Chillin With Laird

Today was just plain epic! It started out with catching up with an old friend (Skyler) who I used to lifeguard with in Solana Beach who recently moved out here to Kaui. We surfed a crap beachie on the east side with howling on shores but I still had a blast. We then went out to dinner with my buddies uncle and auntie at the Blue Snapper on the North Shore of Kaui. We ended up eating next to the gorgeous surfer chic, Alana Blanchard. Then after that we cruised over to the worlds gnarliest big wave tow in surfer, Laird Hamilton's house, since Ian's aunt lives next door to him. As we knocked on Lairds door, all I could picture was some massive, superhuman answering. As we waited patiently, we finally saw a big head pop up on the couch. He was only wearing trunks. It looked like tree trunks had been attached to where his limbs would be. As he marched to the door! I kinda was trippin thinkin like, " I hope he's cool with us interrupting", "I hope he doesn't break my hand". He was actually really rad. Really cool and personable but super super intense. We talked a bit about the surf and what types of food he eats to stay fit. I had to keep reminding myself "Goodness gracious, I am talkin to THE man THE Laird Hamilton."
