“I love nature and the ocean is my second home… sometimes I think maybe it is my first home. Being one with the ocean and enjoying the flow of the ocean is what I feel life is very similar to. There are ups and downs in life like there are with the waves. I just go with the flow!”

“For me, surfing is a way of life, everything revolves around the ocean for me. I love riding the ocean swells and harnessing the ocean’s energy. It’s an amazing feeling. A feeling I love to share with others.”
