When you consider that surfing really
is, more than anything else, a faith...

1:38:05
...and devotion to that faith
becomes paramount in your life...

1:38:10

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

"Well, I can't make it
unless I just stay on."

The main thing is, you need
to be able to get rid of the leash...

1:39:29
Before 1994, it wasn't
really widely used.

1:39:32
After Mark Foo, everybody
out there has adapted to this...

1:39:36
...and we all use leashes,
and we all have a quick-release.

1:39:50
Even today, when I go
over there, to Waimea...

1:39:54
...you know, it just blows me away.
It's like...

1:39:57
...here she is,
the same beautiful woman...
