My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13. – Shaun White
My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. Weve all been through so much together. – Shaun White
You know the best thing about competition? Theres this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and youre so happy. – Shaun White
Snowboardings tough, because youve got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I dont have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding. – Shaun White
