On what is traditionally considered the last day of summer, the only Guilty Pleasures Monday choice that seemed right was the ultimate Boy of Summer — Laird Hamilton. Hamilton is known was one of the greatest big wave surfers if not one of the best all around surfers ever.
If you get a chance, check out the movies RIDING GIANTS and STEP INTO LIQUID.
I actually used Laird Hamilton as the inspiration for “surfer dude” NYPD Detective Peter Daly who appeared in TEMPTATION CALLS as well as a number of other novels in THE CALLING vampire series.
So, enjoy this last day of summer and a this little video tribute to Laird Hamilton.
