If you eat the same cereal every day it's gonna get old. And if I had thought about snowboarding every day, I would have quit a long time ago.

I couldn't do my homework if my room wasn't clean. And it has carried on now that I am older, in a very freakish way.

I've always been under the impression that it would be such a bummer to be in a peaceful place like Hawaii or the tropics and be stressed about catching waves.

I just want to be the guy that inspires other kids to come do what I'm doing.

I've got to stand up for the sport.

My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous.

I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.
