Big Wave Surfer Laird Hamilton and Steve & Barry's Launch
The Wonderwall™ Collection, A New Surf & Skate Apparel Line

Line Includes Unique Tee That Will Benefit Autism Awareness & Help for Families

Laird Hamilton on surfboardThe world’s greatest big wave surfer and epic waterman Laird Hamilton is teaming up with Steve & Barry’s to launch the WONDERWALL collection, a surf and skate apparel line for men that will debut May 15, 2008. A water sports pioneer with an unquenchable thirst for adrenaline, Hamilton is known for pushing the boundaries of water sports with awe-inspiring feats. He was the first to complete a 360-degree loop on a surfboard, created tow-in surfing to tackle huge waves such as massive 70-footers, and made marathon-like paddleboard journeys around the world. The WONDERWALL collection represents Hamilton’s first clothing line, inspired by his sense of style, attitude and overall approach to life.

Hamilton partnered with a team of Steve & Barry’s designers to create a cool and comfortable collection of high quality graphic t-shirts, board shorts, woven shirts, cargo shorts, accessories and much more.  Authenticity and utility are of the utmost importance to Hamilton, who has put his signature board shorts to the ultimate test during his daily surfing and workout routine.  The 165-item WONDERWALL collection will be sold exclusively at all STEVE & BARRY’S locations, with every item priced at $9.98 or less. Visit www.thisiswonderwall.com for more information on the line and store locations.

The line plays on the themes and colors of natural environments such as Maui, where Hamilton grew up and still resides with his wife, professional volleyball player and model Gabrielle Reece, and their daughters. Over 30 original graphic t-shirts in the collection play off Hamilton’s approach to life, such as his personal tagline, “Every man is equal before a wave.” Board shorts featuring edgy and artistic details are also at the core of the collection.

Hamilton said, “Wonderwall represents everything I’m about – not only what I wear in and out of the water every day, but also those aspects of life that I’m most passionate about. I’m excited to work with Steve & Barry’s to create clothes that look great and are comfortable, but also affordable. Guys that live the surf and skate lifestyle want to spend their time tracking the next big swell or finding a new skatepark, not worrying about having enough money for t-shirts and shorts.”
