TRANSCRIPT

I started kind of, you know, getting more into the surfing and then when I moved to the U.S. a long time ago I was surfing so I went to California. Because I was going to go surfing in California that was my dream, but then I realized man the water’s just to cold! I hated cold water so it wasn't the idea I had. You know, sunny, warm, it completely changed.
