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

Like, with one arm I know I can surf, but competitive surfing can be really frustrating, and sometimes you don't do as well as you want to. It can be discouraging at times. But whenever I do get frustrated, I just focus on God.

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

There's no such thing as a handicap - it's all in your head

God created the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the waves for our enjoyment. Surfing is just my way of worshipping Him.

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

My strength came from my relationship with Christ and from the love and encouragement of my family and friends.
