"I'm proud to call the Jersey Shore my home. New Jersey is part of who I am and I am thankful for that. The waves might not be the best in the world, but I've found that if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. As Jersey surfers, we have to work harder and give a lot of ourselves to the ocean, but like anything in life, the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it."
