Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on March 02, 1964)

Happy Birthday to the legendary wave conqueror, Laird John Hamilton! You've spent decades riding giants and making jaws drop—literally at Jaws. Your fearless spirit on monster waves has inspired countless surfers (and terrified insurance companies). From pioneering tow-in surfing to mastering hydrofoil boards, your adventures have always been larger than life.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic swells, endless barrels, and minimal wipeouts. May your birthday be as thrilling as that iconic ride in "Riding Giants," but hopefully without any surprise hold-downs or sand-filled swimsuits this time around. Keep shredding those waves like only you can!
