Just for a little random information at the start of RAAM in Oceanside. Laird Hamilton (former professional surfer) is only a team with two other younger surfers between ages 28 and 38, and a 76 year old. Laird is stated as being 48.
Due to Laird being there and in the race his wife Gabriel Reese (former professional volleyball player and model) :).
We battled team "Surfing U.S.A." on through the Arizona desert and mountains before they were able to pull away for good. Adam trying to demonstrate how to ascent a steep climb to Laird, however, Laird was very strong and didn't lose much ground, if any at all. Proving they are both great athletes. It's not everyday you get to race against a professional athlete, especially a surfer. They have one really strong rider in Jason Wynn. Even Adam admitted, "That guy is really fast!" and "Lean."-THE GOAT
