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

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

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.

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.

I started surfing at the age of 10, and then turned professional at the age of 16, which was right around the same time I took up the guitar. So, the surfing came first.

Traveling is also a big inspiration for me.

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