This was definitely real. Here is a link to another video of the entire day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogvUnZ0jTss

1) It's spelled teahupoo, not "chupo"
2) Laird actually cried after he rode his brilliant wave
3) Laird's ride has been beaten recently.

"don't criticize what you can't understand" - not that I understand it. Upvote!

I've never surfed, never plan to surf. I love this movie and usually watch every minute whenever I come across it on TV. It doesn't take a surfer to watch footage of Teahupoo and realize that being inside the break there has to be one of the scariest things a person can do on this planet.

goofball_jones I usually try to abstain from personal attacks because I enjoy cutting down those that I think can appreciate a good ribbing, but you're worthless dude, go away, nobody wants to know what you think. You're a troll. You're the antithesis of what this site is about and quite honestly I think you're a little bitch.

Normally people would get on a member for such a personal attack, but I'm sure there's more people here that agree with me than disagree.

That being said, awesome video.

lol - that's like saying "it's a guy in a car driving" after watching Graham Hill at Monaco.
