Alot less rare among that age group than you might think. The boomers sure opened a Pandora's box in the 60's when they adopted the counterculture attitude in their youthful days. Little did they know it would come back to bite them on the arse in their post-Clinton old age when the new generation rebelled against the self-absorbed, feel-sorry-for-myself, victim complex typical of Beezulbubba and his peers.

The Hamilton family of Kauai is legendary in surfing. Billy, now @ 55-60 was one of the early modern style masters who built a business around his lifestyle. His son Laird is arguably the best waterman on the planet. I don't know if she's part of that clan but Kauai is a small island and Hamilton is not that common a name there. Either way she's got grit.
