"Nobody really inspired me to surf, I’ve always loved the ocean. The idea of ​​surfing was really a “wow thing” for me. I wish I had known about surfing when I was younger. Maybe I’ll get better. Now I’m not really good at it."

"Don’t be afraid. Just know the rules of surfing, know what to watch out for. Don’t be too cocky that you think you can do everything. Believe that Mother Nature is a lot stronger than you, you can’t fight her. You should know how to play on her playground."

"Just be strong, you can do it. And for me, ‘no day but today.’ If you want to learn to surf, do it today. Don’t put it off for tomorrow. Yes, it will be painful, there will be many injuries, many bruises, many reef cuts, many accidents that can happen, but I think that’s part of learning. Like with anything, it shouldn’t come easy."
