"I surf every day. Sometimes I do a little elliptical training but I don't do weights or run or anything like that. Surfing is hard and I'm trying to get better. I train on my own but my dad helps me, as well as Russell Lewis, who is a coach for the Hanalei Surf Company. I'm on their girls' team."

"The best surf advice I've ever been given is 'when you're out in the contest, relax and just have fun.' Right now I'm working on trying to get air...it's pretty hard."
