Surfing idol Laird Hamilton knows how to look good when he's riding a wave. He also looks pretty good on the beach. And he wants to make sure surfers all over are able to look good, too, while saving their pennies for new surf boards and Sex Wax.Laird has come out with a line of surfing-inspired clothing that will be available at Steve & Barry's, and all pieces will sell for under $9.98. The slogan behind the clothing (and Laird's personal motto) is "We are all equal before a wave."

But seriously, we think the idea is awesome, and the clothes are pretty cool and beachy. Way to go, Laird!
