Boating is a popular recreational activity, and it could also be used as a form of transportation for moving between coastal and river areas. Since we often don't see a boat's method of propulsion and its engine, we wouldn't usually think about how these watercraft move about on the surface.

A tragically hilarious Florida story - in four parts.

Some people think they are built for the life on the water, but in reality, they often aren't. They could have a plethora of cheesy signs throughout their home with various lake-and-ocean-related phrases, and it really doesn't mean anything until it's time to really live life on the water.

That's especially true at the boat ramp.

For the uninitiated, the boat ramp is where the pros and amateurs are separated. It's all fun and games once you get out on the water, but first, you have to tackle the beast that is a subtly...

Nature is such a wild, awe-inspiring, sometimes frightening place, but there’s something about the ocean that makes this seem even crazier to me. At least on land, we are in our element, in water… we don’t really stand a chance against something that lives there. We are not all Michael Phelps.

California Spearfisherman Dives Off Boat To Swim With Shark, Panics When He Thinks It Might Be A Great White

Orleans, MA

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

Great White Shark Rockets Out Of Water To Steal Striped Bass From Fisherman, Almost Flops Right Into The Boat

Portsmouth, NH

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.

The Avid B7 Front Roll Center Shims are made out of 100% carbon and are offered in this set with four thicknesses of 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. Lowering the front hinge pins allows the front end to roll more. This is extremely helpful for absorbing the extra energy caused by high bite tracks like carpet/astro turf/prepped clay. It can sometimes be counter-intuitive thinking why this helps, but a good way to picture the benefits, imagine your car has turnbuckles as front shock. When giving your car any steering input the car will immediately respond causing the rear to become unstable. This increase in roll helps slow all that reaction down in the front and then in the mid-corner it picks up steering.
