Laird Hamilton, our next guest on the show, is a world-renowned big-wave surfer who has achieved incredible feats for riding the tallest, fastest, heaviest, and most dangerous waves ever surfed. In this episode, we get a glimpse into the life and journey of a pro surfer who walked amongst giants and could not keep himself away from the water. Shawn and Laird share many comparisons to what we call an ‘adrenaline junkie’ and discuss how Shawn’s background in the SEAL Teams and CIA compares to the life-and-death situations of Laird constantly chasing big waves.

Laird discusses his near-death experiences, reading waves, not conforming to the surfing norm, his accomplishments from JAWS to Teahupoo, biohacking, the company he started, Laird Superfood, and more. For those who don’t know, Shawn has officially partnered with Laird Superfood, and in this deep two-part series, you will see how Laird sources the finest ingredients at an affordable price so we all can reap the benefits.

NAZARE 05 NOVEMBER – HUGE, CROWDED AND STORMY! #nazaresurf #hugeday #05november

November the 5th was another day for the books! Huge waves arrived to Praia do Norte in Nazare, Portugal. It was a special day, but not only because of it waves! Today was the first HUGE day of the season and many of the surfers were out for a mission in diferent places around the globe to receive this XXL Swell.
So the lineup wasn’t as crowded as usual, were it was really crowded today was at the cliff, were more than 5.000 people were standing under the intermittent rain watching the few surfers trying to get some bombs in stormy conditions.
Waves were over 60ft coming from every direction, the inside was as hard as it gets to navegate and the cliff was like being in a Rolling Stones concert!
As always, I let you here a Raw edit, with no music so you can enjoy a real ambient experience!
