Leighton Meester and husband Adam Brody beat the heat with an early morning surf session in Los Angeles

Leighton Meester and her husband Adam Brody found a clever way to beat the heat on Friday morning as they hit the beach to catch some waves in Los Angeles.

While enjoying an early morning surf session, the Gossip Girl actress, 36, was seen rocking a yellow patterned rashguard under a black, figure-hugging wetsuit.

She completed her look with a white floppy hat with a wide brim over her trademark brunette hair to protect her from the sun.

Her 42-year-old husband, known for his breakthrough role as Seth Cohen on Fox’s TV series The O.C., showed off his muscular physique in just a pair of swim shorts and open jacket.

The lovebirds both looked like pros on their surfboards as they successfully stood on their surf boards and rode several waves before returning to shore and rinsing off at an outdoor shower. 

Meester got her first taste of surfing with the encouragement of Brody about three-and-a-half years ago and they’re often spotted catching waves along the Southern California coast.

In an interview with Shape in March 2019, Meester revealed surfing has become sort of ‘a spiritual experience’ for her and that she finds it to be ‘so fulfilling.’

Meester and Brody share a one-year-old son and a six-year-old daughter named Arlo Day Brody.

Arlo was born about 18-months after the couple got married in a private ceremony in 2014.
