Last weekend, the San Diego Surf Ladies hosted the second-annual Board Shorts Film Festival featuring nine shorts from international artists, all inspired by women.

Travel is often the first line of defense against this uncertainty, and the willingness to let the universe tell you where it wants you to go can lead to some incredible and unexpected discoveries.

How do you feed the hollow hunger that surfing leaves behind every time you step away from the beach? When Jeff DiNunzio hasn't felt the sand between his toes for far too long, he reads about surfing, stories by writers who capture its essence so vividly that it's impossible not to imagine...

This is something we've been interested in for a long time as it's a simple and effective way to preserve food in your own home. Since we're so stoked on canning right now, we want to make sure we explore it from all angles when the show comes out. So, we're asking you to help us out. Here's what we're looking for:
