By Tyler Callaway Standup paddling has been very good to me over the years. I enjoy the hell out it, especially when it comes to surfing. It’s been a fantastic journey and it just keeps getting better. For the majority of my life, surfing has been my life. As a co-founder of one of the first and biggest manufacturers of removable surfboard fins, over the years I’ve had a chance to work with many of the greatest surfboard builders and watermen in the world....

The next time you’re mulling over your options at the coffee shop, order the espresso over drip. A study from Japan found two compounds in coffee, kahweol acetate and cafestol, may slow prostate cancer tumor growth by half.

Piling on the grapes and berries could help you lose weight, says a new study in the International Journal of Obesity. In it, mice that ate the equivalent of 12 ounces of fruit a day (two to three human servings) gained 40% less weight than those that didn’t. In layman’s terms, it works like this: Resveratrol—an antioxidant found in most fruit—screams “Hurry!” to your body, kicking its ass and telling it to speed up its conversion of white (“bad”) fat into calorie-burning brown (“good”) fat....

Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, and Jennifer Lawrence have all tried their hand at being assassins recently. So why not Joaquin Phoenix? Be warned, this trailer isn’t for the squeamish: The film is directed by Lynne Ramsay, who also did the incredibly unsettling We Need to Talk About Kevin. Reviewers at Cannes compared the film favorably to critical darlings like Taxi Driver and Logan, so this is definitely one to keep an eye on....

Most of us have great memories of our first music festivals years ago: piling in the car with a bunch of friends, singing along to your favorite bands, people watching all day, and maybe sharing burritos in the grass with that cute girl or guy. You didn’t mind the dust, the mud or the heat rash. Courtesy of LJ Hepp But things were a bit different in those days. Back then, there was no such thing as a “water station,” and bottles weren’t even allowed into most venues....

The new film Terminator: Dark Fate had some of the most incredible action scenes of the year. From the massive gunfight with Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor on the bridge to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 battle with Gabriel Luna’s new Rev-9 model, there was something impressive in every set piece. Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks ‘Dark Fate,’ Motorcycle Rides With James Cameron, and Returning to ‘Terminator’ Read article Director Tim Miller did a lot of preparation to create the action sequences, using pre-visualization, motion capture work, and lots of rehearsal time to get them right....

Tokyo is a bucket-list destination—like Paris or Rio or Iceland—and it seems so otherworldly from our quadrant of the globe. On one hand, it’s got all these long-standing traditions. Of course you want to encounter shrines, sumo wrestlers, and geishas, but slow your roll. Don’t turn it into a check-list trip. On the other, Japan seems so futuristic. We regard the country for its technological advancements, like the compact disc or the bullet train, and our vision of Tokyo is that of a towering, sprawling, glowing, pulsing dreamscape: LED animations march across skyscrapers; teenage girls dress up like Anime characters; you can pet owls and hedgehogs in numerous cafes across town; and it’s like your expectations are a hybrid of Lost in Translation and an alternate version of Blade Runner....

With the preliminary invites sent out this week, this year’s Winter Dew Tour is set to host over 100 athletes at Copper Mountain. Past Dew Tour competitors including Stale Sandbech, Anna Gasser, Alexander Ferreira, and Kelly Sildaru will be among the first to receive their invites, as well as plenty of others who have made waves in the contest circuit last season. The Dew Tour’s highly anticipated new location is quickly shaping up to be a progressive competition space for the skiers and riders, not to mention the prime viewing areas and activations that will be available for spectators....

Adam Levine has cleared the furniture out of his living room and basically installed an Equinox. Two personal trainers wait for him inside, armed with kettlebells, bouncy exercise balls, and enough Cybex machines to wear out a professional football team. Levine bounds into the room and starts to stretch a hamstring. “I like the way I look when I work out,” he says. “I’m not doing it to be vain—though that’s part of it....

When the Ghostbusters reboot came out about a year ago, plenty of angry men who rankled at the idea of four women taking over spots traditionally held by male paranormal investigators insisted that it was not the female-centric approach to the movie that bothered them, but rather the creative laziness in making an all-lady Ghostbusters. But while truly inventive franchise plays are few and far between, gender-flipped remakes at least make a novel form of restitution....

Most novice lifters follow the “more is better” philosophy in an attempt to build quick muscle. But doing umpteen exercises at the gym is a recipe for burnout and, worse yet, injury. Instead, learn to lift smarter with elevator reps, a training technique that focuses on prolonged time under tension instead of hitting every machine at the sports club.

The production of standup paddleboards took a major step towards going green with Southern California-based Earth Technologies recently announcing a switch to zero production waste. Founder Ryan Harris is the man behind the move and has spent the past seven years at the forefront of the eco-movement in surf and SUP production. But his story didn’t start out how you might expect. Ryan Harris’ dream was to become a shoe designer....

John Hodgman didn’t know what to do after he ended the world he created in his third book of made-up knowledge, That Is All. “I panicked,” says the one-time The Daily Show contributor. But he took the advice of comedian Mike Birbiglia, booked a weekly spot to perform at Union Hall in Brooklyn and decided to see what would happen. It got a little weird. “I definitely was doing a pretty hot impersonation of Ayn Rand for a while,” Hodgman says....

Conventional wisdom says that a drink or two after work isn’t bad for you—and might actually help you live longer and keep your heart healthy. But the reality is that the long-term health effects of alcohol are hard to tease out, and there’s lots of conflicting evidence. As more people opt in for dry January and explore alternatives to that glass of wine or weekend cocktail, evidence is emerging that alcohol might not be so great for the body....

Every spring, Yellowstone National Park (the world’s first national park), clears approximately 320 miles of park roads in preparation for the many thousands of people that will soon visit. These roads are covered with snow and ice and aren’t regularly plowed during the winter, so it is a massive undertaking. Yellowstone’s snowpack this winter season of 2017-18 has been average at some parts to well-above average at others. At some elevations in the park, the snowpack was almost double the normal snowfall....
