Good review. I planned to get this book,so I'm glad it sounds good.
I know Laird. He is married to the equally famous Gabrielle Reece (they have at least one child, a son (named Reece), who could be the beginning of homo superior...)
Regarding big-wave surfing, I remember when Mark Foo tragically died surfing Maverick's. A huge loss in the surfing community. "Controlled falling" down a wall of water the size of a 6+ story building is no joke.
No kidding. I think Casey did a very good job at getting across the terrifying ridiculousness of what these guys do. I agree with Jon Stewart - he said that he was glad to get back to the chapters featuring the scientists just so he could relax a bit and think about something less stressful, like climate change.
