That’s up to your perception. He challenges himself, and he challenges those around him. He shows us that the deeper we puncture into life, the more vibrant the colors get. The Laird Hamilton I know-real, faulty, moody, deeply loving, and communal-comes through on every page ofLiferider.“-Josh Brolin, Award-Winning Actor”Laird Hamilton is a true individualist unafraid to carve his own path. These thoughtful mediationsoffer a unique window - illuminating and inspiring - into one of America’s great innovators.“-Rory Kennedy, Documentary Filmmaker

Critics Review
“A powerful message from Laird on what it means to ‘go beyond’ and how it can be applied by all. He hones in on the dualities of life and death, focusing on what’s most important: making the most of the time we have, and living aloha, connected to and caring for each other and our environment.”—Tulsi Gabbard, Congresswoman serving Hawaii’s 2nd district
“This book is like a one-on-one chat with Laird, a personal conversation about his philosophies. You can’t be champ without an untamable fire inside, and you can feel that here. His spirit is raw and to the point. As athletes retire and sail into the sunset, Laird keeps pushing, finding and finding new ways to improve.”—Joakim Noah, Two-time NBA All-Star
