It's a tall, dark and handsome buoy... it's James Bond walking on water... it's Pierce Brosnan stand-up paddle surfing! SUP, you ask? Not much, except that SUP (stand-up paddling) has become quite the global rage -- 007 himself is a huge fan of the sport. That's why we're catching today's monster deal, which will have you hanging ten, nay, 50% off -- get SUP lessons and a scenic hour-long tour of Lake Washington for a mere $25 with Northwest Paddle Surfers (a $50 value). After receiving expert instruction from some of the pioneers of the sport, you'll take to the water. While paddling through Mercer Slough, Seward Park, or one of several other Seattle-area water trails, you're bound to be joined by some turtles and otters. You better get on board with this awesome deal before it waves goodbye.

Nearly 200 years ago, brave pioneers trekked west aboard covered wagons, seeking fortune and a homestead plot to farm and raise their families. Nowadays, many of Seattle's most coveted plots adorn Lake Washington and their inhabitants kayak to the market to peruse farm-fresh arugula. Today's adventure takes you aboard Waterways Cruises for their two-hour Homes and History Cruise Tour for just $18 -- a $40 value. Whether you are a fourth-generation Seattleite or you recently crossed the Wenatchee, reserve your spot aboard a luxurious yacht as you marvel at the waterfront mansions of the rich and famous, and learn some fascinating facts about Seattle's history and culture along the way. So if you aspire to join the fortunate few, this deal is sure to make a splash.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a sailing trip... It starts from the Lake Union port, aboard a steam-powered paddle wheeler.

The cruise is anything but rough, no fears of getting tossed. And if not for today's great deal, you wouldn't get 50% off the cost. Fortunately a jaunt on these steam-powered paddle wheelers won't leave you stranded on a desert island, but you can take in your city from a new perspective. Although we doubt anyone would complain about being a ship with Ginger or The Professor.

You've got to love an ice cream franchise started by two people from Tempe, Arizona -- a city that regularly hits 110 degrees. Though Donald and Susan Sutherland could have made a living selling chunks of ice off the street, instead they opened the first Cold Stone Creamery, vending ice cream and toppings mixed on a frozen granite stone. Today, with 3,700 stores and counting, Cold Stone is a household name. With today's deal, $10 gets you $20 worth of ice cream, shakes, or cakes at its Fremont outpost. Go for a "signature creation" or come up with your own. Now don't hurry too fast -- we wouldn't want to be responsible for your brain freeze.
