Laird Hamilton's modeling career

When Laird was 16 years, he left his high school to pursue a career in modeling. 

Luckily, when he was 17, he was clicked by a photographer from the Italian Men's Box Magazine L'Vomo Vogue. 

This unknowingly done photoshoot helped him grab the Modeling Contract, and in 1983, he got a photoshoot with actress Brooke Shields. 

Not only modeling but he was also featured in movies, such as 'North Shore' and 'Moving Target.'  He was last seen in 'The Descendants' and 'Point Break.' 

He is even seen as a guest's appearance in shows and documentaries such as 'Riding Giants,' 'Water Man, 'Spirit of Evolution' and many others.

Wiki: Early and present career

Maria used to do gymnastics before she was introduced to surfing when she was 13. Since then, she has been following this profession passionately. 

She is the first woman to low-in to the powerful waves of Peahi, Maui, which is also known as Jaws. She is trained with almost all types of surfing. 

She used to train people in tow-in-surfing, foil surfing, windsurfing, kite-boarding, Hawaiian Canoe, tandem surfing, and stand-up paddle. 

Now she is specialized and can provide training on Stand-up paddling, SUP Downwind, SUP surfing, SUP yoga, SUP racing, and big wave surfing.

Along with surfing, yoga, and paddling, she is also a physical and emotional therapist and personal trainer for athletes. 

Additionally, she also joined college for a marketing lesson and a designer of a line of ocean wear. 

Unsuccessful married life

Although Maria has a successful career, she remained unsuccessful in handling her married life. She was married to Laird Hamilton in 1992. 

The couple enjoyed their married life together for three years. After that, they parted away and had their divorce in 1995.

 After her first unsuccessful married life, she was not seen with anyone. 

Nor are there any rumors of her linkage to another man. Thus, she decided not to get married again. 

Next wedding with a Volleyball player

Although Maria does not look for the next man, Laird has found a new love to cherish in his life. 

Now, he is with Gabrielle Reece, who is an American professional volleyball player, sports announcer, and actress. 

Apart from playing career, she is a fashion model and promoter of brands such as Ebel sportwave, Nike sportswear, Dannon Light, eBags.com, and Pure Via. 

The couple held their wedding nuptials on November 30, 1997. 

The ex-husband is a great surfer.

Before entering the modeling world, Maria's husband, Laird, was already an established surfer. 

In 1990, Laird made headlines as the first surfer to compete in a 360-degree loop while strapped to his board. 

Her husband is regarded as a great surfer of all time because of his regular surfing at 35 feet tall and with a speed of 30 miles an hour. 

But he takes surfing as an artistic work instead of having a professional career in it. 

He was reluctant to compete in surfing contests as he was fed up watching politics going on in the surfing contest and the random luck of waves in the organized Championship. 

He is even recognized as the inventor of the foil board, which helped the surfer to perform better in the water.

Her ex-spouse’s intense diet

Laird Hamilton talked about his diet. Laird stated that his diet is pretty diverse. He mentioned that plants and animals are his love. 

He admitted to having a lot of fats like coconut oil, olive oil, and avocados. And he admitted to having love with Mac and that Mac nuts and the stuff containing high-fat content. 

He confronted himself with being a fat-adapted system. 

That system uses fat as an energy source, so fat as his energy source is much denser energy and burns more endurance and ultimately, your brain is a fatty eating organ, so your brain eats fats so for mental focus and clarity, people like him with a D D and C D D and all other abbreviates too; he added. 

He continued that it’s great to focus for mental clarity and focus, which at the end of the day affects moods. 

He also showed the red palm coconut oil, turmeric, cream he uses in his coffee, and many more. 

He shared his coffee recipes, saying he puts raw butter, red palm, coconut oil, and creamer. 

He mentioned having different types of cream like original creamer, including aqua mine, which is a calcified sea algae and having coconut oil and milk powder all combined. 

He also shared that by having that drink, he could run a marathon without eating anything for five hours straight, saying it’s all about fat and how fat is being used as fuel. 

So, he consumes 50-60 gm fat in the morning, then have his first meal of the day, which is full of protein, and then cam bucho. To know more, watch the video down below.
