Surfing is a huge passion of mine. I'm and addict to it in a sense. I think it is a good addiction. I spend about anywhere from two to eight hours a day in the water when I am home. I enjoy competing and traveling. I don't know, I just like being in the ocean and enjoying God's creation. Just the adrenaline you get and its good exercise you get at the same time.

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.

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

Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.

Love God; love others; do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!

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.

It's been amazing to touch people's lives.
