Self staffer Maura Corrigan hit the beach for a Yoga class and surf lesson. Here she shares her tales:

I love the summer in New York. I just can't get enough of it. And for the past three years, part of that summer love has had to do with my attempts at surfing. But between work, travel, other obligations, and the New York coast's not-always-great summer swell (and my aptitude for pretty much nothing above 4 feet), I'm lucky if I hit decent waves once a week. "Try" is still the operative word I use to describe my surfing--it's a long, patience-demanding learning curve. So when Self's fitness department got an invitation for a beachside yoga class/surf lesson combo, courtesy of Liquid Yoga and Surf I jumped at the chance to check it out!
