Yes it is Laird Hamilton. You HAVE to watch "Riding Giants" if you didn't see it. One of the most inspiring video's I have ever seen. Laird tops the world of athletes. There are giants in sport...Pele, Jordan, Beckham, Borg, Natravilova, etc., but Laird is in a class of his own. It is him and the Ocean, and he is the master of surfing. His work is aesthetic, perfect, archetypal. Awesome. OffWorld ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
