Be Wet. Be Active. Be Local.

#SURFSATURDAYS

Not sure where to go this weekend to jump-start some of your active and healthier New Year’s resolutions? We’ve compiled the TOP 5 OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES to take advantage of in the ‘Bu. Whether you start this weekend, or the following, you can be sure to enjoy these year-round undertakings. 

 

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.

3.) Hiking. If you don’t already know, along the Pacific Coast Highway, from Pt. Mugu to Malibu, the majestic Santa Monica Mountains are what separate the coastal lifestyle from city frills. With a plethora of trails to choose from, you can start your trek from beginner to advanced paths that will get your heart pumping and into a healthier you in no time.  Try: Zuma Ridge Trail Head - it's one of our favorites for a scenic hike.
