I've been surfing my whole life my dad
00:08
put me on a board when I was like three
00:09
years old and he actually went to Maui
00:11
to be a surf bum that's how it all kind
00:13
of started my big competition is surfing
00:15
when I was little but it was just my
00:17
love of it and I was like I just want to
00:19
do it for fun I even loved getting
00:20
pounded out there you know like I just
00:23
love the feel of posing and you know
00:26
kind of in touch with mother nature we
00:37
come to the beach to have fun to relax I
00:40
came here for everything I came here for
00:41
my friends and just the beautiful
00:43
weather and the ocean and the atmosphere
00:45
kind and outgoing super spontaneous like
00:48
people just riding their bikes going to
00:50
the beach we live about 20 minutes from
00:52
Zion National Park in Utah and we love
00:56
it there it's super beautiful but it's
00:58
good to come here because it's a change
01:00
of scenery for me it's just fun it's a
01:02
lifestyle you've got to do a sport and
01:05
be a kata with nature with Beach for me
01:08
just give me energy
01:13
we actually are pretty busy people we
01:16
own our own restaurants so being at the
01:18
beach kind of takes us away from that
01:20
setting of being stressed and everything
01:23
so we're here we're actually enjoying it
01:25
we're having fun we're meeting new
01:26
people and you know we're just loving
01:29
the vibe lets us just take our mind off
01:32
and sit in the ocean and surf and enjoy
01:35
the times well whenever I'm in the water
01:37
it's like it takes all my thoughts away
01:40
it's my meditation in a sense where I'm
01:42
not thinking of anything that I have to
01:44
do or like all my problems I don't like
01:48
big that when tomorrow the water
01:51
the first time i paddleboarded it was
01:54
just like a time in my life where I felt
01:56
like I needed something new when I tried
01:58
it the first time it wasn't scary it was
02:01
more of like either I had a lot of
02:03
adrenaline like I just wanted to do it
02:04
so bad that when I got on you know it
02:07
was like a it was like a yeah like I
02:09
accomplished something if I have to go
02:11
sure if I have to like you know tell
02:13
everybody I love that I want to do all
02:15
these things because I know life is so
02:17
short it's just that kind of way of life
02:19
you know
02:20
