Yeah I don't know where you will live in Delaware, but Dogfish Head in Milton is awesome. Short tour with a free tasting at the end. Also their pub in Rehobath is a great place to get more beer and good food.
I could get surfing lessons from my Aunt ...I think she was ranked 3rd in the world back in the day. But yeah...I wouldn't mind learning how to surf...I'm surprised I haven't yet.
