Laird Hamilton is the muther fucking MAN!!!
 

just picked up one of his DVDs this weekend... To': Day of Days, about his history making ride in Tahiti....

this guy is the fuckin' real deal.... no contests, no bullshit, no fake glory.... just the love of the art and taking it farther than any man ever has... and the best in the fucking world, hands down.

looking forward to his other DVDs.... :)

Laird needs no boat...

Ya, no shit, who needs a boat when you've got a sweet heli.

actually the heli was shooting film for the opening scene in the latest Bond flick, Die Another Day.....

yeah... that wasn't Brosnan out there on those Peahi waves.... that was Laird. :)

AMP

When are you gonna gobble to the gel and join G4L ?

ummm.....

(checking my calendar....)


never? How about never at say... 9am?

Dont worry we started accepting Hawaiians recently

Hey Amp.

What's up with these waves I hear are 100 miles off the coast of San Deigo & are 70+ feet ?

In the middle of the ocean.....

beats me.... someone in San Diego might know....
I haven't heard anything.... would hafta be some kinda storm system there or something... 100 miles out there isn't a reef shelf or anything to create a wave like that, so it'd have to be a hurricane or something.

Actually there are waves out there -- and Mr Hamilton has been amongst them --

There was recently something, and I can't remember if it was print or maybe Discovery channel, regarding the worlds top surfers, some of the things they've done, and some of the accidents they've suffered doing it --

Let me try and remember

nice dvd amp:) have you seen any of the films by jack johnson?

also, here's the local of those monsters out from SD,
Cortes Bank, a 17-mile underwater mountain range whose peaks crest just three feet below the ocean?s surface, creating, or so it was said, beautiful, towering wave 100 miles off the coast of San Diego, Calif.
Was on dateline last night

awesome.... I hadn't heard of Cortes Bank.... I wish I would've seen Dateline last night now....

sounds like only the right storm swells make it happen though... same as Peahi here. Far as I know, Peahi (Jaws) is still the world's monster though... 80+ - 100+ ft faces with the right swell.

I'll definately hafta read up on this Cortes Bank though....

Didnt Foo die on something like 50 feet?

just another day at cortes bank
