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

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

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

[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.

Before I actually got a hard surfboard at the age of 10, like a real board, I was always just trying to stand up on boogie boards or rafts or whatever I had, trying to emulate the people that I saw surfing the waves out there.

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

Nobody in my family ever surfed, but they would always bring me to the beach.
