I don't know how long I'll be competing but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.

To lose your everyday life of surfing and being creative on waves, enjoying the ocean - that's scary to me. It was essential to at least try surfing again and get out there and see how it went.

You don't need easy, you just need possible.

I think it doesn't matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I'm going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It's not all about competing and being the best. It's more about having fun and just doing what you love.

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

In the end, my love for surfing helped me overcome my fear of sharks.

God has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
