World beard champion, 2009

Meet David Traver, world beard champion.

Traver's 20.5 inches of coarse kink, cultivated over 2½ years and fertilized in Anchorage's northern air, took the title on Saturday.



Traver was among 300 competitors from around the globe who converged there over the weekend for the 2009 World Beard and Moustache Championships. His beard, dyed several colours and woven into the shape of a snowshoe, beat more than 140 others to become the coolest beard in the world. He took home a commemorative gold pan and a salmon fishing trip.

And now he's going to shave it off.
