Days ago it was revealed, here, that Greek god and part-time Hawaiian Laird Hamilton had utterly stupefied the general public by swimming underwater whilst holding a dumbbell. An amazing feat of strength, will, endurance and witnessed by big wave surfers Billy Kemper and Luca Padua.
What was unknown, at the time, was that two short months before, Hamilton had been foil surfing Chicama in Peru and may have just caught “the world’s longest wave.”
Footage captures Hamilton dressed in a black spring suit, holding a GoPro stick and effortlessly gliding a very wide red and yellow foil all over the steady, but not very shapely, left-hander.
I counted each and every second until I realized that this particular ride may not be “the longest in the world” as billed by much media but rather Chicama is “the longest wave in the world.”
“Laird Hamilton surfs world’s longest wave.”
Very opaque.
In any case, I was glad I watched and you are glad you watched too. Tom Brady begins his quest for another Super Bowl ring tonight with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His 22nd season under center.
Ageless like Kelly Slater, like Laird Hamilton.
The same as they ever were, the same as they ever will be.
How much would you imagine a broth made from the bones of Tom Brady, Kelly Slater or Laird Hamilton would go for on the open market?
Superfood.
Quit ya whinnin little girls….Its Laird Hamilton…
A Big Wave Surfer who will probably kick the fugg outta most of you panzy ass kooks!…
He doesnt have a fuggen thing to prove to anyone, he is a fuggen extreme surfer, inventor and way richer than you panzy kooks…GTFOH…
Lots of jealous losers on this thread…
GET A FUCKING LIFE LOSERS….
A. FUCKING. LIFE!
The big wave surfer is just showing the world his groovy talents..
Lot of pussy hurting going on in here!!!
He is quite a genius, he created tow in surfing amongst other surf 1st….
He is a BIG WAVE surfer god , he surfs with the best of the best, ANYWHERE!..
And all you pussy faced slobs on here just talk shit always, no life, no clue, no ideas…
Derelicts is all i see!….Jealous Mofo’s!
Try doing what he is doing instead if talking shit about the “Icon of Surfing”!!!
Pussy Hurt Bitches is all you are!!!
The dudes a Kook.
I liked the wave riding and the aerial footage, but the music did not work for me. It was too mysterious as if it was drawn from the “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Perhaps a jazzier work would’ve reflected the beauty of this dance with nature.
fuck, even laird can’t make that look fun or easy.
Its not easy, its hard….
I know, but if the guy that essentially invented it can’t make it look good, it begs the question, what’s the point? i’m yet to see anything done on a foil that seems remotely fun.
I would argue that the board he’s standing on, is not touching the water, thus he is not really surfing. Maybe his board is air surfing.
What do you call a surfcraft with a paddle or sail or motor ?
A BOAT !
jokey mystery music from a Key and Peele sketch!
now where’s my badge?!!
“Take Every Long Wave” – Sequel better than the original?
Some say Pacasmayo is longer. I think the Kiwi guy is ghosting me so if anyone actually reads this, can they send one PING only, Yuri?
The music! Good God. Hilarious
The mute-it!
Word on the market is Lairds buisness group has started on the dread downward trend line and would be considered as a sell not a buy.
Yep, thus the new “content “ being marketed.
Took a hit after his hip op replacement.
Joint replacement doesn’t sell too the youth market.
See Tom Carroll effort for a regrow your hair advertisement.
Elo should work for laird or vice versa
No 540?
Tous les pères devraient penser la même chose, je perçois pour les femmes le monde un peu plus difficile, l’égalité souvent oubliée en France et dans le monde.
With that dramatic music I was, at first, riveted and glued, waiting for the Loch Ness monster from Scotland to rear its head in Peru and a battle between Laird and Loch to ensue, perhaps culminating with Laird beheading Loch with his foil keel thingy and holding the head aloft, skewered and impaled on the end of his Gopro stick thingy.
But it was just Laird, all poo stanced, going weeeeee weeeeeee weeeeeee on some fat, open face. Looked like the shit you’d try once when it’s flat and think “this is fucken boring as fuck. Why did I give up a day of wanking for this?”
WANKING the Franckfurt
For that special moment , may we of the BG sisterhood suggest , a bowl of LAIRD SUPER FOOD followed by some intimate stretching with some one who really loves you and knows exactly what you want ….Yourself STAN .
and don’t forget a tube of lube and the World Champions Choice IS
K (e11 ) Y Je11Y ……. When 11 times is never enough .
( just remember to stop because the Kelly Jelly Never wants to Retire )
So we get Kelly Jelly with Laird’s super creamer? Fuck me my monitor’s in for a spraying tonight. Just need time to clean it before Tommy Turbo takes on the Storm
Be Manly and Franck always ?
Anyone but the fucking Storm. Turbo spraying gorgeous northern beaches plumes of shit all over Bellamy and the purple people eater gang would be rather lovely. Big ask though
My Dad a , life time Tigers fan for 85 years was saying the same about St George in the 50 / 60s when they won about 1000 times in a row …
Alas, the fucking Storm machine cuts Tommy at the knees and Papenhuyzen schools him with help from his purple mates. Wonderful organisation and incredibly well run. I hate ‘em coz they’re so efficiently good.
Get ‘em to run the fucking wozzle!
It ain’t over yet ,but like the Brazilian Storm , the Melbourne Storm look ominous and here to stay ….
I am sure your daughters are nice. accomplished women no insult intended.
Officially “Surfing” the worlds longest wave?
I beg your pardon. He is foiling…. And the wave barely broke.
Not Surfing , Boating .
Toutes mes excuses mais mes trois filles sont clairement plus adorables et accomplies que les vôtres, ceci dit bravo !
Worlds longest line could, or has been achieved in Peru
And no fentanol. #bonus
seriously though imagine getting all gacked up then having to surf that cheeseburger?
and nothing but brown hills everywhere? Pass
A distinct lack of green ….
The reason that many of the Northern most Canary Islands will never be compared to Tahiti or Hawaii, even though they all have powerful surf .
Ever been there??…NOPE!!…1 of the best spots in the world, I can say that because ive been there 3 times, never dissapoints!!!
If he really wanted to push the limits he’d do it while drinking a bowl of Kelly’s homemade bone broth…
Yep ….This is the antithesis of Laird‘s “ Millennium Wave “ at Chopes
Maybe he is trying to grow old , can we say , gracefully …….well almost, but style and Grace were words not often used to describe Laird’s Surfing ?
He’s got the Zuck stance down.
No flag – fail.
I just seen that piece of shit has released sunnies that film/upload to Instagram and facey while you wear em.. fuck that noise.
And out goes the rule forever
NEVER PUNCH A MAN WITH GLASSES …..
