Thank the Laird
« on: February 17, 2011, 06:59:59 AM »
Not that Laird needs any more kudos, but I only learned to SUP 15 months ago and I am hooked. 

Laird no doubt led the way to motivating the few people who have paid it forward to me: Rich, Mark, Haley, Ian, Jeff and Cassandra.   

Attached is a tribute to my stoke, Laird and our shared commitment to autism.  As the parent of a beautiful son (on the spectrum) this sport, and being scared a little each day, has helped to turn dark dreams into beautiful days.

Enjoy!

Some great angles on that.  Particularly the wipeouts.  Nice waves too.

Definitely one of the better gopro videos I've seen of any sport. I wonder what it would look like if you painted the shaft of your paddle green and greenscreened it out?

Nice shooting! The falling looked so good from the camera POV. Great Job!

Killer Vid Bro!  Thanks for sharing with us.  Quick question.  How do you make falling look like so much fun?  I'm actually now looking at learning to bail with style.

Beasho, where are you surfing?  Great job on the video.  I'll be adding it to the site as well for others to share in your stoke!
