Weekend quotes - Laird Hamilton

Fearlessness is ignorance, and it's a lack of respect - If you're not scared then you don't have

respect

. There's no way on earth you can go out and look at waves of that magnitude and not respect it enough to fear it.

This whole "no fear" concept—in a way, there is no such thing. If you don't have fear, then it's just a matter of time.

My favorite old saying is, "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots."
