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."

Hamilton enjoys a huge fan base among people who crave extreme excitement and aspire to live the surf and skate lifestyle. Video highlights of his incredible feats on the water have been watched by millions on youtube.com, and his 2004 film Riding Giants is among the most successful surfing movies of all time.

Hamilton is perhaps most famous for creating tow-in surfing as a means to challenge the most treacherous and highest swelling waves in the ocean.

Tow-in surfing involves Hamilton and his surfboard being towed by a personal watercraft into a breaking wave where the wave is too large or moving too quickly for Laird to paddle into.

Not only does Hamilton possess a big appetite for challenging huge waves, he also has a big heart, and is using proceeds from the WONDERWALL collection to help battle autism.

The collection includes a unique, limited edition graphic t-shirt, with a portion of sales of the shirt supporting Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), an organization that provides information, resources, and support to families affected by autism.
