Alright, let’s talk about the things we want. Sorry, I’m a day late! It was a riotously busy week traversing Southern California and the Mojave Desert, but an incredibly fun one.
I’ll share more next week, but I spent Wednesday adventure-riding brand new 2026 Sea-Doos with YouTube legend Adam Swords out at Lake Havasu. It was an absolute dream day cruising the water and gorges. Huge thanks to Sea-Doo, but I’ll save the full recap for later.
After Havasu, I took a quick side quest to Las Vegas. I ran it back for one last night at the Sphere for Phish’s spring run. The funky “Punch You In The Eye” and “The Sloth” as an encore were highlights, both incredible. I’ve said it before, but the Sphere is revolutionary… there is simply no live music experience like it. It’s cool to pull up X and Instagram and see how many people are talking about Phish right now because of it. 40+ years into their careers and on top of the world.
Bought a DJI Osmo 6 Action Cam a couple months ago and finally got the perfect excuse to test it out. Some friends at Sea-Doo invited me out to Lake Havasu, so I strapped it on and took a GTX for a spin. First time out there, and man, tearing across that lake in the morning when… pic.twitter.com/H3wvJbLBAo

Now that the weekend is here and I’m back home in LA, I’m heading down to the BeachLife Festival in Redondo to see Poolside, My Morning Jacket, and James Taylor. Experiencing Jim James’ hauntingly beautiful voice on the sand as the sun sets is going to be an absolute vibe.
I’ve got plenty of catch-up to do, including turning a mountain of Havasu footage into some cool new video content. On a personal note: the marriage license is officially in! It’s all systems go, and I’m thrilled to see everything coming together.
April was spring; May is officially summer. I am fully feeling that energy right now. So throw something on the grill, be good to each other, and let’s dive into this week’s Things We Want. Cheers.

Dogfish Head x Survivor ‘Coconut Etiquette’ IPA via Dogfish Head
Speaking of summer energy, for some reason, I received scores of pitches for new beer releases while I was on the road. One that immediately caught my eye: Dogfish Head teamed up with Survivor for the show’s 50th season to release “Coconut Etiquette.” It’s a tropical hazy IPA (6.2% ABV) brewed with toasted coconut, coconut water, and passionfruit, inspired by the show’s Fiji setting. They’re dropping these limited-edition $50 castaway-themed collector’s kits on GiveThemBeer.com that include a 4-pack of the beer, a pint glass, a sticker, and a Dogfish Head x Survivor Buff. The first drop actually happened yesterday, but they have more drops coming on May 6 and May 11, so set your alarms if you want to snag one before the season finale.

Tecovas LongHaul Waterproof Square Soft Toe Work Boot via Tecovas
I snagged a pair of the original LongHauls when they dropped last year, and I can confirm firsthand: they are ridiculously sturdy, stupidly comfy, and boast the high-quality craftsmanship you expect from Tecovas. (You can read our full review of the originals on BroBible right here). Now, if your feet are currently sweating bullets on the job site, Austin-based Tecovas just dropped a major upgrade to your footwear rotation. Launching today, the new LongHaul is a waterproof, square soft toe work boot engineered with a built-in temperature-regulating system designed to actively manage heat. It features their Total Energy Command (TEC) footbed for all-day comfort and a clever MuckOFF anti-slip tread that literally prevents mud from building up. These bad boys transition effortlessly from a grueling twelve-hour shift to looking sharp at the bar right after.

Chubbies ‘The Not Looking Back’ Performance Sun Hoodie

Look, my life for the next few months will revolve entirely around hitting the beach, riding Sea-Doos, and desperately hoping to get invites on my buddy’s boat. On Havasu the other day, I was reminded of just how important have a whole bunch of sun shirts is during the summer. It’s intense out there.
If you’re planning on spending from sunrise to sunset out on the water like I am, protecting your neck is absolutely non-negotiable. Chubbies took the highly functional UPF performance shirt and injected it with bright weekend energy. Built with a moisture-wicking, anti-microbial UPF 50+ fabric that blocks 98% of UV rays, it keeps you from turning into a lobster while ensuring you won’t smell like a tackle box at the marina bar. It’s packed with clever details like thumbholes, a secure zipper pocket, and a built-in sunglass loop on the collar so you don’t sacrifice your favorite shades to the ocean. Plus, the bright pink colorway and retro “Weekend Has Arrived” graphic are guaranteed mood-boosters, even if the fish aren’t biting.

Cuisinart ClearView Air Fryers
Look, I am a simple man. I see a glass window on an air fryer so I can watch my pizza rolls crisp up in real-time without opening the drawer and ruining the convection heat, and my brain releases the happy chemicals. Cuisinart just dropped its brand-new ClearView Air Fryer lineup to compete against the Ninja Crispi, and they’re absolute game-changers for your countertop. Available in a compact 4-Quart or a massive 9-Quart basket for batch-cooking, these bad boys pack 450°F of high heat for fast, even crisping. Plus, the cooking surfaces are PFAS-free and dishwasher-safe, meaning cleanup is virtually nonexistent. They are available for pre-order exclusively on Amazon right now, so grab one and prepare to be mesmerized by your own mozzarella sticks.

Riverskate Flow Lab Hovercraft 4WD Whitewater SUP
I caught a video of this thing on Instagram earlier this week when Cass sent it to me, and my jaw absolutely hit the floor. If you’ve ever stared down a raging river rapid and thought, “You know what? I should probably stand on that,” Riverskate has built your new Jedi training craft. Billed as a first-of-its-kind freestyle whitewater SUP, the Flow Lab Hovercraft 4WD basically turns you into a river ninja. It features a low-volume, twin-tip design with a four-fin setup for ultimate corner awareness, allowing you to carve, spin, and surf with ridiculous control. They even integrated patent-pending “Grab Wings” so you can brace with your knees and feet. It’s built for linking vertical maneuvers like cartwheels in the foam pile—something my clumsy body will inevitably turn into an ungraceful, flailing yard sale, but man, I can’t wait to try.

If there is one thing I love more than staring blankly into the abyss, it’s staring into a roaring, smokeless fire while actively ignoring my emails. The pyromaniac geniuses over at Solo Stove just released their most advanced fire pit yet: the Summit 24″. They somehow made their legendary smokeless technology even better by giving it a lower profile so you see way more of the flame. It also features a new patent-pending “Quick-Strike Cone” that gets your fire blazing three times faster when paired with their starter gel, which means less time fiddling with kindling and more time drinking beer. Complete with a built-in stand so you don’t scorch your deck and a removable ash pan because nobody wants to do actual chores on a Sunday morning, it’s the ultimate backyard upgrade.

If there’s one certainty in life, it’s that the Nike Pegasus is the undisputed workhorse of the running world. Now, after four decades of pounding the pavement, Nike is finally bringing that legendary heritage to the golf course with the new Pegasus 1. They took everything you love about the original—the ridiculously responsive Cushlon and ReactX foam cushioning—and slapped a hybrid traction pattern on the bottom so you can maintain stability while violently slicing your drive into the adjacent fairway. Available now in a crisp White/Sail/White colorway, these are the ultimate crossover shoes for guys who want to feel like they’re walking on clouds while shooting a 104.
