Customer Reviews of Laird (White Knuckle Extreme)
Laird Hamilton Defines Psychotic!! Having been a surfer all my life and having surfed the North Shore of O'ahu, I've known about Laird Hamilton for the last 15 years. He's been doing "Tow-in" surfing for close to 10 years now. I come from a family of surfers and the freak out every time they see this DVD.
This is the ULTIMATE surfing video, as well as one of the top 20 Extreme Sports video. What Laird and his colleagues are doing are beyond INSANE! These are the biggest waves ever surfed in history. These waves are HUGE!! The waves that I surfed on the North Shore are Lake Tahoe shorebreak compared to what Laird is surfing in this video, and he totally tears these waves apart! He'll catch major air riding down the face of the wave, getting completely barreled and pull out of it, and exiting the wave, he'll fly out about 10-15 feet flipping in the air. It's totally insane. He and his colleagues are doing things and experiencing what NO ONE else in the world are doing, not Bill Gates, not the President, not Michael Jordan, not Shaq O'Neal, not Lennox Lewis, not ANYONE.
One of the surfers in the DVD hails Laird as the "Best Surfer in the World". That's all relative. Maybe he doesn't have the small wave and competitive skills of a Kelly Slater or a Tom Curren, but when it comes to tow-in surfing in Hawaii or Tahiti, then yes, he is the best surfer in the world. He is definitely the best at what he does and is the ultimate ocean athlete.
People have absolutely no idea how treacherous these waves are. They are HORRENDOUS! They can hold you under water for more than 1-2 minutes if you wipe out on one of them. People die on waves an eighth of this size. Laird is the ULTIMATE water athlete! He defines HUGE! He defines psychotic!
Say What?
Very impressive waves and surfing- ESPECIALLY that sick Teahopo pit! Some of the commentary I found a bit inappropriate, however. Don't get me wrong- Laird deserves all the credit he deserves, but the comments about Jaws being the heaviest big wave in the world (by Doerner) and Laird being the sort of the 'King of Surf', can not be justified until both Laird and Doerner come out to Mavericks on a big winter day and try paddle-in (or even tow-in on a giant, clean day). Mav's bowls just as hard, (if not harder) and for just as long (if not longer), when big. Shall Mav's 'legends' (Jeff Clark, Flea, Peter Mel, etc.) become unsung heroes just because Hawaii's water is warm and blue, and all eyes tend towards that sunny vista? Ooooohhh... until these blue-water cats come out and prove themselves at big Mav's, I take all the pomp they espose with a big rain of salt. It's awesome stuff, though, what Laird is doing at Jaws, Tahiti, and with the hoovercarft board thing. He definitely pushes the envelope- in the tropics...
Great flick.
Really enjoyed this vid. There is some really insane footage from Jaws. Definitely got to see some of what Laird is really capable of. Was also nice to get some more history and information about Jaws itself. They do kind of go a bit overboard in talking up Laird like he's superman. No question the guy is a killer surfer doing some amazing things, but he doesn't need to be worshiped. I'd grab this one up if for nothing other than the footage of Laird's wave in Tahiti.
