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

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

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.

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

[Jack Johnson] became a superstar and started his own record label, and then he made and produced my first record, he co-wrote the songs on there, and then he let me open up for him for two years all around the world. And that was like the best start I could've had, the best way I could've started in the music scene.

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

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