My only real fear was that I would not be able to surf again because I was concerned that I would not physically be able to do it. I knew that if I wasn't able to surf then my life would really change.

Strive to find things to be thankful for and just look for the good in who you are!

Surfing for me is more than my lifestyle; it's my passion, my love and it's a part of me.

Being able to turn to Jesus after the shark attack kept me alive.

My belief is where I get my strength. When I'm struggling with something, I can go to him for help and I'm excited to share that.

Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.

My favorite thing [about surfing] is being creative on waves; it's like an art form. You can do whatever you want on that wave if you work hard at it and just have fun out there.
