Great SUP pics.

DJ,
These pics are awesome. I know what I'd be thinking at the top of that wave! And I think I need just a few more sessions in the surf before I could tackle that!! Ha!

Here's a couple more pics of laird at Teahupoo.

laird looks like he's on a mission to ride another bomb........but this time on a "SUP"

an aircraft carrier, a huge platform, a bluddy big chunk of "low performance" on the pinnacle of big wave spots.

he's dwarfing a lot of "extreme watermen"

whilst looking like a stocking stuffed with walnuts.

Yeah Laird as an absolute legend..imo.

For those who don't know it..Laird SUP'd across the English channel in 06 to raise money for Autistic children...Google it and you will find heaps.

He actually rode a Mt bike from the center of London down to the water..paddled across the channel..(big swells, rough conditions, wind, big ships etc)..and when he got to France he then Mt biked to the center of Paris.

He did this because his good friend and neighbor Don King (the famous water cameraman) had an autistic child and wanted to make a film about it but could not get the money to do it..So Laird stepped up..and did the channel thing to raise money for him....What a guy.

Don's film is called "Beautiful Son"..Goole it and watch the trailer..but have the tissues handy..it's very sad..I've not seen the finished film.

Oh yeah....Anyone into Laird should check out his latest DVD.."All aboard the crazy train"...It's brilliant...and even has some SUP'ing in it..

The opposition is not happy I even mentioned it
