Love is bigger than any tidal wave or fear.

Besides surfing, I play tennis, volleyball, I swim, I run hills, or I do high-intensity, high-interval workouts. I'm up at 5 A.M. every day.

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

Both of my parents are surfers, of course, so they understood where my passion for surfing was at and I guess they saw the talent that I had.

I can't change it, That was God's plan for my life and I'm going to go with it.

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