...trying his hand at acting. Just saw him pop his head up in The Descendants. Supposed to be a good moofie, at least according to the wife (that means it's probably ****e :>)

If you look real hard, Todd Bradley has a short cameo as well.

BTW, everyone I was with thought the movie was ****e!!!

There's a blast from the past! I dare say his acting skills have not improved

It's a pretty good movie but very sad.
He was playing himself, is that acting?

Very good movie.
I think he was dating Brooke Shields in the nineties.
Still remember that jump of his in Rigmaroll which has probably never been bettered as far as ws movies go.

Jason priors one handed forward at the end of rigmarole was the sickest thing IDE seen. Only ever seen one other person do them that good.......Dave Bassetti. Crazy f$&ker!

Thats the clip, the first part of the sequence is a 2:00 and the jump is at the end. From memory he bails out before the landing so it's not the jump from 3:20. Dont know why they cut it short.

Wait wait...
So, off top of my head/could be wrong:

First to windsurf Jaws,
First to windsurf Brooke Shields,
in the movie North Shore,
The fn Millennium Wave,
SUP champion,
in the movie The Descendents.

That's not a bad CV.

I heard that it was actually Mark Pedereson who first sailed Jaws along with Laird.

First to sail Jaws was Dave Kalama, Brett Lickle and Hedgie.
They sailed up from Hookipa.

Classic photo Raf, the good old days!!
