Rumors of a new wave pool to be constructed on Oahu’s west side have been circulating for months. It turns out those rumors are grounded in reality, as just this week the Hawaii Community Development Authority announced they’re allowing big-wave surfer/Hawaiian legend Brian Keaulana (a partner in HK Management) to look into developing 19-acres of vacant state land in Kalaeloa, on Oahu’s west side. If the project gets the go-ahead, it will include a 5-acre wave pool, as well as a “lazy river, skate park, buildings and more....

A green smoothie can be intimidating: They look like they’ll taste, well, bad. Thing is, veggie-heavy shakes don’t have to taste like you’re sucking on a stalk of broccoli. They’re also great for you. “Spinach and kale are easy to add for fresh choices,” says Kelly LeVeque holistic nutritionist, wellness expert, and celebrity health coach. 11 Green Foods for Every Dude’s Diet Read article The more bitter the greens are, the more phytochemicals they have—which means they’re especially nutrient-dense....

Renowned UFC star Jon Jones has allegedly tested positive for a banned substance. Less than one month following his third-round stoppage of Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 in Anaheim, CA, to reclaim the light heavyweight crown, reports are circulating that Jones failed a pre-fight drug test. First reported by TMZ and tweeted by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Jones allegedly tested positive for the anabolic steroid Turinabol. The sample was collected by the United States Anti-Doping Agency the night before the fight, which took place on July 29....

The unique mix of exotic flavors and spices (courtesy of the Lustau East India Sherry and black tea-infused Amaro Montenegro) in this cocktail, crafted by Jonathan Shock in New Orleans, were inspired by the southern city’s diverse and eclectic culture. But it’s National Scotch Day, and when it comes down to it, this enlightened boozy beverage is all about spirit. The spirit being Auchentoshan’s American Oak Single-Malt Scotch Whisky, which has notes of sweet spice and hints of candied orange peel that shine in this deliciously complex cocktail....

After being turned down by four drama schools, Welsh teen Taron Egerton cooled his heels working at a clothing store for eight months, wondering where life would take him. “There was a point where I thought about being an English teacher,” he recalls. “But I probably would have been really bad at that.” Nine years later, it’s safe to say the 27-year-old won’t be explaining iambic pentameter or counting heads in homeroom anytime soon....

The heat of the day has subsided. The sailboats that sit in Carlisle Bay slowly become floating silhouettes. A breeze blows offshore across the water as it turns orange. We have a pile of thick, fresh tuna steaks that were just cooked (as rare as possible) and batch of Sriracha mayo. We’re sitting on this old concrete wall 2 feet above the fine powdery sand. There’s distant music coming from scratchy speakers across the parking lot....

Words by Rebecca Parsons Paddlers know plastic is bad for the ocean. But far fewer know exactly what makes it so destructive. Plastic was invented in 1907 and while it was once considered the greatest invention of the human race, it has quickly become one of our greatest problems. Plastic is derived from petroleum, a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons that is extremely difficult to break down. In general, plastics take anywhere from 450-1000 years to decompose, meaning that every single piece of plastic ever created is still in existence today....

Photo: Chuck Patterson The Perfect GoPro Shot with Chuck Patterson Chuck Patterson is famous for many things: being the first Battle of the Paddle winner, surfing massive waves, skiing off cliffs and winning the SUP magazine Lifetime Achievement Award. But the one thing the GoPro-sponsored athlete might be known best for is his constant and impressive use of the most ubiquitous action camera out there. Here, he gives us the pointers he uses for getting the best selfies in the sport....

It’s a heck of a week in the continental U.S. Chicago’s public schools are closing so little kids don’t turn to popsicles. South Florida had record low temps on Monday. Thursday is forecasted to see a high of 12 degrees in Bismark, North Dakota, which will feel like relief considering that Wednesday’s high might be -10 degrees Fahrenheit (with a low of -17 degrees for those scoring at home.) The weather aint pretty....

A idyllic night in a tent with a significant other has long been a romantic fallacy, at least until recently. Large tents have been around, well, pretty much forever. Conducive sleeping bags, on the other hand, have not. For years the camping community has resigned itself to spooning in adjacent sleeping bags, wishing there was a better way. Plenty of space for two. That changed with the emergence of double sleeping bags in the couple few years....

The good news is that it’s extremely unlikely that you’ll be bitten by a shark, especially unprovoked. But, hey, if you’re at a beach that is frequented by sharks, it’s good to be on the safe side.

The locally designed brand, Bilda Bike, in its natural habitat. Charleston is located on the coast of South Carolina and is part of a region that’s known as the “Low Country.” It’s the oldest city in the state and is home to not only some great cycling but some incredible places to grab a bite (and a beer). What it lacks in hills, it more than makes up for in scenery and personality....

Coffee is already a wondrous elixir capable of inspiring modern humans to move forward each day, whether that menas tapping keyboards, digging ditches, and hauling ourselves to the gym. So it’s no surprise, then, that coffee has become become a researcher’s dream. Study after study has shown that coffee is full of antioxidants, minerals, and other compounds that can benefit our health while keeping us alert and on top of our work....

Here’s some advice from a former professional runner. If you are too fat to fit in your dress shirts, only button the top button, then wear a baggy sweater over everything. It looks acceptable for a business casual office job, but you won’t have fabric squeezing against your gelatinous belly. It’s not a trick Colin McCourt ever thought he’d have to learn. He used to have a six-pack, run 50 miles a week, and compete at the world’s largest indoor and outdoor track competitions....

The York Factory Express holds a special place in the annals of the North American fur trade. The 2,600-mile run from the Pacific Coast to Hudson Bay was one of the most challenging routes of the voyageur era, and the men chosen for the Express Brigades were among the best. With all respect to modern athletes and expedition paddlers, those guys were tougher and more resourceful than just about anyone alive today....

SALIDA, CO — The origin story of Colorado’s original standup paddle board company — Badfish SUP — is adding another chapter. Call it a rebirth. Call it a renaissance. Or, as company co-founder Mike Harvey likes to call it, a “re-independenting.” While the expression may not exactly roll off the tongue, it’s the perfect description of the originally independent and always inventive surf and SUP company’s return to its riverside roots....

It doesn’t matter which political party is in charge — farmers always seem to get the short end of the stick. The people that provide our wheat, dairy, vegetables, and so many of our daily necessities live difficult lives just by nature of the job. But from government interference to corporatization of our nation’s farmlands, most small, family-owned farms have to fight to survive. Situated somewhere between James Agee’s Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and any Bruce Springsteen song about people just trying to get by, Ted Genoways spent a year observing exactly what a farmer has to do to stay in business....
