LAIRD HAMILTON
Age: 41
Raised: Oahu, Hawaii
Height: 6-3
Laird Hamilton is the King of Surf. He personifies "no fear" by taking on the world's biggest waves, like the unrippable Teahupoo and Peahi (these are the names of the big waves and also the beach/surf spots). With sun-bleached salted hair and the body of Achilles, he is incredibly sexy by all standards. Laird epitomizes man and nature.
Setting an unattainable feat in ripping tidal waves, Laird jumps 360 aerials in tow-surf off the Great Barrier Reef and advances the art of designing big-wave boards. He's also a champion sailboarder and has been lost at sea and survived to talk about it.
And what's sexier than a man with his little girl? He's often photographed with his darling toddler, Reece, and he's married to volleyball hottie Gabrielle Reece.
Besides gracing covers for magazines such as National Geographic, Outside, The Surfer's Journal, Men's Journal, Sports Illustrated, People (one of its 50 Most Beautiful People) and GQ, he recently spoke about environmental consciousness at the TIME Global Health Summit, where medical, political and business experts met to develop actions and solutions to the world's health crises.
