Having the balance to be able to stay on the board in skating and surfing gives you all-around much better balance.
I trip walking down the stairs, but I can skate them probably.
Some people attach snowboards to their feet, very few attach them to their souls.
I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
Generally, I'm a pretty mellow guy.
You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling.
