Caption from the Pipe Dreams - A Surfers Journe: "I didn't start surfing because I expected to be my career. It was something I just had a good time doing. But once I started, I couldn't stop. Nothing compared to the thrill of riding waves, having the friendship and the lifestyle. I couldn't have imagined that the magazines I studied from cover to cover would become a scrapbook for my friends and me or that heroes I never thought I'd meet, let alone surf against, would eventually become my good friends. And I couldn't fathom that I would learn to thrive on the waves that scared me senseless." by Kelly Slater
