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

[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.

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

The Surf Lodge has got to be seven or eight years I've been playing there, every summer. It's definitely one of the most fun gigs of our whole East Coast tour. The beautiful atmosphere, amazing stage overlooking that beautiful lagoon - it's just a really hip, cool spot to play. We always look forward to it, every year.

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.

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