  1. Stand Up Paddling (SUP)-If you have yet to try SUP then you are in for a real treat.

Don't worry about a big investment as there are lots of great places right here on Topsail Island to take lessons and rent the requisite equipment. 
  2. Yoga-this age-old exercise is great for people of all ages. Requiring almost no equipment it is the perfect activity to get you moving, improving your strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. It is also perfect for the beach.
  3. Reading-Pick up a book this year and exercise your noggin.  Reading increases mental acuity reduces stress and improves memory. Looking for a great book check our previous post: The Best Authors From Topsail Island You Should Be Reading.
  4. Dancing- This year is the year to get those hips swaying and toes tapping. Take some time to dance the nights away this year. Of course, we are partial to the Carolina Shag and great beach music but hey...who can blame us. 
  5. Kayaking-Besides the obvious health benefits a day of paddling offers there is also the added advantage of being able to explore the waterways of Topsail Island in an up close and intimate way that no other form of watercraft allows you to do. 
  6. Surfing- You're never too young or old to learn to hang-ten, and with so many surf schools on Topsail Island, there's no excuse not to rent a board and sing up for a lesson today.
