Tell us a bit more about how you got into surfing.

Why do you consider protein to be an important part of your diet?

Protein is what keeps your body strong as an athlete. Being a professional surfer, dealing with Mother Nature and the ocean, my body needs a lot of protein and endurance. The waves can get pretty intense and you always want to have your body in a strong state.
