I just think it's amazing that I'm able to do both singing and surfing.

[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.

That's how it all started, when I met my wife. My music career, even though I started when I was 16, it never really started till I was like 30, when I started singing and writing my own songs, and that's when it really took off. But prior to that, I was just doing a bunch of covers.

I don't really try to set any long-term goals.

That was like the best start I could've had, the best way I could've started in the music scene. I owe [Jack Johnson] a lot for the beginning of my career and setting me off on the right path, and that's the coolest thing that ever could've happened.

[The Surf Lodge performance] is sort of like an annual thing.
