Motivation is temporary. Inspiration is permanent.

The joy of surfing is so many things combined, from the physical exertion of it, to the challenge of it, to the mental side of the sport.

Not to sound too deep or weird, but I think that the times when you really appreciate surfing are the times you're really sort of becoming one with nature. Surfing's as raw of a sport as it gets.

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.

I think when a surfer becomes a surfer, it's almost like an obligation to be an environmentalist at the same time.

Well I'm always working on constantly everything. I never take the approach that I'm doing as well as I possibly can... I always think there's more and I think if you don't have that, you are not driven to be better.

I still feel like my best surfing is ahead of me.
