I travel a lot, and being in different countries and a part of cultures, that's just such a huge inspiration for music, and one way or another, you get influenced.

The things I try to do with Surfrider Foundation, SurfAid, Love Hope Strength, which is a cancer foundation, I try to do as many benefits and fundraising things as I possibly can. It's so important, if you have any kind of a voice, or any way to make a difference, to do that. So, I'm trying to do that, and have fun in the moment, and live life, and hope it all comes together.

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.

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

[Jack Johnson] really helped me make the record, put it out, and then let me tour with him for two years. He really helped me out.

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

I fell in love with these two passions that I made into careers, and I've never had to give one up.
