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

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.

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.

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

Surfing is my religion, if I have one.

This was the most emotional title of my career. I was the youngest champion, and now I'm the oldest.

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