It is true Laird Hamilton is coming to Australia for the official Launch of Laird Standup into the country.
After a bunch of media commitments in Sydney on the 14-15 may he will be appearing at the Southern Cross SUP festival (a NSW State round event) on the 17th &18th May where you will be able to meet and hopefully see the legend of SUP in action.
The festival is a great event and well worth the effort to get there. Check out surfing NSW web site for details, should be a great weekend.
