I'd love to compete in the Summer Olympics.

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when I was one, I had surgeries and stuff.

My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.
Shaun White

Shaun White
Surfers have the most attitude.
