I've seen bigger waves in a toilet.
Laird is the greatest ever (so far).
I absolutely adore this video. It's so beautiful and shows Laird at his absolute best. It's gorgeous. It's sad that now Teahupoo is so crowded all the time. But I am so grateful for film and the ability to see things like this. It's transforming and spectacular.
too much hype? I think that dozens if not more waves like this was ridden at teahupoo.
The difference between L.H. is most surfers who ride these monsters are just trying to survive the ride while L.H. is out there playing on them.
Can someone please tell me who created the music @ 5:40?
None given here.
Thx in advance.
I wonder what the OTHER waves that day were like??!!
The first wave is at jaws and all the others are teahupoo ???????
All respect, This guy Hamilton is either fearless or craZy! Wish I could ride waves like that
Filmed through a sock. I had the DVD-seemed so much cleaner than this footage.
Starts with Jaws, ends with Teahupoo.
Surfing looks fun as shit! Would be solid right enough
Not " choh poo". Try saying it more like…"tey ahoo poh". It runs together but it is not "choh poo". How many of these pricks go to, or live in, the islands but can't be arsed to pronounce the names properly.
ya lol this isnt teahupoo… teahupoo breaks the other way, troll. this is jaws
Laird 'Mother Fuckin' Hamilton…….
THIS IS NOT TEAHUPOO ITS JAWS
cray wave, but better, his tan is on point
Laird is sorta Will Forte-esque.
holy fuck.
this isnt teahupoo. this is peahi or "Jaws" on maui
THE MASTERPIECE …….. TIMELESS ….POETRY IN MOTION ……….
Laird is God
This is not teahupoo this is jaws
this is so frickin epic! sweaty palms and goosebumps, third time watching. good stuff! legendary.
LH encompasses all of the qualities that epitomize a truly great big wave rider… great water skills, tremendous strength and endurance, the inhuman ability to think under pressure, fearlessness, flawless technique, and simply an overwhelming love and respect for the ocean.
Laird turned a regular surfing – to a Great Art! God bless him!
I do need atention,just not from you.
What's the music called at the end???
I surfed at 14, 15, 16 and at 17 a 20 footer by Doheny scared the crap out of me at 5: 00 AM and me and Cathy Jordan was the only people on the lonely beach………that wave took our sweatshirts off the beach and we froze…..oh the early 60s..how I miss them
