"It was the unrideable wave and we rode it." Rory Kennedy's TAKE EVERY WAVE captures the remarkable and unconventional life of legendary big wave surfer Laird Hamilton. Sweeping cinematography positions us in the lineup with a master playing the sea.

Laird's incredible story began in 1960s Hawaii. Finding solace from an abusive home, he rebelled and funneled his energy into big wave Pipeline surfing, awakening a natural talent. More than an athlete with Hollywood good looks, Hamilton proved himself a true innovator, pushing conventions to the extreme and reinventing surfing throughout his career. A pioneer in both tow-in surfing and foil boarding, he distinguished himself from surfing legends of the time who wanted to maintain the purity of the sport.

Mixing evocative, unseen archival footage with intimate access into Laird's current adventures, distinguished filmmaker Rory Kennedy celebrates Hamilton's lifelong desire to charge new frontiers and his intense commitment to conquering the next wave at all costs.

I will always remember Laird in the really bad 80's movie North Shore. I think it had Occy and Gerry Lopez in it as well

It's a smaller world here in giz Latestarter........think am up to sup board 7 or 8 as far as boards purchased and sold goes.
So have a reasonable understanding with other surfers. No one is going to be giving me any "stink eye"

And what is it with surfers. I always feel like my little session is an instagram/facebook session.
I post a couple of waves and B4 I know it I turn around to find lots of followers.

Obviously your sea breeze persona is "too nice"......maybe try and be a teeny weeny bit badder
and what i like best about early morning surfing is no one else out

true ....we do have this shortboard pom. Even if you are still in the car park and say to him "nice day.....surf looks better" if you are a sup person you just get a grunt in response
He is very irritating. I distinctly remember threatening to bury the point of my PSH 12'6 in his head if he dropped in on me again
