Did you know San Francisco hosted the greenest surf contest ever, and possibly the greenest athletic event in the world? You may know that Kelly Slater won his 11th World Title (twice), but this is the story behind the story.

Do you know what it takes to create an athletic event which diverts 90% of waste away from the landfill? While waste diversion is just a piece of the puzzle (the entire event was run on 100% biofuel generators, bike and skateboard valet, among others), it required constant supervision and effort to reach the goal of 90%.

Local non-profits Sustainable Surf, the SF chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Wastebusters, and the Ocean Beach community came together to create the greenest World Championship Tour contest ever.

This is my take on this photo

This kid was going H.A.M. on these bubbles. Bucket-hat for extra style points.

Foul Ball Mom of the Day: From the looks of that baby’s headgear it seems that mom’s multitasking may not always yield the most favorable results.

[tedr / sbnation / buzzfeed.]

Hey Daily What,

The reason for the helmet on the kid is craniosyntosis, which is where one or more sutures of the child’s cranium prematurely fuses. It has nothing to do with Mom’s extracurriculars.

Sincerely,

Emily Wilson, M.D.

Since I know Buzzfeed and SBnation sometimes read this blog, here’s a second — and learned — opinion on that first caption, from an M.D., no less.

So very true.

bkwentz:

There is little doubt that pro cycling is one of the classiest sports on earth. Riders get paid, at least in part, based on how they finish each day. Today, they tossed the money aside and paid respect to their colleague and friend, Wouter Weylandt. His team, Leopard - Trek, along with his best friend Tyler Farrar (Garmin - Cervelo) crossed the line ahead of a neutralized peloton. I can think of no other sport where athletes do six hours of work only to pay respect to a friend.

Thank you for everything you’ve given us, Wouter. We’ll miss you. And thank you Leopard Trek, Tyler Farrar and all of cycling for a beautiful and moving tribute.

Rest in peace, Wouter.

I’m not ashamed to say I cried through this stage. I’ll miss cheering for you, Wouter.
