Hump This

Go: 25% off Tranquility Bay, Belize

TB's giving you a quarter off beachfront cabanas on Ambergris Caye, with daily breakfast, plus unlimited use of kayaks and snorkeling gear (it's 100 yards to the second-largest barrier reef in the world); you can also hire a guide for more serious diving and fishing, including bonefish, permit, and tarpon. As for grub, the Tackle Box Sea Bar (with patio/dock seating) rocks conch ceviche, jumbo shrimp sauteed in a spicy coconut chili sauce, and surf & turf of Belize lobster paired with steak from Nebraska, an unlikely pairing outside a Spring Break foam party.

Ride: Meyerhoffer Surfboard

Available at South Beach Dive & Surf: 850 Washington Ave, South Beach; 305. 673.5900

From a surf-obsessed industrial designer who's worked for Apple, Porsche, and Nike, this new hourglass longboard design (which comes in models 7'6" to 9'6") allows shortboard maneuverability while riding the middle, and grips the wave with an extra-long tail, once again turning the tide on the mullet.

Go to SurfIndustries.com for clips of the board in action and to watch the designer talk shop.

Change is Good: News Lounge Menu

5588 NE 4th Ct, Miami; 305.758.9932

News Lounge keeps its shadowy, palm-laden vibe but jacks up the menu with apps like Parma prosciutto w/ fresh mozz and basil, duck liver pate w/ Brie, and tuna tartare w/ Dijon lemon dressing, plus sandwiches like Angus sliders w/ smoked cheddar, bacon and chipotle mayo, and the “Victoria Station” w/ carpaccio, arugula, shaved Parm, and pesto sauce served on beer bread, a gateway bread that'll soon have you downing scotch loaves.
