I think I'm one of the most fortunate people in the world. I travel around looking for the best waves and appreciate it every second.

My first encounter with the ocean was on the Jersey Shore when I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave. The ocean certainly got my attention! It wasn't frightening, it was more exhilarating.

The happiest times in my life were the days when I was traveling with Les Brown and his band.

Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.

I was so keen to get back to sea. I was rattled.

I loved the sound of the ocean, the breaking surf, the vastness, but still didn't feel terribly comfortable in it.

Back in 1995, I saw an incredible wave coming. The Internet. I knew I needed to be a part of it no matter what I did.

The happiest I have ever been is in the life that I led with my wife and kids.

I was proud of the waves I had made, but wondered how many boats I was supposed to rock.

I think the happiest time of my life was when I was in my late teens. I was a little bit of an it-girl. Making myself seen. And it was a wonderful time to be young.
