I just try to enjoy the moment and enjoy what's happening. I mean, I want to be conscious of what's going on around me, and be aware of if I can make a change and make things better, which I think is very important.

I grew up in Orange County, California, all over the beaches of San Clemente and that area.

Nobody in my family ever surfed, but they would always bring me to the beach.

I grew up knowing [Jack Johnson], surfing with him.

My wife really pushed me in that direction, to write my own songs and start singing, so I think having the whole family thing is such a huge thing.

[Jack Johnson]gave me my whole start in music, which was the coolest thing ever.
