I'm a surfer at heart. Both my parents moved to Hawaii in the 1970s, where they met and became Christians. Then they taught me and my two brothers how to love the Lord - and how to surf!

I guess I just like to challenge myself and push myself harder to do things that I dont think I can, to do things that other people do not think I can. It pushes me. I push my own personal limits.

You fall off the horse and you get back on.

Fear is something that can really hold us all back from different things in life. It's important to notice what your fears are and try to conquer them.

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

I could never have embraced this many people with two arms.

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