The all-new Land Rover Discovery is currently on display in Venice, California.

Ahead of being on display at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show, the luxury SUV is on display for the first time in the U.S. on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California from November 11 to November 14. The Discovery Venice popup opened to the public with surfer Laird Hamilton and wife Gabby Reece, champion volleyball player and fitness leader, on hand to help open the activation.

Along with being able to check out the Land Rover Discovery, attendees can view a curated selection of premium activity gear, try out interactive training experiences and state-of-the-art fitness technologies with virtual reality.
