Absorbing the surf culture of wherever you end up is inevitable for any surfer who has ever moved. Coastal areas around the world house similar yet vibrantly different surf cultures. Because of that, you’d be hard-pressed to find two surf cultures exactly alike anywhere on the planet. The New York City/New Jersey area is largely considered to house a crossover of surf culture, especially in recent years with surfers in the area much more willing to break out of their comfort zones and travel to better facing breaks at the drop of a hat (technological advances in swell forecasting might have something to do with that, too)....

Trying to keep the beard looking good is a lot more difficult than it would seem. It isn’t just as simple as trimming it and making sure it’s combed.

And it will also make your beard look sleeker and add some depth to it....

It is hard to believe that my wife, Kim, and I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. As avid canoe trippers, it’s even more difficult to realize that nearly a decade has passed since we made our first long journey together — for our honeymoon in the summer of 2009 — on Ontario’s Missinaibi River. Turns out we made an excellent choice: The Missinaibi is an ideal river to hone wilderness tripping skills and prepare for adventures to come....

The amount of time you rest between sets can determine how quickly and efficiently you gain size and strength, and drop fat. “When it comes to working out, timing is everything,” says Joe Stankowski, C.P.T., a trainer in Wilmington, DE. “The amount of time you rest between sets can have a major impact on how the exercise you’re doing affects your body.” Rest too long and your workouts lose intensity; rest too little and you burn out too quickly....

In a perfect world, we’d all eat healthy, exercise often, drink seldom. But most of us get thrown off course. For advice on getting in a new groove, we asked a Men’s Journal reader, 30-year-old Palmer Sperry from Stamford, Connecticut, how he shed major weight and learned to love exercise.

We often associate weight loss with losing belly fat. Sometimes, when you’re trying to lose weight, the biggest challenge to adopting a weight-loss workout plan is finding a regimen that fits seamlessly into your life. Lots of guys who are trying to lose weight try absolutely absurd workout programs that require tons of specialized equipment or instruction, only to give up months later because it’s just too difficult to keep pace....

Drinking on a weeknight calls for a beverage that’s lower in alcohol content, right? Turns out, people who choose libations with lower ABV end up imbibing more than folks who go with a stronger brew, according to researchers at the University of Cambridge in England. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies They served beer and wine labeled as either superlow, low, or regular alcohol. Those who went low or superlow ended up consuming as much as 20 percent more alcohol than the regular-strength folks, probably because they thought their “healthy” choice meant they could drink more....

Few things equal the thrill of getting behind the wheel of a classic auto—especially with your gearhead father. SOME FATHERS TAKE their sons to ball games. My dad, an inveterate petrolhead—I recall him taking apart the block of his ’63 Alfa Romeo in our family room while I watched Battle of the Network Stars—took me to the drag races at Bandimere Speedway and vintage races in Steamboat Springs. The paddocks would be full of priceless cars that normally might sit in dustless garages or museums: a Ferrari Dino, the Jaguar XKE, Mercedes 300 SLs, Porsche 356, Corvette Stingray....

For Alex Simpson, there’s something inherently wrong with luxury cruise ships, equipped with spas, gourmet dining halls, and workout rooms, sailing into polar landscapes immortalized by hard-ass explorers like Shackleton, Amundsen and Scott. There’s also something horribly hypocritical about hundreds of people, paying tens of thousands of dollars, traveling aboard a greenhouse gas-spewing vessel to the ends-of-Earth ecosystems most critically imperiled by climate change. Yet Simpson also recognizes the irony of his discontent....
