...France's Salomon have caught the attention of high-ranking pros by bringing innovative materials and construction methods to surfboards, some that had already worked wonders for skis, snowboards and the wings of Boeing Dreamliners. New designs using expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), epoxy resins and stiff sheets of carbon fiber add responsiveness and maneuverability to the boards. The buzzword: "flex memory"--or "flex"--the way a board snaps back into its original shape in a turn or maneuver.

It doesn't have high fructose corn syrup or a lot of the artificial ingredients that fill other kids' cereals, and it has plenty of fiber, calcium and iron. Another quick and healthy option for breakfast: a simple five-ingredient smoothie, made with bananas, milk, peanut butter, honey and ice. It's both cheaper and healthier than most breakfasts...
