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.

Compassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.

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

It's easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.

I don't need easy, I just need possible.

Love is bigger than any tidal wave or fear.

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