New Years Resolutions

This year, don’t make it so easy to disappoint yourself. Below, a few highly achievable resolutions and how to carry them out in 2014.

I would prefer not to sit on my ass.

Is your ass best described as a gluteus pancake-ius? We suggest outdoor treks with California Survival Training and these futuristic tents by Heimplanet.

I want to surf, like, every day.

Step one: we’ve got a recommended list of suits for the dips and rises in temp. Step two: track your wave days with ActiveReplay, which monitors your speed and hang-time.

I don’t want to eat things that have faces.

You and HOVA both. The three spots we suggest you visit in 2014: M.A.K.E., Crossroads and Clover Juice. Healthy and delicious grub, all.

I want to ride motorcycles.

You need to meet the fellas at The Roadery, organizers of wind-whippingly delicious drives through L.A. and all along the One. Beforehand, visit either Aether or Deus Ex Machina for some badass road gear.

I want everyone to come to my house.

Kitchensurfing brings local chefs to your home to cook for you and your friends. While that’s going down, step up your bartending game with InsideHook’s Cocktail Quarterly, recipes from our nation’s best mixologists. Don’t be shy on the mezcal.
