ESPN Body Issue – Laird Hamilton + Gabby Reece

Laird Hamilton needs little introduction. The longtime professional surfer has been a freak of physical nature since he emerged on the scene in the 80s as the hated wunderkind Lance Burkardt in the Hollywood surf flick, The North Shore. Since then Hamilton has moved away from competitive surfing to pursue grander goals of big wave surfing, innovative tow ins, hydrofoils, jet boards and even overland golf boards. Hamilton recently made a cameo in the trailer of the new surf epic, Point Break, due to hit theaters this December. Hamilton married former professional volleyball player Gabby Reece who is also a physical specimen. The two of them are like real-life superheroes and also have children, which might actually be true superhuman. Time will tell. In the meantime, bow before “Lord Hamilton” and “Lady Reece.”
