Brandon Cross had arrived on the island just a few minutes ago.
"Oh, man, this place is beautiful. Kinda reminds me of Banoi from Dead Island, thankfully without all of the zombies."
He lugged his stuff over to the closest hotel and paid for his room that he had set up. Taking the elevator up, he stepped off and swiped his key card to get into the room.
It was a nice room with a lovely view of the beach.
"Man, I gotta remember to tape record the sun going down over that. Sun going down over water like that? Amazing."
After shutting the door, he unpacked his stuff and set up his stereo.
"Time to christen this vacation."
Brandon took a Beach Boys CD out of its case and put it in, turning it to "Surfin' USA". As it played, he closed his eyes and drifted away into it. When it ended, he put it back in its case.
"Time to do some surfin' for real."
Brandon changed into some swim trunks and grabbed his beach stuff. He went down to the beach, thankful that he was wearing flip-flops, and drove his umbrella into the beach before laying down his red towel, soda, and chips.
Brandon walked over to the surf board rental shop and picked one up. He ran out onto the beach, paddling out to the waves before standing on his board. As it glided along the water, he ran his hand through it and smiled. He turned the board so that it was on the side, doing a loop-de-loop. As the wave died down, he cruised to the shore and back to his flip-flops.
Heading up to his umbrella and things, he drove the board into the ground and opened the soda to get a drink.
"That was good. Going to have to do some more a little later."
He laid back to eat some chips and look up at the sky.
"Not a cloud. This was just what the doctor ordered."
