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

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

Being a husband and a dad is my inspiration.

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

I just think that's the most amazing thing to be able to go to places like Japan and surf all day and then that night, play music. It's never been one of those things that's disrupted the flow of one and other, they've just enhanced one and other. It's incredible. It's beautiful that I found these two things that help each other out.

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

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.
