Fuel Up by Laird Hamilton
Best known for riding the biggest waves the world over, in his first-ever cookbook, surf icon Laird Hamilton opens his kitchen and shares his healthy and exotic recipes garnered from a lifetime of far-out travels. From the Wild Coast of South Africa to the Gold Coast of Australia, Laird's novel take on food and life is synthesized in a cookbook unlike any other that invites readers to master both themselves and the world, through the art of fueling upLaird Hamilton is regarded as the pioneer of crossover board sports, and he is genuinely incredible on the water. His stature--he's 6'3 and weighs over 215 pounds--makes him appear unbreakable. Laird Hamilton, the elder son of legendary surfer Bill Hamilton from the 1960s, is a throwback to a time when surfers were proud to be all-around watermen. JoAnn gave birth to him in a bathysphere with reduced gravity as part of a study at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. When Laird was just a few months old, JoAnn, who was also a surfer, decided to relocate the family from California to Hawaii.
They lived on Oahu's North Shore for a while, then in a lonely valley on Kauai, close to one of the world's top surf breaks. At the ages of 2 and 3, he learnt to surf on the front half of a surfboard, and at the age of 8, his father led him to Waimea Falls' 6-foot precipice, where Laird glanced down, looked back at his father, and jumped. Bill claims he's been fearless from the start, hell-bent on living life to the fullest. With his wife and three daughters, he splits his time between Hawaii and California.
