Drop in on International Surfing Day

For International Surfing Day we’re in Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands, to catch some waves. Look on the left side of our photo and you’ll see a surfer jockeying for the right spot on that wave. If you can’t get out and celebrate this day by riding a swell, perhaps it’s time for a surf movie or some surf music? There’s a whole culture around the sport that doesn’t even require your getting wet.
