Are you kidding me? He surfs like he just turned 20. |
Every heat I'm in is an honor for him -- he's my motivation. |
Everyone agrees the level of surfing here this weekend was the highest they've seen. It was insane. |
I look at him as a surfing mentor. He put a lot of time into the young kids. He's one of the most surf-stoked guys I know. When surf's there, he's there. For me, the ultimate dream is to be a surfer for eternity, and he's on that path. |
I tell them to pursue their passion, don't let anyone stop you and don't give in to peer pressure. I've seen a lot of amazing surfers who should have been here (at this contest), but never made it because of drugs. And it's a shame. |
It's nice to see hip-hop covering their tracks. |
Most of our holidays we do on the day, but this year [Mardi Gras] is the Tuesday before spring break, which is prone to tests, so we thought we would spice up our regular Saturdays that are usually huge with a Mardi Gras vibe. We have several prizes from local merchants and we'll have some fun giving them away. |
