Laird tells it all: www.mensjournal.com/adventure/gerry-lopez-goes-inside-the-mind-of-laird-hamilton

Basically, SUP has been rampant in Hawaii forever, so Laird was already aware of the concept, and "it started with having my first daughter and wanting to tandem surf with her. I thought, ‘If I’m gonna be surfing with the kid, I wanna get used to riding the board.’ I’d kick out of a wave, and Maui’s windy, so I’d just stand there on that big board and the wind would blow me back out. And [Dave] Kalama and I were out at Maalaea one day when it was one foot and I had the tandem board in the car and Dave had a couple outrigger paddles."
