I surf because it’s fun and it makes me feel good. Riding a wave is the best experience and everyday is different as surf conditions change all the time. It’s not just exercise, it’s good for body and mind. Whatever I have on my mind goes away as soon as I paddle out. It clears my head.  

Best thing about being a surf instructor? 

It’s good to be in the water every day. Seeing people’s face and enthusiasm when they catch their first wave is very rewarding. Every time it reminds me of my first wave.
