Superfood scion, big wave surfer, Laird Hamilton utterly stupefies general public by swimming underwater with dumbbell: “It’s like he’s a real life Greek god or something!”

The hero we need in these uncertain times.

Uncertain times call for extraordinary people and, thankfully, we have Laird Hamilton. The superfood scion and big wave surfer exploded back into view, over Labor Day in America by swimming the length of a pool, underwater, whilst holding a dumbbell.

“Suffering together is always more fun,” the one-time movie bad guy penned to Instagram. “Training w the boys @billykemper and @lucapadua …helping each other become more prepared. Now all we need is some waves.”

@billykemper is, of course, many-time big wave contest winner Billy Kemper while @lucapadua happens to be young Brazilian Mavericks charger Luca Padua.

But attention for the superhuman feat mostly surrounded Hamilton with the mainstream media swooning and the general public left in shocked disbelief, wondering if the man might be, like, a Greek god or something.

Unfortunately, as of writing, the moment did not buoy the Laird Superfood Inc. stock price, which is lower still after an earlier “stunning fall.”

President Business is not chill.

Still, with many extremely nervous over Coronavirus variants etc. it is comforting to know that Laird Hamilton is still out there pioneering work outs unbent.

The hero we need.

Superhuman? Huh? Any surfer who can handle 4′ waves could do what Laird did in that pool. Not. Hard.

He’s a surfing legend. This clip does absolutely nothing to add to his bio. Lol.

Any company based on one person, where the business is basically that person, is a huge risk should anything happen to them.

Geez fawn much? Those of us who knew Laird and Marie back in the day on Maui were indeed stupefied when he walked out on her and their baby to move in with Gabrielle Reece within days of meeting her. A total ‘Lance Burkhart’ move.

I lean to the ‘he can fuck off’ side based on the net effect of his efforts

Laird needs to stay strong for when he foils a wave for four minutes and 15 seconds in Peru:

I have yet to see a bicycle in the pool, but you know, there’s always a first!

It’s wild that Laird’s Superfood has Laird as a spokesperson, but Athletic Green’s has Chas and David Scales.

JJF’s continuous pool length duckdive was more impressive
