"Once you eliminate the nonsurfing population, then weed out the uncommitted masses, the world becomes a very small place indeed."
 
"Five days at the San Miguel campground were more than I'd planned, as a result on my long-standing travel rule that dictates that one should never drive away from good surf."

"When you twist your body, you create tension and power. You have to do the same thing in surfing. In order to create power in surfing or pull the power from the wave, you sort of have to coil your body up and use that tension and force against that water."

"my dad always said that putting something as a sport is just putting it in a box, i love competing in a heat surfing and thats great but when it all comes down to it we're here to enjoy our life here on earth as it is, and surfing transcends me every single day and for surfing being able to do that for so many people's lives around the planet it ain't no sport" - Beau Young

"To be truly successful at riding a wave we're approaching a Zen state if mind, and that's why surfing, especially surfing well, is so satisfying. You've banished all those extraneous thoughts from your mind and you're in the pure moment. Other parts of your life might be in shambles, but because you're tapping into the source, you're truly happy."  -- Gerry Lopez
