With our partners at Beyond

The best possible use of a tired afternoon.

Beyond is a martial arts gym in Peniche, run by people we know and train with. You get a jiu-jitsu session, then their recovery room — sauna, then cold plunge — and an açaí when you are done. Two to three hours, start to finish.

Jiu-jitsu and surfing go together better than most people expect. Both are about staying calm when you are somewhere uncomfortable, breathing when your instinct says not to, and using leverage instead of strength. A morning of getting held under by whitewater and an afternoon on the mats teach the same lesson from two directions.

It also happens to be the thing groups enjoy most. Families do it together, friends turn it into a competition, and everyone ends up in the sauna afterwards arguing about who won.

Sauna, then cold plunge

The recovery room.

After the mats you have their recovery room to yourself: heat first, then the plunge, then heat again if you want it. It is the single best thing you can do for shoulders that have been paddling all week — and the reason people who try it once ask to go back before the week ends.
