Why do you surf? Because earthbound worries disappears when I paddle out. Because nothing could introduce
me to the kind of hip 65 year old longboarder to an articulate 16 year old hotshot whom I would invite to the same
party. Because of the life long friends I have made from all walks of life. Because of the overwhelming feeling I get
watching a sunset from the line up, because one good wave, just one, can made the whole day worthwhile...
Oh, I also surf to get tan.

Biggest Fear: Missing out on living life

If you had one wish, what would it be? (No wishing for more wishes)
I wish I could fly so I wouldn't have to buy plane tickets.

Where would you like be in 10 years time?
The same way I am now, incredibly content. I don't look into the future too
much because anything can happen. I give my attention to this moment and right now.
The present.

Where is your favourite place on earth? Hawaii. It's like everything has been turned up a couple of notches.
The colour of the ocean, the warmth and hospitality of the people, the mountains, trees and flowers.

When I'm not surfing, I'm: Trying to solve the secrets of the universe.
