If you're one of the throngs of beachcombers who've taken up paddleboarding (a derivative of the ancient Hawaiian art of standup surfing), then get thyself and thy board over to Dana Point Harbor. Glide past the boats and meander among tall ships and kayaks in the breezy beauty that is Dana Point. You don't even need to own your own board because both rentals and lessons are available through the OC Sailing and Events Center. So, slip on those trunks, board shorts or bikini and join the new outdoor-fitness craze—you might even make some new friends, both land mammal and sea.
