Laird is the best. As a kid gromming around the local shop he strolled in (friends with the owner) and he was so nice. I'm surprised he fit under the pier the man is a mountain.
We always laughed at the states surf culture. As the camera pans around you can see more "highways" than surfers in the water. "Highways" drive up and down the coast with boards on the roof, stacked improperly of course, and never go in. Have a closer look at the video, the number of "highways" holding boards hanging around.
