Maintaining marriage seems to be tougher than fatherhood: apparently its the most difficult thing in the world.

Fatherhood isn't always a planned thing, but when it happens you just do it. It's very natural and in that sense it's not really difficult.

I've always thought surfing is a reflection of who you are.

A wave isn't like a skate ramp or mountain; everything's moving around, and you have to time how to move along with it. That's easier with a slow wave.

Most anything I've ever set my mind to, I could accomplish.

I was stuck for 16 months without a win there, and now I've had five this year. Once you break that barrier for yourself it makes it easier; you're not thinking about it... It opened up the floodgate for me.

I didn't think that wave was going to offer a ton, ... But the wave just held form, and I was able to get a lot out of it.
