Quotes from Ratty:
"Surfing is so diverse and there's always a challenge. I've been pretty good at the sport ever since I was a kid, but I was always like the second, third, or fourth place guy. There's always something that you work on that you personally wanna do better."

"The van life thing has worked out. I'm really comfortable. I don't feel like I'm lacking anything, to be honest with you."

"You have to have that stoke. Once you've had a good wipe out and you overcome those fears, you're like, that wasn't so bad."
