Friday Flashback: ‘TAKE EVERY WAVE: THE LIFE OF LAIRD HAMILTON’

“Hamilton’s story is so filled with dramatic incident and personal and psychological complexity, not to mention spectacular visuals of waves upward of 100 feet tall, that it compels attention whether surfing means anything to you or not.” — Los Angeles Times


Our 2017 SummerDocs series included Rory Kennedy‘s documentary TAKE EVERY WAVE: THE LIFE OF LAIRD HAMILTON, which tracks the remarkable life and legendary career of the big wave surfer, weaving the past and present into an intimate and compelling portrait of a superstar athlete at the top of his game.

TAKE EVERY WAVE is now streaming on Hulu.


Following our outdoor SummerDocs screening, presented with The Purist on the deck at Gurney’s in Montauk, HamptonsFilm’s Alec Baldwin and David Nugent spoke with Rory Kennedy and Laird Hamilton under a gorgeous Hamptons night sky.

Enjoy the film and the conversation, and join us next Friday for another Friday Flashback movie + conversation…
