I sat down in Malibu with the legend himself, Laird Hamilton. 

We got deep into Laird’s way of living, his philosophy on risk, fear, faith, confidence, and what it really means to carve your own path. Beyond being called The King of the Ocean, Laird is someone who has built a mindset and perspective that is unique to say the least. A lot of ah ha moments in this one. He is one wise man.
