This is really magical. For a 42-year-old former wrestler growing up in a landlocked state and now producing a public radio program (sitting in a cube in front of a screen most days), I admire how he’s been able to meld his family life with his professional life — and do it outdoors. And that he talks about how it grounds him is refreshing.

What an amazing way to raise a family. Can you imagine?

Surfing a Wave of Mystery

by Trent Gilliss, senior editor

When asked about surfing a world record 90-foot high wave (27 meters) above Nazare Canyon off the Atlantic coast of Portugal, Garrett McNamara comments in this Guardian video:

“This wave is very mysterious and very magical. It’s just such a mystery; you never know what you’re going to get out there.”

Magical? Check. Daunting? Check. A mysterious place to meet one’s maker? Check.
