I wasn't born a world champion. I just worked really hard to become one.

Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, what do I want? The first thing that comes to mind is always the right one.

If you are doing what you love then you're doing what is right. Desire and passion resonate with your body, mind and soul. When you're passionate you don't question, judge, criticize, second-guess, or doubt. It's that passion that will fuel the fire to overcome challenges.

It's not so much what you do, it's just how well you do it, and that you do, do it.

I haven`t prepared as much as I would like to but it will be fun to get out there again. I have nothing left to prove in surfing but still have the desire to keep going.
