Surf Mondos Beach
As a native Californian, I’m embarrassed to admit I never really surfed. Mike and I took lessons back in our first country of Brazil, but it never stuck…until Ventura! We signed up with the Mary Osborne Surf Academy, founded by this pro-surfer and champion longboarder, and hit the gorgeous Mondos Beach. The quality of the waves, instruction, and scenery made something click for me! I was up by the second round and Mike and I were hanging ten for a full morning of fun. Mary Osborne’s school has taught over 1,200 kids and nearly a thousand women over 40 how to surf, so it’s never too early or late to catch a wave. And no matter what, you gotta get to Mondos Beach to watch the surfers and soak up one of the prettiest beaches in SoCal.
