"Well, guess that's my cue." Haruka threw her bangs back with a passage from her fingers. The second annual Topless Surfing Competition, what a farce. But hey, the prize money was ridiculous. It had to be with a prerequisite like that.
The event was always staged on a private beach, but that didn't stop it from drawing numerous spectators. Little surprise.
"You sure you want to do this, sis? It seems kinda... risky."
"Chill out, Hoshi." Haruka was all smiles as she ruffled her little brother's hair with that same hand from before, holding her surfboard close as she fearlessly strode towards the beach. "I got this."
She saw the silhouettes gathered around the lapping shoreline, which was still in low tide, but the waves would be coming in soon enough.
All the other competitors and the judges were female, too, so it wasn't like she had much to be shameful about. In fact it was pretty nice to have an excuse to show off her physique, in a shameless kind of way.
Still, she couldn't help but display a little modesty as she stopped a few feet from the water, hugging the length of the board against her breasts. No point being a show-off.
"So, uh, when do we start?" Haruka shifted lightly on her feet, looking over to her right... and noticed a sea of faces staring at her topless form.
Someone snickered, then the other women began giggling outright. Haruka somehow hadn't noticed each and every one of them were fully clothed.
"Uh, isn't this for-... the, um, topless-"
"Oh, that silliness. It's on the other side of the beach." A nearby girl managed to hold back her laughter enough to point beyond the crowd of beachgoers between the gathering and the far side of the shore by the pier.
