As soon as I stood up on that hard surfboard, I went so fast and it was such an incredible feeling that I was obsessed, and I fell in love with it, so I never stopped. So, that's how it all started, being around people at the beach and other surfers and then finally getting an actual surf board, and falling in love with that feeling.

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

When I'm out in the water surfing, it clears my mind and it makes me want to play music and write music, and then when I'm playing a lot of music and touring, I can't wait to get in the water again and surf. So, I'm striving to find that perfect balance, and it's all good.

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

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

Being a husband and a dad is my inspiration.

Definitely my wife and my kid [are my biggest inspiration].
