I like surfers. Their imagery, it's great.

For a surfer, it's never-ending. There's always some wave you want to surf.

I'm actually a very bad surfer, which is good because everybody likes a bad surfer. Nobody likes a good surfer.

I'm a pretty basic surfer.

I think it doesn't matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I'm going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It's not all about competing and being the best. It's more about having fun and just doing what you love.

I am a surfer, though quite a poor one.

I was a good surfer because we grew up a block from the water, and my father took us to the ocean the way other fathers take their kids to the park.

Surfing is such an amazing concept. You're taking on Nature with a little stick and saying, 'I'm gonna ride you!' And a lot of times Nature says, 'No you're not!' and crashes you to the bottom.

Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That's what surfers do - take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control. In the last few thousand years, we've become incredibly adept technically. We've treasured the controlling part of ourselves and neglected the surrendering part.

Surfing is simply the most fun I know how to have on this planet.
