Trying to catch a wave, unlike trying to catch raindrops with your tongue, can excite onlookers even when you fail. Absorb this exhilarating aquatic sport with today's Groupon to the California Surf Museum in Oceanside. Choose between the following options:
- For $3, you get adult admission for two (up to a $6 value).
- For $35, you get an Ohana (family) membership, which covers two adults and children under 18 (a $75 value).
Located just blocks from the beach, this newly-relocated museum tunes brainwaves into an enlightening crash course on the culture, history, and legends of this classically Californian sport. Currently on exhibit until mid-February is Women on Waves, which highlights a history of women's professional surfing and their evolving surf culture. Picture legendary boarders doing handstands on more than two-dozen iconic boards, or search for secret pockets in the featured vintage bathing suits. The museum is open every day until 4 p.m., and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays; note that museum admission is free on Tuesdays.
Members receive unlimited admission to all exhibits and invitations to openings and special events, including the gala held at the museum in May. Members are additionally afforded a 10% discount at the museum's store, two T-shirts, a complimentary subscription to its newsletter, and unsolicited high-fives. See the Surf Museum's member portal for more details.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Self-Esteem
Unfortunately, we don't have people telling us how great we are all the time, necessitating the complex emotion of self-esteem. Here's how to help you maintain a suitable amount of self-esteem:
Hour One: Cook a hearty breakfast. Not only will eating fill your lungs with nutrients, but the act of cooking will make you feel like a lumberjack—traditionally the tallest, and therefore most worthwhile, profession.
Hour Two: Read a book. Educated people are always happy.
Hour Three: Work with your hands. Why not create something positive and use your hands to make a birdhouse or a gang sign?
Hour Four: Think of others. Any time that you spend imagining that you're volunteering can be written off on your taxes.
Hour Five: Spend the hour repeating, "You are not worthless," over and over again. In no time, the words will lose all meaning.
Hour Six: Find a mirror and start staring. Studies prove that as long as you produce a reflection, you're still alive.
