Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by Thylan.

This was definitely real. Here is a link to another video of the entire day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogvUnZ0jTss

1) It's spelled teahupoo, not "chupo"
2) Laird actually cried after he rode his brilliant wave
3) Laird's ride has been beaten recently.

THE SPORT OF KINGS!!!

Laird's the man.

Um...it's a guy on a surfboard...surfing a wave.

(yawn)

"don't criticize what you can't understand" - not that I understand it. Upvote!

I love this movie.

I've never surfed, never plan to surf. I love this movie and usually watch every minute whenever I come across it on TV. It doesn't take a surfer to watch footage of Teahupoo and realize that being inside the break there has to be one of the scariest things a person can do on this planet.

I love that movie! I just saw on TV lst night that the guy in the following link holds the world record.

goofball_jones I usually try to abstain from personal attacks because I enjoy cutting down those that I think can appreciate a good ribbing, but you're worthless dude, go away, nobody wants to know what you think. You're a troll. You're the antithesis of what this site is about and quite honestly I think you're a little bitch.

Normally people would get on a member for such a personal attack, but I'm sure there's more people here that agree with me than disagree.

That being said, awesome video.

lol - that's like saying "it's a guy in a car driving" after watching Graham Hill at Monaco.
