Each professional surfer’s career journey has a starting point. However, for surfer, model and environmental activist Pacha Light, her entry to the sport was more memorable than most. Back in 2011, aged just 9, Light asked for a surfboard, but was told by her mom that they were too expensive. Taking the problem into her own hands — or feet — Light decided to hit the streets of her hometown of Coolangatta, Queensland, with a CD player, a hat and a sign that read “busking for a board....
Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and while it’s know for its crabcakes, die hard Ravens fans and love of Natty Boh beer, it’s also no stranger to outdoor adventures. If you ask a local where you should lace up to get in a few miles, most of them will probably point you toward the Inner Harbor and its waterfront views. While we also recommend Inner Harbor as a Baltimore classic, but there are several more options to choose from than you might realize (especially if your only point of reference is The Wire)....

I am suspended in absolute darkness—one so complete that when I raise my arm, I see absolutely nothing, not even a suggestion of an outline where my arm might be. I let my hand drop back to my side.

If men have life insurance at all, chances are it’s for minimal coverage through an employer. In the event of a catastrophe, chances are your loved ones will get a nominal payout, barely enough to cover funeral services....

Shorten rest periods Progressively shaving seconds off your rest period can help to raise your metabolism. Just don’t go too low, warns Joe Stankowski, C.P.T., a trainer in Grand Rapids, MI. “You need a minimum of 30 seconds’ rest or you risk burning out,” he says. The one exception: circuit training, which requires no rest between sets. Train the entire body If you’ve been following a split routine—upper-body exercises one day, lower-body ones the next—condense both into one day....

The deafening buzzing of thousands of deadly hornets was captured in video footage from an exterminator in Louisiana who was called upon to remove what he described as “the granddaddy of a hornet’s nest.” Jude Verret of Stinger Creations wrote in his YouTube posts that he’s done some hornet’s nests as big but that “this was the best video I have done.” At one point, Verret can be heard saying in the video, “I’m not usually scared, but uh…” The rest of his sentence was drowned out by the loud buzzing....

STORY AND PHOTOS BY CHUCK GRAHAM I was having a tough time judging the angle that the freighter was taking in the northbound shipping lane in the Santa Barbara Channel. Paddling my kayak, I was sitting low on the water in no-man’s land. I blamed my predicament on the four, tail-flucking humpback whales spouting 50 yards off my bow, a fine distraction indeed. However, I had to ask myself, “Do I sprint ahead hoping to see the freighter’s massive bow way over my left shoulder, or do I play it safe and back-paddle northeast out of harm’s way?...
