MICHAEL BEHAR
is a journalist based
in Boulder, Colo., who
has written about
adventure travel, tech
and the environment
for
Outside
and
Men’s
Journal
, among others.
Behar took up serious
angling for the first
time while reporting his
kayak fishing feature
(“Big Fish, Little Boat,”
page 83), and soon
discovered that “landing
a large fish, especially
while sitting in a tiny
plastic kayak, is a
contact sport.”
Daring Doers
THEY CALL IT A “SLEIGH RIDE,”
and what it is, as
we learn inMichael Behar’s feature story onkayak
fishing in the remoteRepublic ofKiribati, is simple:
“ge ing towed around by a monster fish.” That’s
just one of the thrills in thismonth’s
Hemispheres
,
in which we scale Yosemite’s Half Dome; cling for
dear life to a horse storming across the Argentine
pampas; evade surly hippos in Africa; and, for
good measure, try a little sand-tobogganing in
China. If adrenaline isn’t your thing, we also chat
with comic Aziz Ansari, catch up to star-crossed
swimmer Katie Hoff (a.k.a. the “Phemale Phelps”)
and travel a long, long way for a meal that turns
out to be well worth it. As always, don’t forget to
