TESTIMONY

My morals and standards come first. I am here to be a role model for young girls and show them what really counts ... and that is what is on the inside.

Yes, I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; He is my Lord and Savior. My faith has affected my career greatly. I would not be who I am today. God gave me this talent to use and He helps me daily to continue to pursue His will. He has blessed me with the great parents, great friends, awesome teammates, so many great coaches, a great strength coach and so much more.

Tim Curran: Champion Professional Surfer, California

  • Consistently one of best surfers in WCT
  • Pioneer of surfing's "Arial Revolution" of the late 1990's
  • Famous for completing a full rotation, upside-down flip in two-foot surf at Rocky Point in Hawaii during winter of 2005, known worldwide as “The Flip.”

TESTIMONY

I love surfing because I get paid to travel the world, have fun and see what God has created.

Since I was young I’ve tried to be the best I can be and to live for God.

Christian life hasn’t always been easy, but it is the path that has led to the greatest fulfillment. Surfing, money, everything I have comes nowhere close to the feeling that God gives me when I’m right on with him. It’s awesome.

TESTIMONY

Aside from all of skating stuff, I have been truly blessed by the Lord with a close family, great friends, and the health and happiness of loved ones!!

In every success and failure there is a lesson to be learned. I am a believer, there is a plan for everyone. And I think my daughter put it best when she said, “Daddy, it wasn’t in God’s plan for you to win Nationals.” (Written in January, 2006)
