i was searching for some photos of Ben Aipa because i wanted to elaborate to my students on his coaching. Ben taught me so many things in and out of the water. some i forgot, and some stuck in my mind forever. one thing he constantly taught me was to look at the whole ocean, and not just the wave in front of me. so when i found this quote
“Don’t focus on what’s right in front of you… Watch the horizon and be prepared for what happens next.”
even till today, i apply his teachings to my life both in and out of the ocean. 
Ben Aipa leading by example. this is perfect form. speed, power, and flow. this is where you want your eyes, this is where you want your arms, and this is where you want your rails. thanks you again Coach Ben for all the wisdom. it helps me in life, and i can see it helping my students in life too…
