Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on March 02, 1964)

Happy birthday to the legendary wave conqueror, Laird Hamilton! The man who saw Teahupo'o—the planet's fiercest wave—and thought, "Sure, looks like fun." Your epic ride in 2000 didn't just rewrite surfing history; it left Poseidon himself wondering if he needed swimming lessons.

Even today, you continue defying gravity and logic with ease. While most of us debate getting off the couch, you're out there surfing waves bigger than our ambitions! Here's wishing a fantastic birthday filled with laughter, adventure, and maybe—not guaranteeing anything—a slightly smaller wave for once. Keep making mere mortals jealous; stay awesome, Laird!
