Photo: Courtesy of GoFundMe A Hawaii man who was attacked by a large shark while paddleboarding off Ascension Island is alive thanks largely to the ‘heroics’ of islanders. Kawika Matsu, 37, was knocked from his board and bitten multiple times by what he believes was a great white shark. Although he was seriously injured, he climbed back onto his board and waited for help. The attack occurred on July 24, about 300 feet beyond the shore of English Bay, according to The Telegraph....

Two interesting facts about pizza: It doesn’t have to kill your abs, and it freezes surprisingly well. This buffalo chicken pizza is a prime example. Once each pie is cooked and cooled, simply wrap each in foil, place in a large zip-top bag, and freeze. When you’re ready to eat, simply defrost in the microwave 1-2 minutes, then broil on low in the oven until the edges are crisp again. It’s easier than delivery, and so much better for you....

For a spicier homemade alternative to store-bought sausage, make it yourself.

Shape into 1″ balls. Cook immediately or freeze and use later....

The Cold War cannons are long gone, though their tunnels remain—a network of catacombs bored deep into a limestone hillside on the Croatian island of Molat. They were positioned to blast intruders, likely Italian, from entering Yugoslavian waters in the northern Dalmatian Islands of the Adriatic Sea. The passage they’re guarding along the 250-mile, 1,000-island chain — one we’d soon be paddling across — is one of only a few big enough for ships to pass through; defend it and they could protect the mainland city of Zadar....

Extreme winter weather is in full force in many places across the mid and eastern United States. But parts of Europe are also experiencing some of the effects as well. Take these skiers yesterday at Silvretta Montafon in Austria who got more than they bargained for on this chairlift ride from hell.

I was visiting Alta last summer, where I’d spent the previous winter living, when I decided to hike up towards Devil’s Castle. I pitched a tent high on the teetering limestone house of cards—normally hidden from me under 500 inches of dry Wasatch snow. In the morning, I got up early to catch the sunrise emblazon the peaks in molten gold light. My serenity was abruptly halted by a party of two burning up the talus field in running vests, dragging along two-gallon water jugs....

The occupants of a jet boat told Brad Dwernychuk of the stunt they were about to pull off at Tuchodi Lakes in British Columbia, Canada, but he did not expect them to actually do it. But when the 16-foot Lynx Outlaw jet boat started building up speed and heading for the shoreline, all Dwernychuk could do was videotape the scene. The jet boat headed for the shoreline at full throttle, slid easily up the sandy shoreline, caught plenty of air and landed with a big splash into the lake on the other side, prompting cheers from those who witnessed the stunt....
