@NWSMobile Rip currents can be difficult to see, are sometimes shallow, and can move faster than an Olympic swimmer. Get the upper hand! Spot #RipCurrents better from a high perch - try a lifeguard stand, dune line, or beach access point. Elevate your beach game and be #BeachSmart

This month, as part of our ongoing effort to enhance your golf knowledge, we're diving into Rule 8: "Playing the course as it is found." Accepting the conditions and taking reasonable actions are fundamental parts of the game. Find out more about this essential rule on our blog at https://lnkd.in/eNNA6qpM

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Properly Wax New Surfboard

Here’s a little ice-breaker. Curling is Cool. Not the hair or eyelash kind (though, yes, it makes you look prettier sometimes)… I mean the large rock sliding and ice-sweeping kind. At least, that’s what Curling is Cool Day is about, an old Scottish game that’s a Canadian favourite at the Winter Olympics, and also right up there amongst Bruce Springsteen and George Clooney’s top-watched sports. Tentatively linked by closeness of spelling and Gaelic beginnings, any time I mention one of Ireland’s national sports, Hurling, I often get questioned as to whether it’s the weird Scottish ice shuffleboard and broomstick one… but it couldn’t be more different. As Jason Statham says in Blitz: "This, lads, is a hurley, used in the Irish game of hurling; a cross between hockey and murder". And seeing as I’m from Limerick, having suffered decades of torment in mediocrity, I currently revel in my hometown’s Man City-esque rise to the top of the pile, chasing an unprecedented five-in-a-row world championship rings. As good an advert for Irish manly excellence as any. Today in 1886, the first-ever classified advert was published in The Times in London. I mean, they call it the first-ever, but the Ancient Egyptians pipped the Brits to the post by about four millennia, creating public notice carvings as far back as 2000 BC. When I was growing up, classifieds were all about Desperately Seeking Susan (a Madonna film – not a cry for female attention), though if you look a little further back in the States, they were a great way of tracking down runaway slaves or far-reaching ransom notes. Both runaways and ransom-seekers could’ve benefited from playing Unesco-noted oldest and fastest field sport in the world (hurling), having begun as a Cú Chulainn hunting weapon as he slayed wild Irish wolves of mythology. I understand that you may be disappointed in curling not featuring more prominently in a Curling is Cool Day post… but, to be fair, it’s only cool in temperature, and hurling is much greater. #Curling #Hurling #Classifieds

Where you can’t quite spot your landing, you’re not 100% what’s on the other side of that door, or the response you’re going to get from the people who pay your bills… Making business decisions needs a level of calculated risk. ‘𝘔𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 “𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘏𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬.” 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘪.” 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺.’ This epic short from YETI + World Surf League is all about Leah Dawson is one of my ALL TIME favourite surfers,who I interviewed for a uni e-zine back in the day. (I asked her all about stigmas against women in the water. And if she was a pizza topping, what flavour would she be... it was spinach BTW.) Taking calculated risks may not always lead to success. But help us learn and evolve. Without calculated risk, we quickly become irrelevant. (Or burnt out, if you're the reckless kind.) This year, my calculated risks have been around pitching to epic outdoor, wellbeing and sports brands. I'm being ok with rejection - it keeps me learning, aware of the waves of change around me. ...with the view that 1 risk lands out of 100. And what's on the other side of the door is legacy-making. ⚡ What are you taking *calculated* risks on in 2024? ⚡
