I've been in a poor physical shape many times in my career and I've had some of my best results. My best performances happened because my mind was in the right place. The mind is definitely stronger than the body.

Surfing is my religion, if I have one.

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.

J-Bay displays the best of people’s surfing.

For a surfer, it's never-ending. There's always some wave you want to surf.

It's like the mafia. Once you're in - your in. There's no getting out.
