Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton
Laird Hamilton is perhaps the greatest big wave surfer of all time, a living legend who has tamed some of the world’s mightiest waves. In the surf community he is also one of the most controversial figures, an innovator who has revolutionized the sport often to the dismay of purists.
