🌊 Friday Deal: Surf + Sip in Deep Ellum
Goodsurf Beach Club
Ever thought about catching a wave without leaving Dallas? 🌴
GoodSurf (right in Deep Ellum) has you covered: today you get 20% off surf sessions or pickleball games — but only if you walk in. That’s a whole lotta fun for a little less 💸.
Grab a board, rally your crew, and don’t worry if you’re more “pickleball curious” than pro — they’ve got food, drinks, and a rooftop hangout that make it worth the trip either way.
