“A lot of times I'll see guys who are nowhere near the level of the boa...” — Kelly Slater Quote

“A lot of times I'll see guys who are nowhere near the level of the board they're riding. They might love surfing and love how it looks, but you really have to work your way up. It takes eating a little humble pie at first, and stepping back to equipment that might be a bit slow, but do it.”

“There are so many different elements to surfing. Small waves, big waves, long boards, short boards. This makes it a sport you can share with people. It's not just a solitary thing - it's become a family thing, too. It's about exercising and passing something on from father to son, and from mother to daughter.”

“I believe a board in a small startup company should never vote on anything.”

“Because most startups are lean and scrappy organizations consisting of a limited number of people and supported by an even smaller number of resources, startups cannot afford to have any slackers on board. When you fail, you cause an 'epic failure,' and when you win, everyone in the company knows about it.”

“Anything that has to do with Disney and Pixar, I am on board with. That is where my heart and family are. So when they call, I jump.”
