$55 for a Three-Hour Beginning Surfing Clinic ($99 Value)

A one-day version of Adventure Out’s regular two-day clinic, this three-hour lesson is offered in both Pacifica and Santa Cruz. CPR- and lifeguard-certified instructors tailor their clinics to complete surf novices or those with only limited experience, starting with an overview of ocean conditions and safety, wave etiquette, push-up and pop-up techniques, and finally, wave riding and balancing. Using provided gear, students start in shallow waters, venturing out further only if they’re comfortable.

Adventure Out

When Cliff Hodges, the founder and CEO of Adventure Out, graduated from MIT with a degree in electrical engineering, he knew a traditional desk job wasn’t for him. According to Technology Review, he quickly gave up his engineering career for the wireless world of the great outdoors, where he began to hike, climb, and surf his way around the world, always staying true to his philosophy of environmental respect and protection. His travels and business accomplishments have gained some measure of notoriety; he's coached on MTV's Made, consulted for ABC News, and was selected as one of four winners of the 2011 Santa Cruz County Civic Service Award: The Nextie.Today, he and his program consultant Tom McElroy lead excursions into the California wilderness to teach backpacking and survival skills, including the tracking of animals and wild ice-cream trucks, and they also guide novices through surfing, rock-climbing, and mountain-biking sojourns.

The Groupon Guide to: Bumper Stickers

With the government cracking down on the Internet and dirty video games, the only public forum we have left is bumper stickers. These are the best ones to pump up your bump:

  • "My other child is an honor student"
  • "I LOVE SPROTS!"
  • "There’s a troll in my trunk. Just kidding! I wish I weren’t though. I wish magic was real."
  • "I hate some of the presidents"
  • Calvin peeing on the words “public urination”
  • “Coke-exist” spelled using the Coke logos
  • "Don’t like my driving? Call 1-800-SORRYME for a prerecorded message of me apologizing"

Don’t blame me. I tried my best at being president.
