The human body, unlike raisins, white wine, and the wit of Oscar Wilde, isn't meant to be dry. Walk on the Wilde side with today's Groupon: for $24, you get a one-hour paddleboarding lesson and one hour of free play from Island Action Sports (a $55 value).

Island Action's watersport aficionados deliver equipment, instructors, and fun to beaches across St. Petersburg's gulf side islands. Teachers arrive at the agreed-upon location with paddleboard in tow outfitting students with safety gear and essential knowledge in a one-hour course that requires nothing more than balance, sunscreen, and a blatant disregard for the laws of physics. After mastering the currents under the watchful eye of your paddle mentor, test new skills and strengthen core muscles in a one-hour free exploration of surrounding beaches and wildlife preserves. Island Action retrieves all rented gear at the end of the session, allowing vacations to continue their beachy frolic without the bother of a paddle-size fanny pack.
