Ep. 862: Big Wave Surfing Legend - Laird Hamilton

Surfing: Laird Hamilton on Big Wave Mastery, Popularizing SUP, Inventing Hydrofoil and Tow-In Surfing – Living Without Compromise and Endless Innovation. Laird is famous for surfing the biggest waves in the world and is largely considered to be the influence behind a number of surfing innovations. From popularizing stand-up paddle boarding, inventing hydrofoil boarding, and tow-in surfing, Laird is easily a face on the Mount Rushmore of surfing. Surfer Magazine has labeled Laird as, “the sport’s most complete surfer, displaying almost unnerving expertise in a multitude of disciplines, and flat out surfing’s biggest, boldest, bravest, and the best big wave surfer in the world today, bar none.”We sat down and chatted with Laird about what living Without Compromise means to him and how he maintains his innovation and zest for trying new things in the water. Athletic Brewing has also partnered with Laird in creating Superfood Swell, a collaboration beer with Laird’s Superfood, a refreshing tropical IPA. Big waves of mango collide with swells of pineapple and hints of coconut water to deliver a taste-bending brew that transports you to Hawaii’s shores.Athletic Brewing Camper Giveaway!Sign up for the Athletic Brewing camping trailer giveaway here: https://athleticbrewing.com/pages/grand-giveawayOur Sponsors:* Check out Nathan and Sons: https://nathanandsons.com* Check out Outdoorsy and use my code ASP for a great deal: https://www.outdoorsy.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
