The
walls vibrated as soon as the spotlights hit them. Feet stomped. Fans
yelled. Some even stood on their chairs. Camera lights clicked on and
so did Lincoln. Brightly. He strode to the center of the stage.
Confident. Compelling. Controlled. A cosmic force.
He
plucked the mic from the stand glared at the audience daring them to
come along with him or get the hell out of the way, before he and the
guys launched into a cover of ‘Satisfaction’ that kicked ass as
righteously as the original.
It
went uphill from there. Ramon on guitar flashing his flirt. Ash
slamming sexy on his drums. Patch firm and steady on bass. And Linc
my gorgeous warrior with depths of worth that he still failed to
recognize eclipsing them all. The Dirt Dogs might still a bit rough
around the edges but they were undeniably on the ascent. What had
started out as something to occupy their time when the surf wasn’t
up had transformed into a magical mélange of Pacific saltwater,
California sun and hard rocking in your face attitude.
I
moved quickly across the parking lot shielding my eyes from the glare
when I reached the sand. The tension inside my stomach instantly
ratcheted tighter. I recognized Lincoln right away. Even in his wet
suit the way he moved across the surface of the ocean on his board
was as unique as he was.
Under
the curtain unleashing his fins.
Maxing
out of the tube.
Finding
steep wall and going nearly vertical.
Those
were the maneuvers I knew, the others I didn’t but that didn’t
make them any less awe inspiring.

favorite inspirational surf youtube video with music that captures
the tone and spirit of Outside perfectly`
“You
afraid?”
I
shook my head. I was never afraid of him. Never.
He
studied me a beat seeming to notice my parted lips, heavy breathing,
hard nipples and trembling.
“Turned
on?” he guessed.
I
nodded.
“Get
on my board then, babe. I aim to please if you’ll let me.”

Outside
Rock
Stars, Surf and Second Chances
When
handsome California surf god Lincoln Savage suddenly rolls into Ocean
Beach like a rogue wave, shy beauty Simone Bianchi’s foundation is
shaken. No longer under the thumb of her domineering father, she’s
made a simple quiet life for herself and her fluffy fourteen pound
Havanese pup running a surf shop in her hometown of OB. Long ago she
gave up her dreams for a future with Linc.
But
now the notorious lead singer of the Dirt Dogs has returned, and
Simone is reluctant to admit that she’s still vulnerable to his
killer dimpled smile and easy charm. She finds that although she’s
stowed away the mementos, it hasn’t been as easy to erase the
memories of their epic summer love.
It
seems he hasn’t forgotten, either.
Is
the recording contract he’s offering merely a pretense?
Or
does he have something more in mind?
Does
he really believe that they can just pick up where they left off,
despite all the bad luck and heartache?
And
is she willing to risk everything again for one last chance at love?
