Since I am addicted to HD television I often check out some random programs. A few weeks ago I came across the Iconoclasts series that is on Sundance channel. Basically they capture two famous people from different professions and film their conversations and hanging out for a few days. It seems that the matches often have some sort of history together as well. The episode that I watched was Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam and surfer Laird Hamilton. The two guys surf together in Hawaii and Laird goes to California to watch one of Vedder's shows. I love how Eddie Vedder's voice when he talks is exactly like when he sings. He has some wierd earthy beliefs but it is cool to hear him talk about life and surfing. Laird is just straight up ripped. I didn't know that you needed to be that ripped to surf but it can't hurt. Having Gabrielle Reece as a wife and living in Maui can't be too tough either.
Laird Hamilton Trivia - Was Kevin Costner's stunt double in Waterworld (my favorite movie that critics hammered). Appeared in the opening scene of the Bond movie Die Another Day.
