How heavy is that guy's barrel at the end - he must have got drilled

lairds mate did well

yer he got smoked big time

would love to have one of those rhino chacer boards for this winters onslaught

Nice wave dogman its pumping would have been good if the second blokes barrel didn't closeout on him.

Sick good find dog !

Love to watch it, but seriously, don't think I could ever go out in something that heavy

Thats insane dogman
Lairds waves were good, but the other guys OMG! he is a friend of my dads his name is Terry Chun he pretty much rules the bay whatever he is on, that was the most committed SUP barrel i have seen yet, including the ones in Tahiti, and if you have ever surfed Hanalaei Bay you know that you get seriously whipped out there if you get flogged on any board let alone a paddle board! wave has so much power, right on Terry!!!
Lairs a legend too though no doubt about that.

This New Laird vid is even better..

DJ

Awesome!!!!

Gnarly looking wave that one!

I think he has the lease attached to his waist to keep it out of the way - I presume it comes off his waist fairly easily, then the main force is on his ankle.

nice work DJ

sick righthander

caught a couple of waves like that thismorning at the Alley , well not quite like that but pretty good.

Laird is def. the man!

Gee that brings back memories.
Spent 5 weeks at Nias early 90s with my then girlfriend.
Turmoil in and out of the water but I can't complain overall.
Guys all round us getting Malaria.
Longest hold down of my life and acutally hit the bottom- and out there it was deep.

Made the elevator drop but was too late to pull in to the safety of the barrel.
Got rolled in front of what was a close to triple overhead set top to bottom round after being blasted forward by the lip.When I finally broke the surface and was sent deep it was a relief. Had my eyes open but it was dark so started back for the surface . Three more thrashings and it was still dark.I also think I was seconds away from peace. Usual story once surfaced. Rest of the set on the head . Nothing was as bad as the first after that though.
Dodged the malaria but blew out my eardrum a few days later on a smaller day- funny how that happens.
Went to the local town doctor and he suggested I blow cigarette smoke out of it to make sure it was perforated. I had already had to make my way in, totally dizzy in the water and it flapped when I held my nose and blew so I knew already but didn't go in for the local diagnosis technique.
Some of the best tube time of my life however so maybe thats just the price.
At least I can't hear the kind words from old longboarders feeling their advantage challenged when I am 50 metres away on my sup taking a fat peak by myself that no one else could get onto anyway.

Wow, I'm surprised. I thought SUP were banned at Hanalei. I wonder if he's welcome back.
