“Bike riding on the oceanfront boardwalk. It’s just really relaxing;

it’s a great view; it’s a real fun ride.”

Jim Fournier, owner Tales of Balboa

“I think either swimming in the surf or sailboat riding. Those two

things I like very much.”

Bill Grundy, president of the Newport Beach Historical Society

“Duffy boat rental from Balboa Boat Rentals. We do it when we have

out-of-town guests because we don’t own a Duffy. It’s a great way to

see the harbor. You can do a wine and cheese type thing.”

Brett Hemphill, owner of Hemphill’s Rugs and a member of the

Commodore’s Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce

“It’s got to be a sunset cruise with your favorite person or

persons, with munchies and refreshments. For me, I think it’s sailing

in the summer series -- the beer can regattas. It’s just so wonderful

to be able to sneak out of work early and sail to a club or

restaurant for dinner.”

Ralph Rodheim, owner of Rodheim Marketing, which publicizes the

Newport to Ensenada yacht race
