I'm actually not star-struck... I like to give people their own space and admire them from a distance.

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

Our health and well-being is something that we can almost control, to a certain extent. We can choose to eat healthy, we can choose to think positively, and we can choose to have good posture. All this stuff makes a difference, and the way that you look and feel, and your confidence.

Losing an arm is kinda lame at one point, but at the same time, so much good has come out of it.

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.

The end...is just the beginning

I just love being on the ocean and being creative on the waves and the feeling you get when you're surfing. All around it's beautiful and fun.
