I was just living in the moment, ... That's something I've been trying to do this year. I wasn't worried about anything that I couldn't control. |
If I were to win on the Gold Coast, I think it would probably force me to look at going for another world title. At this point, I really don't know what I'm going to do. |
It may have been one wave in one heat but by him winning he gained 178 points on me and if I'd won I would have moved (further) ahead, |
It was a fun trip for her. |
It's a magical start. It kind of gives me a nice little cushion there. If I just surf loose and get another result or two, then everything's lined up real good for the start of the year. |
It's all about where your mind's at, |
It's funny because depending on the day or where we are, my favorite surfer is either Andy or Bruce. |
Now is the time to determine whether or not it will be a two-horse race for the title, |
so I won't miss my cartoons. |
Somewhat. For sure, it's a great start. |
This was the most emotional title of my career. I was the youngest champion, and now I'm the oldest. |
To receive a 10-point ride is a blessing in itself, but to have it honored by giving to those who could use a little support to accomplish the things they want to do in life is a bigger blessing. The school is something I believe hugely in. They provide a special place for kids to understand things that many people avoid or never learn to deal with their whole lives. |
What we're trying to do is create futuristic surf communities. |
When I started surfing, I'd forget about everyone and everything and just go out and surf, ... I surfed by myself, but surfing has allowed me to have friends around the world. It's an exciting time for me and I'm having fun. That's probably why I'm surfing so well. |
You can't kill this wave. You have got to work with it. I stayed relaxed and luckily had good surf. |
