I do need to travel with a purpose, though. I can't go somewhere to just hang out with friends.

Travel's the great educator, especially for the girls. You can't put a value on it.

I need a big wave to really excel. The smaller stuff is a bit like...ballet for me.

California has more distractions, more activities for the kids, more driving.

For those searching for something more than just the norm. We lay it all down, including what others call sanity, for just a few moments on waves larger than life. We do this because we know there is still something greater than all of us. Something that inspires us spiritually. We start going down hill, when we stop taking risks.

People always ask me when they see me working out, "What are you training for?" The answer is I'm training for life.
