Eight years, my ass!
Eight years, eight years,
eight years ...
You understand, we can augment
our abilities through technology, -
- but technology isn't everything.
You need speed and strength.
You must be quick and agile to fly,
and flexible, to reduce injury.
With big waves, you can be
held under for more than one wave.
You could be held under
for two waves.

You could even be held under
for three waves.
We understand the risks
in what we're up against.
We know exactly
what our bodies are able to do.
We practise extreme safety
when we're doing extreme things.
Technology brings surfing
to another dimension, -
- allowing a rider to match the
speed of a 50-foot wave at 35 mph.
But the question is,
at what price?
When only the most skilled
can survive, -
- to ride waves this big
is to put yourself in God's hands.
