A Quote by Chris Carter

I've been asked to do surfing movies over the years and offered several opportunities. I just felt that if I were to do one, I'd have to do the perfect surfing movie. And I don't know if that exists because surfing is such a personal thing.

The best version of surfing is not competing, I think. It's just... it's perfect. You're perfectly present. You're perfectly in the moment. You're perfectly not thinking about anything else in the world. You're just surfing. You're surfing away with your friends or your family, and that's it. You're just there.

I was picking up surfing, which I also fell in love with. Then I was like, man, to combine the two [free ride and surfing ] would be perfect.

Travis Rice

One thing you learn from surfing is how to operate in the present. It's really what the surfing experience is all about.

Gerry Lopez

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

Bethany Hamilton

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

Bethany Hamilton

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

For me, skateboarding started in 1965, so by the time the Dogtown era came around I'd already been skatin' for 10 years. When I started it was clay wheels and mostly home made decks. We were just trying to copy surfing. Everything about skateboarding had to do with surfing. It was all about fun and a way to surf when the waves were shitty.

Jay Adams

Surfing frees everything up. It's just the best soul fix. Life should be stress free, and that's what surfing is all about.

Surfing and music have always been two completely separate things in my life, and a lot of people, especially in the UK, don't really get surfing very much. They think it's the Californian dream. They're like, "Oh, so you're a surfer and you're this and that," and it's like, I go surfing because I like the outdoors. In England it's freezing cold, and it's usually dark and raining and it's the middle of winter, and you do it because it's invigorating. It's like going on a walk in some remote place on the planet. It's really - it's not very glamorous.

Every part of me is a surfer. I love surfing, and I love the waves that I surf. So that's the thing that I get excited about most: What kind of waves am I going to be able to surf? Am I going to be surfing alone, or will we be surfing waves that no one's surfed before? Second to that is photography.

It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too.

George Eads

They call it 'surfing' the net. It's not surfing. It's typing in your bedroom

Jack Dee

All I care about, to be honest, is surfing. I love surfing more than anything. To me, there's nothing like that.

Brody Jenner

For me surfing is just something that I love to do. I grew up surfing, is sort of like a family requirement. I can't imagine my life without it. But I am not defined by it, nor is my music. They are very separate.

Kite surfing is a great way of keeping fit. Kiting is great because you're bouncing over the waves and you're surfing the waves. I do quite long kite surfs-50 miles in a day.
