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.
To lose your everyday life of surfing and being creative on waves, enjoying the ocean - that's scary to me. It was essential to at least try surfing again and get out there and see how it went.
I don't know how long I'll be competing, but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.

One thing you learn from surfing is how to operate in the present. It's really what the surfing experience is all about.
I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.
It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too.
All I care about, to be honest, is surfing. I love surfing more than anything. To me, there's nothing like that.
Think what we would have missed if we had never ... used a mobile phone or surfed the Net -- or, to be honest, listened to other people talking about surfing the Net.
Surfing frees everything up. It's just the best soul fix. Life should be stress free, and that's what surfing is all about.
It's the way surfing is - you grow up surfing together, and then you're thrown into a heat at Pipe or a world title bout against one another.
I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing - I think it would give me that extra confidence.
I feel like an ambassador for surfing at this point. I'm happy to go and play that role and share that where I can in certain areas of the mainstream media that doesn't get the surfing attention.
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.
There's a much bigger picture beyond surfing, its part of an ocean culture. Everything comes back to Mother Nature. Surfing is a way of connecting, and saying thanks.
