“There are no more committed people on the planet than surfers. We fall down a lot. We turn around, paddle back out, and do it over and over again. Unlike anything else in life, the stoke of surfing is so high that the failures quickly fade from memory.” — Gary Sirota (surfer)
“I took off on a wave, went down the side, popped out the other end, and went, shit, I’m still alive!” — Greg Noll (on surfing Waimea Bay the first time)
“The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun.”
“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Surfing is very much like making love. It always feels good, no matter how many times you’ve done it.” – Paul Strauch
“Surfing, alone among sports, generates laughter at its very suggestion, and this is because it turns not a skill into an art, but an inexplicable and useless urge into a vital way of life.” – Matt Warshaw
“As for my own surfing, let’s just say that when the waves start pushing 10 feet, I get this tremendous urge to make a sandwich.” – Bruce Jenkins
“One of the greatest things about the sport of surfing is that you need only three things: your body, a surf-board, and a wave.” – Naima Green
“Out of water, I am nothing.” – Duke Kahanamoku
