I don't know how long I'll be competing, but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.

There's no such thing as a handicap - it's all in your head

Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.

Surfing for me is more than my lifestyle; it's my passion, my love, and it's a part of me.

To lose your everyday life of surfing and being creative on waves, enjoying the ocean - that's scary to me. It was essential to at least try surfing again and get out there and see how it went.

Like, with one arm I know I can surf, but competitive surfing can be really frustrating, and sometimes you don't do as well as you want to. It can be discouraging at times. But whenever I do get frustrated, I just focus on God.
