Before ocean surfing, thrill seekers were forced to sneak onto a rock-concert stage and leap board-first onto waves of angry humans. Ride waves that can’t punch you in the head in retaliation with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a one-day rental of a surfboard, skim board, or boogie board, plus gear, at Cleanline Surf Shop (up to a $45 value). This deal is good for either location in Seaside or Cannon Beach. This Groupon expires June 21, 2011.

Expertly equipping warriors of the waves, wheels, and wind, Cleanline Surf Shop stocks a sizeable and acclaimed assortment of water-sport boards, skateboards, apparel, and more. On a streamlined surfboard by brands such as Surftech, Global Surf Industries, and Firewire, seasoned surfers and burgeoning barrellers alike can take to the world’s wave pool to hear its salty tales of life, tides, and bawdy affairs with all five of the Great Lakes. Beachside bounders can opt for a fast-moving skim board to gracefully glide over low tides and unsuspecting sea stars, and breaker buffs can conquer the water on a body-buoying boogie board. Each package comes with all necessary gear, including boots, gloves, and a hood for guarding excitable extremities. Included wax keeps sailing feet sticky, and straps keep boards nearby. Guests will also be geared up with an insulating wetsuit to protect them from the algid ocean and its frigid sideways glances.
