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

Before I actually got a hard surfboard at the age of 10, like a real board, I was always just trying to stand up on boogie boards or rafts or whatever I had, trying to emulate the people that I saw surfing the waves out there.

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

Through my surfing, I met all my friends that helped me out in the music world, and so that's kind of how it all began. So, it was the surfing and then the music.

They say things happen for a reason You don't do them, they won't.

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

[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.
