It was a little daunting because I had come really close in 2003 to winning a title and literally lost out in the last surf of the year. It was very upsetting. And then the following year I didn't have a very good year. But in 2005 I was doing well, things were good and it was scary to think I might get close but not pull it off again. When I did pull...
