99 Quotes by Garrett McNamara

In Nazare, the ocean is known as a place of death, not of riding waves.

I always say it's not how big the wave is, it's how you ride it.

The scariest part is when you are coming down the wave and there is all this water coming down the wave and your feet are coming out of the straps.

I went to Alaska a while back and surfed the waves generated from a glacier calving and ever since then, I've never been afraid in the ocean.

Usually, I lead with my heart and feel my way through.

I keep trying to listen when I'm in a big wave, but I really don't hear anything.

I haven't been afraid in awhile, but whenever I am, I get a rush.

I used to not care if I died, but once I married and had children and became part of a big surfing community, that changed.

I'm not an adrenaline junkie; I won't jump out of aeroplanes and I'm afraid of horses. I just love surfing.
