The gritty New York City workouts—and where to go and what to order after
The whole fitness thing for me started in the gym and it stayed there for quite some time. After a lift, it was alway a protein shake. Actually, it was a protein shake that was carefully concocted with a blend of the carbohydrates maltodextrin and dextrose. I would chugged half off it, then sipped the rest over the course of 20-30 minutes. Did that work? Well, I can’t say it didn’t because I did get in great shape, but I also was in my very early 20s with raging testosterone and the metabolism of a flamethrower. But my post-workout shake…

I overpaid for my flight to Oahu, but that’s OK. The last-minute execution was worth every penny. Book too far in advance and it’s a crap shoot on the surf conditions you get. Will it be too big? Will it be flat? I waited and analyzed every model every minute of every day for the ideal time to pull the trigger—it worked out perfectly. Great-to-fun surf conditions for most days, with some extra-large ones that created for plenty of time to explore and document. I can remember the real early years of travel—broke as a joke and anxious as hell…

The North Shore: An Introduction To The Proving Grounds
The North Shore of Oahu is the place to be if you’re an aspiring surfer, bodyboarder, or waterman looking to make a name for yourself in the industry. It’s got incredibly consistent, quality surf, and the ideal backdrops for jaw-dropping, print-worthy images. But don’t think it’s as easy as packing your board and hopping on a flight. Swells are big, powerful—sometimes rogue—and the lineup is fiercely competitive. Good luck paddling out at Pipe and think you’re entitled to getting a set wave. Ain’t happening’, brah. Locals take priority. The stretch of varying reef breaks and treacherous shorey is referred to…
