- Via Club Fat Ass, the trailer for XS-NRG: The documentary XS-NRG follows four athletes who push the boundaries of human endurance in pursuit of adventure. Their challenge: be the first to run the 180km Sunshine Coast Trail on the West Coast of British Columbia, non-stop. Run four back-to-back marathons? On rugged, mountain trails?  With no sleep and no aid for hours at a time?  Seems inconceivable, if not downright crazy. Click here for viewings.

- A great white shark decided to play a friendly visit to kayakers in Australia. Oh, and one of the kayakers fell in the water.

I came across this brief news posting yesterday, but have not seen or heard any other information, regarding a diving accident at Whytecliff Park.

An unconscious patient was being treated by paramedics Saturday afternoon after a scuba-diving accident off Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver.

Emergency crews were called to the scene in the 7100-block Marine Drive at about 1:15 p.m.

The B.C. Ambulance Service said a medevac helicopter was being launched to transport the patient.

The gender and condition of the patient was not available.

Hopefully the person is OK and on their way to a full recovery. If I see any other news I’ll post it.
