What should I get Laird to sign?

Postby BaNZ » Tue Oct 03, 2017 2:44 pm

Laird Hamilton will be in NYC for his movie screening and I'm definitely going. I don't think I'll be able to carry a surfboard into the cinema so there goes my plan. I might buy his book and ask him to sign that! Or any other suggestions?

Book would be good. You know he has his own little commercial entity. He sells a lot of stuff. I used to have a hat and a coffee cup that said "Blame Laird". That was my favorite coffee cup for the longest time. I currently have a photo of Laird on the Millennial Wave at Teahupoo (it's signed) but he sells that too. He probably sells signed copies of his book.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Have him sign the boulder you brought up from the bottom of the ocean that you train with.

I like wkk's suggestion.

another option is the movie 'Riding Giants'. Although finding an actual physical copy of a movie nowadays might be hard! But some covers have Laird on the front

But a poster is good if you want to put it on your wall.

If you want to get in shape he offers training at various locations http://www.xptlife.com/product-category/experiences/ He is super fit which helps him survive big waves. But he just had a artificial hip replacement surgery so not too sure how much big waves he is doing now. However if anyone can do big waves after hip replacement surgery it would be him. He was also in the Descendants which was filmed here on Kauai

At first I thought you were asking what he should write! Maybe something like, "Banz, you still have a single fin mentality!" :lol:

Guess I'd try to bring my board there but the person who would sit behind me in the movie would probably hate it!

a surfboard fin. Medium to small. Easy to carry and easy to frame in glass. Bring fat magic marker for Laird's use. Nothing worse than not having a writing utensil at a time like this!

Ooh, that's the Chuck Norris model. They're pretty rare these days. Gotta get 'em on Ebay.

I was going to say a poster or a photo so you can frame it later, but the fin is even better. So classy and surfer-like!

The fin idea is great but I won't be able to receive the fin in time.

I was thinking of getting my gf but then she doesn't know anything about Laird.

Rachael, so you fancy getting your boobies signed by Laird?

oh yeah - that would be very exciting!!! not even a little. :lol: :roll:

just get a fin from a surf shop. Breakwater sells them - I'll be at Rockaway tomorrow. I messaged you but you must be busy signing your own girlfriend's boobies.
