When standup paddling burst onto the surf scene over a decade ago, it allowed paddlers to catch more waves and get longer rides. Nowadays, SUP foiling seems to be taking over as the craft that allows for maximum wave riding time. In this clip, paddlers riding SUP foils enjoy seemingly endless rides at an undisclosed break in Australia. While the waves are fairly small, the paddlers maintain solid speed thanks to the foils and ride some of them for nearly a kilometer....
Everyone knows Salty Jefferson. Every paddler has heard the tales of ol’ Salty, or at least versions of them. The stories are the stuff of legends — the type that circulates around the campfire. Stories born of bad choices. And bad choices Salty has made. If there was ever a chance to make an errant call that results in serious consequence, Salty has erred. Again and again. And again. He has lived to tell us these tales (though his questionable paddling partners are not so lucky), for he has learned every kind of paddling lesson … the hard way....
Over the past year at GrindTV, we’ve reported on an array of unique items in the action and outdoor space that you can spend your money on — like this $39,000 bicycle that isn’t meant to be ridden on public roads or this $50,000 pair of gold-plated skis. And to that end we felt it only right to let you the reader know that, right now, you could be the proud owner of your very own bicycle “wall of death” via an eBay auction....
The fitness tracker market isn’t the same as it was a year ago. Jawbone, once one of the most popular companies in the industry, has since left the consumer space, and now Under Armour has decided to stop production of new consumer wearables as well. The news comes as Under Armour has posted its first quarterly loss in over a decade. CEO Kevin Plank admitted that “operational challenges and lower demand in North America resulted in third quarter revenue that was below our expectations....
There are plenty of ways to look more powerful—and most of them begin in the gym or the kitchen. You can develop stronger, more powerful muscles by following certain nutrition rules, and you can incorporate our ultimate total-body workout to build maximum muscle into your regular routine to get started. But those things take time to see results. And while we don’t believe in quick fixes, there is one easy (though not necessarily cheap) way to instantly look more powerful—at least in the minds of a lot of guys: Shopping for stuff with a broad or wide design—like a watch with a large face, or a car with a wider hood, according to a new University of Kansas study published in the Journal of Conusmer Research....

This article originally appeared on Bikemag.com and was republished with permission. What our sport needs more than anything is to grow. Trail access issues might not even be issues if every land manager and their daughter or son, husband or wife were an avid mountain biker. And each city would have a bottomless trail-building budget if enough of its citizens demanded it. And speaking of budget, if riding were half as popular as superhero movies or video games, economy of scale would predict that bike prices would go down....
As the entire planet has essentially shut down during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many businesses are shuttering, forced to close their doors in hopes of riding this whole thing out. However, one bit of silver lining is that many businesses are shifting gears to adapt to the situation. Some of these companies are using their resources to produce products that are in short supply for the astronomical demand. And it’s no secret that the medical community is in dire need of instrumental supplies—particularly medical masks....
By Eric Adsit Perfect flows and unusually warm temperatures are forecast for New York’s final whitewater festival of the season, Moosefest. Based in Old Forge, N.Y., the festival coincides with the annual drawdown of the Fulton Chain of Lakes, guaranteeing navigable water levels on three stretches of the Moose River even during drought conditions. Recent rains in northern New York have brought base flows up, meaning the Class II-III+ Middle, and Class V Bottom sections will be at a perfect medium once the releases start....

Not long ago, photos on social media started popping up about a “grid” challenge. The pictures were being shared by Caet Cash, a hiking guide, van lifer and accomplished long-distance backpacker who has completed thru-hikes of both the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. After spending some time on Cash’s Instagram feed and seeing photographs of her at various stages of exhaustion and exhilaration (often both), as well as reading the detailed captions of her adventures, we decided to catch up with Cash and learn a little more about gridding....

For the first time ever, trail runners can race The Hahnenkamm, an extreme Austrian ski slope considered to be the planet’s most insane downhill off-road descent. “If you’re someone who loves any hair-raising, adrenaline-pumping activity involving pushing yourself outside your comfort zone then this is right up your street (or down your ski-slope!),” British World Mountain Running team member Heidi Davies, 20, told ASN. The inov-8 Descent Race, Oct. 6, 2018, will span just 350 meters but at an 80-percent gradient....

Thanks to classics like Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, The Hustler, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Paul Newman was unquestionably one of Hollywood’s most badass actors. With Newman’s reputation, it’s not a surprise that one of his watches became one of the most highly sought-after accessories in the world after it was announced in June that his “Daytona” Rolex would be auctioned off. But even the most devoted Newman fans might have to collect their jaws off the floor over this watch’s record-setting price....
