LIST: These exhilarating surfing resorts are celebrity-approved
Grab your surfboard, take a deep breath, and get ready to ride the waves—it’s surfing season.
Summer is more than just sunbathing at the beach, going hiking, or lounging around in your comfiest pajamas. Why not make the most out of the season by surfing?
