"It’s a hard thing to find a good teacher, particularly in surfing, because everybody’s too busy surfing. It’s a pretty self-indulgent sport. And you don’t find a lot of people who have the qualities out there to give. Tim devoted the time to go out there and not go after every wave. Doing this at 53 or 54, and hopefully surfing for the rest of my life, I have a completely different take on how I want to surf. Tim was great to connect with because he has that gift of being a teacher. When you find someone like that, you stick next to them like a remora on a shark."

--Jimmy Buffett
