Buster Posey knows how to deal with pressure.

Pointe de la Torche is a mythical tip of Finistère, France that can offer some pretty decent surf. It sticks its skinny self out into the Atlantic Ocean and hopes that the just-further-south Saint-Pierre Light doesn’t shadow of the swell. Filmmaker Hugo Manhes spent three months planning a surf film shoot at the famed mystical wave. And one evening everything came together to sacrifice a surfboard, plant 120,000 watts of neon lights onto the beach and get surfers Ian Fontaine and Gaspard Larsonneur to paddle out to be part of one of the most creative surf edits we’ve seen in quite some time....

They say never go to bed angry, but the better advice may be to have your row at breakfast—you’ll be more prepared to deal with stress. Researchers from Japan say the body is primed to produce more cortisol in the morning. The hormone is energizing; it’s part of the fight-or-flight response. Rather than stressing you out, it may help you stay level-headed amid frustration (traffic jam; spat with a spouse).
