Chill Out at the Costa Mesa Surf Shop

After an exhilarating morning, head over to Almond Surfboards in Costa Mesa, just a short drive away, for a pop-up celebration that runs from noon until 2 p.m. This gathering is more than just a post-surf snack; it’s a local festivity packed with complimentary delights including coffee, delicious açaí bowls, and, of course, samples of Perfect Bar.

The laid-back vibe resonates throughout the store, with music in the background and families mingling, creating a relaxed community atmosphere that feels quintessentially Orange County. Activities for kids will keep everyone entertained, providing the perfect backdrop for creating family memories.

Exciting Giveaways Await!

But wait, there’s more! Participate in the big giveaway where two lucky families will each win a custom, co-designed surfboard. This isn’t just a chance for the kids to get a brand-new board; it’s about creating lasting memories on family surf days to come. Wouldn’t it be incredible to shred the waves together as a family?

Be sure to follow Perfect Bar on social media, as they’ll also be giving away another pair of boards to families who engage online. This event is an exciting opportunity to deepen your connection to the surf culture right here in Orange County.

Plan Your Family’s Wave Riding Day

Here are a few tips for making the most of your Father’s Day surf experience:

• Parking: Both locations will have ample nearby parking, but arrive early if you can! The beach parking in Newport can fill up quickly, particularly on sunny weekends.
• What to Bring: Make sure to pack sunscreen, water bottles, and a beach blanket. Perhaps throw in some beach toys to keep the little ones entertained between surf sessions.
• Nearby Adventure: After the surf and fun at the Costa Mesa shop, explore the nearby Costa Mesa Design District for a delightful mix of shopping and dining. Grab lunch at one of the local eateries or treat yourselves to a sweet dessert before heading home.

Embrace the Local Vibe

This Father’s Day is not just about surfing; it’s about forging connections with family and community in a genuine way. The partnership between Perfect Bar and Almond Surfboards feels less corporate and more like an open invitation to enjoy what makes Orange County special—the warmth of the sun, the thrill of the waves, and the bonds we create along the way.

So, whether you’re a dad looking to make memories, a mom seeking a fun day out for the family, or even a grandparent wanting to join the fun, this event is tailor-made for everyone. There’s no better way to celebrate Father’s Day than with a day at the beach, making unforgettable moments with the ones you love.

Let’s catch those waves and create meaningful memories this June 20th—thanks to Perfect Bar and Almond Surfboards, the Father’s Day of your dreams awaits!
