Water Man

Laird Hamilton is known as the guiding genius of crossover board sports, and he is truly amazing in the water. His size -6’3”, 215 pounds - makes him seem indestructible. ‘Laird is the elder son of 60’s surfing legend, Bill Hamilton, and is a throw back to that time when surfers prided themselves on being an all-around waterman.’ His mother, Joann, gave birth to him in a “bathysphere” with reduced gravity as part of an experiment at the UC Medical Center in San Francisco.

Dave Kalama is an all around Hawaiian waterman who comes from a lineage of surfing champions. He began as a world champion windsurfer and has evolved into one of the premiere big-wave riders of our time and one of the pioneers of tow-in surfing. Dave is rejoining the Oxbow team, an authentic rider/action sports brand boasting a rich 25-year history with internationally recognized athletes, as a sponsored rider and as a sales representative of Oxbow’s wetsuit and clothing lines. World-renowned surfer, Gerry Lopez, describes Dave’s style in and out of the water.
