Traditional building methods and materials for standup paddleboards don’t exactly involve the lightest carbon footprint. But where eco-friendly SUPs once cost a fortune, sustainable manufacturing processes are becoming more widespread and prices for earth-friendly paddleboards are becoming more reasonable. “The entire SUP community is starting to embrace sustainability in deep way,” says Sustainable Surf programs manager Brett Giddings. “The SUP category is one of the fastest growing categories of our ECOBOARD Project program, and we’re seeing SUP brands innovate with a range of recycled and plant-based materials....
Turns out that Alex Honnold isn’t the only climber making history in Yosemite Valley this June. The legendary climber made the first free-solo ascent of the storied wall on June 3, and while he topped out without the aid of any ropes, two other climbers, Leah Pappajohn and Jonathan Fleury, made the climb sans the only thing Honnold had on him: clothes.

Somewhere in your office, your posse, maybe even your family, you know the guy. The guy who wakes up every morning to a dresser drawer laid out like the sartorial equivalent of a ’50s suburb: Rows and rows of the exact same pair of socks. Don’t be that guy.

Trials rider Fabio Wibmer is no stranger to Danny MacAskill-like bike edits. So his newest edit with Red Bull, “Fabiolous Escape 2” should come as no surprise. Albeit, it’s an incredibly intense edit which sees Wibmer shredding down the slopes of the Saalbach-Hinterglemm resort in the Austrian Alps. The staged edit gives the 22-year-old Wibmer a big stage to show off his impeccable skills – especially considering he’s on snow. He starts off by jumping out of a helicopter, which he said was the most difficult stunt of the whole video....
Men’s Fitness editors test out athletic gear all the time. But when we had the chance to test out the new Reebok CrossFit Nano 8, we figured we’d churn through box jumps, burpees, and wall ball shots alongside people who literally do CrossFit for a living: 2015-2016 CrossFit Games champion Katrín Davíðsdóttir and 2017 CrossFit Games silver medalist Brent Fikowski. More specifically, we sent two editors to complete a partner WOD to get a firsthand feel for the new shoe....

‘For All Mankind’ Trailer: Joel Kinnaman Blasts Into Space in New Apple TV+ Series Read article Kinnaman’s show already has a pulse-pounding trailer, and now The Morning Show has a first look with its new trailer. The show follows a longtime morning TV duo, Alex Levy and Mitch Kessler (played by Jennifer Anniston and Steve Carrell), who get broken up by a scandal that costs Kessler his job. To help revamp the show, a producer Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup) tries to shake things up by bringing in a reporter, Bradley Jackson (Reece Witherspoon), to take Kessler’s place....
When two creative forces come together, compromise is inevitable. To paraphrase David Lee Roth, “One guy gives up half of what he’s got to get half of what the other guy’s got, and no one ends up happy.” No one except the consumer, that is. Lennon/McCartney, DeNiro/Scorcese, Daltrey/Townshend, Roth/Van Halen—heck, if this is compromised then we’re all richer for the sacrifice made by these talented, tireless icons. That’s why we’re so excited that Huckberry watches now feature Roland Sands Designs in its lineup....

The quest for a sub-2 hour marathon (and the shoes it spawned) has grabbed quite a few headlines, but that’s far from the only record pro runners are hustling to break. Last weekend, a group of American and Japanese ultrarunners gathered to attempt another impressive feat: smash the current men’s and women’s 100K records (roughly 62 miles). Although they weren’t able to crack those two records, one athlete, American ultrarunner Jim Walmsley, managed to break a different one....
