“I could never have embraced this many people with two arms.”

Surfing is very special and unique. It’s really hard to explain unless you’ve tried it. It’s being out in the ocean in the sun, the water on your skin, and the adrenalin rush when you catch a wave. You have to be creative so it’s like an art form in a way.

I’m just waiting for God to tell me what to do, but whatever it is, I want to be doing something like I am doing now-serving God and helping people.

Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.

I think it doesn’t matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I’m going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It’s not all about competing and being the best. It’s more about having fun and just doing what you love.

I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water.

Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.

In the end, my love for surfing helped me overcome my fear of sharks.

There’s no such thing as a handicap – it’s all in your head

Being out there in the ocean, God’s creation, it’s like a gift He has given us to enjoy.

God created the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the waves for our enjoyment. Surfing is just my way of worshipping Him.

Doing everything with one arm, being well-known, and having a book and a movie, it’s fairly abnormal. As far as just not having to worry about past experiences, I’ve healed very well.

I think passion is something that’s more powerful than even love. It’s something that you’re not willing to let go of, and you’ll work really hard to make sure that stays a part of your life.

The paramedic whispered in my ear ‘God will never leave you or forsake you.’

I don’t really want people looking to me for inspiration. I just want to be a sign along the way that points toward Heaven.

My only real fear was that I would not be able to surf again because I was concerned that I would not physically be able to do it. I knew that if I wasn’t able to surf then my life would really change.

Both of my parents are surfers, of course, so they understood where my passion for surfing was at and I guess they saw the talent that I had.

Peaceful dreams find me pull me from reality in their arms I land.

And maybe my arms have grown too tired to hold this but my eyes will never stop searching for miracles.

Just you and only you. You fit so perfectly in my arms, in my bed and between my legs.

In the world full of chaos, being in your arms is the only place where I can find peace.

She used to sleep listening to his heartbeat on his arm.

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

These people are very unskilled in arms – with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished.

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
