In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, as our nation ransacks super markets and liquor stores like the most obese country in the world should, the Internet is buzzing with obscene consumption facts.

Traveling across the world in hopes of scoring empty waves in the Arctic requires many things: patience, job flexibility, the thickest wetsuits available to surf and the mental fortitude to deal with things like white-out storms, bears, and the possibility of getting skunked. If you’ve ventured into frigid locales in search of waves, you might be well aware of the fact that cold-water surfing – I mean like, dodging ice chunks in the lineup cold-water surfing – is not for everyone....

Current members and club honorees include some pretty high profile names like Elon Musk, James Cameron, and Jeff Bezos.

You can climb Everest, or scuba dive with sharks, or hang out in New Guinea with a bunch of tribespeople and it’s a lot of fun, but in and of itself that is not exploration....

Justin Fornal, a filmmaker, writer, and explorer known for his expeditions across the globe, led a trio of comrades on an eight-day swim around the Scottish island of Islay, which produces some of the world’s finest whiskies.

To paraphrase a wise man, cash rules. Everything in life is channeled through the lens of economics. You don’t want to overshoot your budget by buying something new that is too expensive. This is why autumn and holiday sales are so enticing. The prices are so great. But it can be a little too great, so you gotta make sure you don’t go too hard and overspend. It can be easy to overspend when you see the prices over at Macy’s right now....

Paige Alms‘ dream of being a pro surfer started at age 13. But she’s gone through an evolutionary process with how she identifies with those goals today. “In my early 20s I was burnt out on professional contests, and I was really questioning my direction,” Alms admits in a new short film, “Collaging the Line” alongside fellow surfers and creatives Jaysea Devoe and Cori Barnick, and artist Susan Wickstrand.

Al Widing Sr. was the type of guy who bristled when people called him tough. “‘Tough’ is meat you can’t chew,” Widing, who was ironically a lifelong vegetarian, once told a reporter. The retired contractor also recoiled at the adulation he garnered for his enduring passion for marathon canoe racing. “We call him ‘Amazing Al’, but he hasn’t embraced the nickname,” said Ryan Matthews, a volunteer organizer of Michigan’s 120-mile AuSable Canoe Marathon, in which Widing raced an astounding 41 times, in a 2013 interview....

Standup paddling is all fun and games, until it’s not. The water–whether ocean, river, lake or pond–can be a dangerous place and always deserves respect.

Running twin Axiom Pro units at his console and one on his bow, Lester caught most of his fish over shoals — high spots or rock outcroppings in the river — that were anywhere from 25 to 40 feet....

Just like wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, the Pittsburgh Steelers had no time for Mia Khalifa.

The team responded to Khalifa after she wrote to the the Steelers that “I am the least of your issues.” I am the least of your issues @steelers — Mia K....
