When the Titan submersible imploded on its way down to visit the wreck of the Titanic in June of 2023, it was a very public tragedy. The world waited in horror as the crew’s inevitable fate was revealed, and now the family of one of the explorers aboard has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the sub’s operator, OceanGate and others. The suit claims that the crew went through “terror and mental anguish” and accused the defendants of gross negligence.

If we’re being totally honest, someone like Kelly Slater probably isn’t a guy whose surfboard preferences align with the average surfer. Sure, he’s got a wealth of design knowledge — and the practical skills to put it all to use — but Slater’s ability to surf a door better than the Average Joe can surf a surfboard makes an explanation from him a bit like Einstein explaining quantum physics to a second grader. Still, though, when Slater, Dan Mann, and the Firewire team introduced the Boss Up, it was an easy lesson for the second grader to learn.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

A former employee of Atomic Skis is being accused of stealing as many as 1,900 pairs of skis from the company over the course of two years. The report originally comes from Salzburg Nachrichten, in which the newspaper uncovered public court documents detailing an alleged operation by a 57-year-old employee working in the company’s Pongau, Austria factory. One of the man’s tasks was to dispose of skis with minor defects, but along with the help of an accomplice, he was instead selling the equipment for €50 per pair.

Editor’s Note: This feature is presented by our partners at Isopure. A few years ago, during the heart of the pandemic, Blair Conklin and I found a way to put together a sweet little trip through the American West. It was the perfect mission, actually, because we naturally had plenty of space (social distancing was in). The Inertia took the skimboarding world champ to three of the West’s best natural river waves to see what a guy used to shredding shorebreak could do in rapids of the whitewater variety.

TIAHURA, Tahiti (AP) — During their days on Tahiti’s turquoise ocean some years ago, fishers noticed their catches — and the fish inside — were getting smaller. With fishing being a vital part of the ways of Polynesian life, local leader Dominique Tehei, 51, and his fellow community members knew they needed to find a way to restore the ecosystem. They decided there was a customary Polynesian practice that could help them do it: creating a rahui.
