Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on July 19, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Shane! May your day be as epic and unforgettable as those legendary waves at Teahupoo that you conquered in "Solid: The Two Days That Teahupoo Blew Minds." Seriously, most people just watch from shore—you're out there casually redefining what's humanly possible on water.

Here's hoping this year brings even more thrilling rides and fewer wipeouts (though let's face it, your wipeouts are still cooler than our best days). Keep inspiring us all with your fearless spirit and unmatched style. Cheers to another year of chasing giants—and making the impossible look easy!
