It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and to do it on Australia Day makes it even more special.

Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, what do I want? The first thing that comes to mind is always the right one.

It's so frustrating! You work so hard to get to a final, so to lose is really hard. I'm thrilled I made it to the final, but at the same time I'm really disappointed with the performance I put on out there.

I wish there were another five minutes in the heat. I'm always upset when I get second. I am disappointed. It took me 25 minutes to find out where I wanted to surf.

I haven't prepared as much I would like to but it will be fun to get out there again. I have nothing left to prove in surfing but still have the desire to keep going.

It's one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had.
