Meester has become a regular at various Los Angeles-area surf spots, and during an interview with Shape, she credited her husband, Adam Brody, to introducing her to the sport.
During the piece, the actress noted that she has turned her passion for the boardsport into a workout routine and that the activity has done wonders for her self-esteem.
‘Surfing has pretty much been my main form of exercise. I have found that when I don’t have a physical result in mind when I’m exercising-it’s not just about getting sore or getting abs or burning fat-I feel much more confident,’ she said.
‘I’m working on a skill, and that is so fulfilling to me. Plus, being in the ocean is such a spiritual experience that you forget you’re getting a real workout,’ the actress added.
