If Helen were ever to leave me….


…it would be for this guy. And honestly, I have to admit I wouldn’t blame her! In the event that this face isn’t familiar to you, it belongs to the World’s greatest waterman of all time, Laird Hamilton. The name may ring a bell given his legendary status in Hawaii as the big wave rider, even among Hawaii’s surfing elite, or just because you’ve caught five or so minutes of the movie Riding Giants, which catalogs Mr. Hamilton riding 60 foot waves at Jaws! Suffice it to say that despite being 6,4” he looks like a regular guy, and was really easy to chat with despite being having conchos the size of coconuts! So on top of the celeb triathlon stars we had expected to see, this was an unexpected sighting of the first order!

OH, no worries there Scott. You got a pair of Conchos to rival any number of Laird Hammy's. And I know cause they were all too present on the documentation of the old 66th st. pyramid project. Even the ancient Egyptians would have marveled at the sight!!
