They're engrained in your brain,
just like your child being born.

I haven't missed a swell in 55 years.
1:34:15
I'm still as excited about surfing
as I've ever been.

1:34:18
I literally run to the water with my
board, hooting, laughing and giggling.

1:34:28
Centuries ago, a young Hawaiian
stood up on his surfboard...

1:34:31
... and slid gently across the face
of a breaking wave.

1:34:36
That same wave
has rolled through time...

1:34:39
... crossing many oceans,
bearing the giants of surfing...

1:34:43
... from King Kamehameha
to Duke Kahanamoku...

1:34:46
... from George Downing
to Greg Noll...

1:34:50
... from Jeff Clark to Laird Hamilton...
1:34:53
... sweeping them all toward
that most supreme pleasure...

1:34:56
... driven on so fast and smoothly
by the sea.
