Before ocean surfing, thrill seekers were forced to sneak onto the stage at rock concerts before leaping board-first onto waves of angry humans. Learn to ride waves that can’t punch you in the head in retaliation with today's Groupon: for $79, you get admission to a Weekend Watersports Clinic, which includes a trio of three-hour lessons in standup paddle boarding, surfing, and kayaking, from Ocean Experience Surf School (a $195 value). All classes convene on Saturdays and Sundays at 9 a.m., and guests can spread lessons out across any weekend through October 24, with the option to select a different sport at each lesson. All sessions are capped at 20 people and a Groupon-sporting adult must accompany children under 12.
Ocean Experience has introduced countless water cowboys to the ebb and flow of nature since 1990. Across a trinity of three-hour lessons, Ocean Experience's expert wave-wonders guide students through the fundamentals of surfing, kayaking, and standup paddle boarding, granting them a savvy set of water-trotting skills to flaunt in the face of shade-sporting suns and naysaying mermen. Customized to the skills of each group, lessons cover balance, technique, etiquette, and water safety before spending two hours tackling the water's frothy spumes and lock-tousling zephyrs. All necessary equipment is included.

The Groupon Guide to: Steadying Your Nerves
A number of things could be responsible for butterflies in your stomach—public speaking, prepping for your upcoming marriage exam, or swallowing a colony of butterfly larvae. Identify the source of your wracked nerves and then consult this handy guide for the appropriate coping mechanism:
- When giving a presentation to a large crowd: Imagine the audience is naked.
- When taking an exam: Imagine the exam proctor is nakedly transparent about wanting you to ace the test.
- When at a job interview: Imagine the person conducting the interview is naked, and that all of the questions are pertaining to the whereabouts of their clothes. Hint: they are hidden in your new corner office!
- When nervous about your thirst: Knock back a cool, refreshing Naked® 100% fruit smoothie.
- When asking someone out on a date: Under no circumstances imagine them naked, then or ever.
