TAKE EVERY WAVE: THE LIFE OF LAIRD HAMILTON – OPENING NIGHT

Date: April 20, 2017, Time: 7:30pm to 9

The remarkable story of the American icon and innovator who changed the sport of big wave surfing forever. Laird Hamilton is an athlete who refused to compete professionally, yet dominated and changed his sport like no other figure in history has ever done. This is an in-depth portrait of a hard-charging, driven athlete that explores the fear, courage, ambition and talent that push a man to greatness–and the cost that comes with it.
