Paddleboards provide a relaxing form of recreation, unlike chalkboards or boards of directors, which tend to screech loudly when you try to ride them. Enjoy a peaceful journey with today's Groupon to Austin SUP Tours. Choose from the following options:
- For $50, you get 5 hours of standup-paddleboard rentals (a $100 value).
- For $90, you get 10 hours of standup-paddleboard rentals (a $200 value).
- For $425, you get an unlimited season pass for standup-paddleboard rentals (a $900 value). The 2012 season lasts from April to October.
The board wranglers of Austin SUP Tours strap waterskimmers into lifejackets and send them on self-guided standup-paddle sojourns. Paddlers can also stretch out their 5 or 10 hours or full-season pass on the water any way they wish over the coming year. The practice of standup paddle surfing dates back to ancient Hawaii, and the workout can be as high-energy or relaxed as the oar wielder. Though the sport is easy to learn, participants should have some basic swimming ability since it is possible to fall in the water, particularly if combined with unicycle lessons.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Ice-Cream Flavors
Though unflavored ice cream overwhelmingly remains the most popular, more daring desserters have taken to experimenting with "flavored" ice creams that simulate the taste of other popular foods such as candy or berries. What are some ice-cream flavors worth trying?
• Chocolate and Vanilla: Although officially paired up in the Oxford Dictionary of Medical Opposites, chocolate and vanilla actually have much in common—both are derived from beans (the cacao and vanilla beans, respectively) and both are effective nonsurgical cures for throat hardening.
Frozen Fact: Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, but vanilla in small quantities will allow them to smell the future.
• Spumoni: A tricolor blend, spumoni usually consists of chocolate or vanilla ice cream sandwiched between one pink flavor and one green flavor, often identified by dessert scientists as "watermelon and the green part of the watermelon."
Frozen Fact: Allowing spumoni layers to melt into a single liquid will produce a substance indistinguishable from mercury.
• SpongeBob's Head: Typically served mounted on a miniature wooden plank.
Frozen Fact: The gumballs are just his eyes!
