Surfers are known for many things. Neck tans, sandy floorboards of aged pickup trucks, wax under fingernails, sea turtle shell moon sandals, dumb mouths, pterygiums, volume calculators, saltwater crust on favorite R. t-shirts, etc. They are not known for decadent bourgeois lifestyles but I suppose Laird Hamilton has always gone his own way.
The multi-disciplinary waterman never doesn’t fascinate. From inventing standup paddleboarding to re-defining what it means to work out in a swimming pool, Hamilton has made an indelible mark of our surfing world. When he speaks it behooves us to listen to the world’s sexist over-sixty year-old.
The latest wisdom pours from a Forbes interview wherein Hamilton shares travel secrets.
What are some?
Well, the best thing he ever ate was “unforgettably delicious fois gras from a farm restaurant in Bordeaux.” He typically flys first or biz class. His favorite piece of luggage is a Yves St. Laurent carry-on, he always brings Viennese lip balm, “radical moisturizer” and extra expensive non-fluoride toothpaste. He has a “luxury” pillow and enjoys macadamia nuts which are considered “the most expensive nut in the world.”
Would you have guessed that the adonis was so luxe?
Very cool.
