luv the helicopter take off on the overhead wave very nice...like the way he bangs his paddle and board around in the boat...probally dosent pay for them aye?

The board he was riding look liked a poly and not that thick but pretty wide, what size do you think it is ?

Think he said 10'6" (did also say 11' too) but it does look like a custom of his surftech 10'6". Some one was selling a prototype poly of his 10'6" over here, that surftech now do. It was pulled in quite a bit at the tail and had more rocker than the pop out version....not sure if it sold? Looked a nice board.

Oh and that video was awesome!!

Great post! Just what I needed today. I'm sitting at home with a back injury and missing the water. I think I will watch this again and again, loving the longboard SUP'ing style and the way he makes it look so smooth

Hanalei Bay on Kuai. He bought a place there recently and spent most of this winter there. Still has his place in Maui, I think some Google folks rented it for most of the winter.

Probably doesn't need the leggie, if he comes off he'd just walk on the bottom of the ocean until he gets to the beach. Freak!!

If Laird adopted you:
- you would be training all day.
- you would have to do a fair bit of praying.
- definitely a lot of positive thinking
- you would have a hot mother
- you would be in deep shi.t if you developed an Oedipus complex.

Cheers Bill
Last year when I visited there were some bargain real estate to be had on Kuai.A US expat I paddle with in Bali reckons alot of guys like Laird and Gerry live on mainland US (Oregon?) and just fly in/fly out when the surf is up!

Nah its not the slow mo froggo, its just guys like laird and me, you know, huge and ripped, we just move slower so it looks more relaxed. Can't help it, it's just the bulk muscles you know. Anyway, hope this clears things up a little.
