Pushing Limits in the Ocean and at Home

Laird Hamilton doesn’t just ride the world’s biggest waves—he’s out here teaching his daughters how to tackle life head-on, too. For the legendary surfer, fatherhood is about more than just cheering from the shore; it’s about leading by example.

“You can’t tell your kids to chase big goals if you’re not willing to take on challenges yourself,” Laird says. And he lives it. Whether he’s pushing the limits in the ocean or grinding through intense training sessions, he’s showing his kids what hard work and guts look like up close.

Laird’s not just raising surfers—he’s raising resilient humans. He’s teaching them to respect the waves and the wipeouts, because getting back up is what really matters. Give Laird a follow.
