her typical outfit - board shorts, hibiscus flowers adorning them and a faded bikini top. She looked at him anxiously, waiting for him to head toward the water before she made a move. (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 9:35am PDT

  ---

• He merely cocked a brow to her (after having a moment or two to check her out while she wasn't looking) before he flicked off his own flipflops, striding out confidently to the water were much larger waves were crashing- undaunted as he pushed his board and and laid himself on it, paddling out into the heart of the swells. This was more like home. (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 10:30am PDT

  ---

• She dropped her board into the water and paddled out easily, Bo remained in the shallows where the waves were breaking, barking at her the entire time, his loud barks echoing across the beach - he always did it, like her own little audience - he would play in the water while he waited for her to come back. Her strong arms pulled her through the water at a pace even to his until she felt she had paddled out far enough, she sat up, straddling her board and looked over at him, waiting for the next good wave to come in. (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 10:37am PDT

• Typically, as they arrived in place the waves quietened, so he sat up on his board looking out at the wide ocean, sighing to himself- he remembered a time when this was his life- he blew off school, girls, friends- everything for a wave. But he didn;t feel that thrill anymore. It was like he was dead inside- ever since Tori left him- nothing was the same anymore. (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 10:45am PDT

  ---

• Watching as a good swell came in, she looked over at him, "Who's going first?" She wanted to have a chance to size up the competition, of course, so she definitely wanted to watch - she always enjoyed being able to snoop on people of her calibre - she even liked watching beginners, just to see - because this was all a part of her. She recognized that he didn't seem as excited when the wave began to come in - her whole body was thrumming with excitement and he looked like a wet duck, bobbing in the water on his board. (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 10:48am PDT

  ---

• He had the skill and the style- just not the passion anymore. He glanced over to her before cocking a brow and shrugging his shoulders "Lets be honest- you wanna see what I can do." With that he turned his board around and passled hard towards the shore- the strength in his muscles rippling through his upper body as he pushed and pushed- waiting until he was on the crest of the wave before he pushed himself up to a crouch on his board, , standing up as he dipped into the swell, manipulating and working it to his advantage. The scoreboards would be reading top marks if he wa sin a competiton- which was why he was where and who he was- but it was clear his heart wasn;t in it. (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 10:56am PDT

• She nearly laughed out loud when he made that comment - he had read her like a book - then again, that wasn't typically hard - she wasn't the brooding type - she told it like it was and when she wanted something, she asked, that was it. She leaned back on her board, propping herself up with the heels of her hands as she watched him move across the wave, almost mechanically - it was hardly flawed - in fact, much closer to perfect, but something was missing that she couldn't quite put her finger on. She sat back watching until he paddled back out, one brow raised as he neared her. "You're right, I just wanted to see. Curiousity did kill the cat, you know." (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 11:01am PDT

• He sat astride his board as he pulled in next to her, cocking a brow and smirking a little "So what did you think?" He pushed the wet blonde hair from his eyes, shaking his head to rid himself of access water. "Impressed? " (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 11:30am PDT

  ---

• "Am I meant to be?" She grinned a little bit, but then conceded, nodding. "Your technique is flawless, like the articles say.. " She didn't say anything else but watched as the next wave drew in and made her way out into the breaker, paddling for shore until the precise moment she rose to her feet - she wasn't surfing this wave, she was playing with it - she cut across the wave with ease, relaxed and composed until she hit the end of it and dropped to her board, paddling back out, Bo barking on the shoreline. "Are you impressed?" (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 11:37am PDT

  ---

• It was refreshing to see her love for the waves and her playfulness He smirked as she returned his question and cocked his head before shrugging his shoulders. "Theres room for improvement- but you're bold and you have fun doing it... you make it look easy- so I guess i am kinda impressed." He flashed her a half hearted smirk, looking at the horizon before turnign his board "Come, enough ego petting... lets get some waves clocked up." (NT) -- Andre, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 11:47am PDT

  ---

• She pulled a face, sticking her tongue out at him - okay, she wasn't good on criticism, unless it was from her mom and even then she resented it, but she brushed this off the best she could without feeling like a wounded baby over his 'improvement' comment and turned her board in the direction he was headed in. (NT) -- Ais, Thu, Jun 29 2006, 12:03pm PDT

  ---

• He cocked a brow to her and smirked as she followed him, unable to help but be amused at her pout, his long powerful arms carrying him out onto the top of a wave, riding each one that came with the perfect prescision the articles always boasted about him- but none of the spirit that Aislin showed.
