“I’d never been so stoked or so enthused about boards or board shaping or just the feel of boards as when I started on the 11 ft board, in the 90s. The feeling and the glide. I think you get tighter to a wave with a big board, if you have a perfect wave, than with a short board.””

“Be patient. Be observant. Keep your eye on the other guys in the water too because they may need your help. It’s not all about you. It’s about surfing in harmony not just with nature, but with everyone else you are surfing with.””

— PAUL STRAUCH, PODALOHA
