What do big waves, a bond stuntman, and meatloaf have in common?

"Laird Hamilton is known as the guiding genius of cross over board sports, and he is truly amzaing in the water. His size - 6'3", 215 pounds - makes him seem indestructible. Laird is the elder son of sixties' surfing legend Bill Hamilton and is a throwback to that time when surfers prided themselves on being all-around watermen.

His mother, JoAnn, gave birth to him in a "bathysphere" with reduced gravity as part of an experiment at the UC Medical Center in San Francisco. JoAnn was also a surfer and decided to move the family from California to Hawaii when Laird was just a few months old. They lived on Oahu's North Shore and later in a remote valley on Kauai, not far from one of the world's best surf breaks.

He learned to surf between the ages of 2 and 3 on the front half of a surfboard; and at age 8, his father took him to the 60-foot cliff at Waimea Falls, where Laird looked down, looked back at his dad, and jumped. 'He's been bold since day one,' says Bill, 'and hell-bent on living life to the extreme.' He lives in Hawaii and California with his wife and three daughters." - Forces of Nature

Laird's Favorite Meat Loaf


Recipe courtesy of Gabrielle Reece, Forces of Nature

3 lbs 85% lean ground beef
1 lb organic turkey
2 cups canned corned
2 cups grated Cheddar
2 cups rolled oats
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 TBS olive oil
1 large onion, diced
Parchment paper (I used aluminum foil)
1 bunch kale
3 TBS barbeque/teriyaki sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine beef, turkey, corn, cheese, oats, eggs, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix.

Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring for 5 min until soft. Add to other ingredients and mix in.

Line 9" x 13" baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer meat mixture to pan and pack densely (mixture won't rise).

Peel kale stems and place over top of meat loaf so it forms a skin. Drizzle barbeque/teriyaki sauce over the top of kale in a grid patter. Bake for 1 hr 15 min, then remove from the oven and let sit in pan for 30 minutes. Serve from pan or transfer to platter.

YIELD: 8 TO 10 SERVINGS
