Lane Beachley

That's what I realized I needed.

So I fell in love with a man which helped me fall in love with surfing and fall in love with winning.

I fell in love with life all over again.

Relief.

Relief.

Yes.

Not elation or... No, relief and satisfaction.

Relieved because I had been stating to the world and to myself that I was going to be a world champion since I was eight years of age.

And I'm now 26.

Relief because since I was 14, I was going to become a world champion surfer and relief to fulfill that goal and achieve that dream and feel that true sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in that particular moment.

I believe my peers were as relieved as I was because I would shut up about it now.

Did it leave you hungry for more?

Yeah, I became addicted to witting, obviously.

Ken actually inspired that too.

He literally said to me, obviously you're the best surfer in the world, but you are the best surfer in the water.

There's no one that can beat you.

So what's your goal now?

And so I originally set the goal to beat Lisa Anderson's record of four consecutive and then Kelly Slater's record of five consecutive.

And I thought, I need to become the best of the best.

That means I must win six consecutive world titles.
