#SURFSATURDAYS
1.) Surf. If you don’t know already how to catch a wave, why not learn how to surf? The core-building sport is perfect to tone your body and connects you with the water like no other. Think of mediation meets thrill-seeking adventures on the water. Nothing is better than riding your first wave till the very end.

2.) Standup Paddleboarding (SUP). For many in southern California, SUP has become the favorite past time hobby. This core-building activity [as well] is smooth sailing once you balance yourself on the board. Paddle out far near the Malibu Pier, and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to be alongside a pod of dolphins.
