...than all the other natural wonders
in the world.

1:37:04
And I wanna see the biggest swells
every year.

1:37:07
Is this a natural wonder...
1:37:10
...as much as, say,
the Grand Canyon is?

1:37:13

pales compared to, like, Mavericks.

1:37:18
The Grand Canyon is just this

People accuse us of having ego,
but it's not all about ego.

1:37:26

1:37:54
...to a religious pursuit...
1:37:57

becomes paramount in your life...

1:38:10
...there's no such thing
as a surf bum.

At Teahupoo,
I had the little voice going:

1:38:31
"Jump off right now.
You're not gonna make this wave."

1:38:34
And another side of me going:
1:38:35
"Well, I can't make it
unless I just stay on."

1:38:38
What is it inside him
that lets him do that?

1:38:42
It was the third testicle
we had added at birth.

1:38:54
Cut. Roll them.
1:38:57
Action.
