How did you start surfing?
I took up surfing as a teenager at San Clemente, California, and was signed to a sponsorship deal with Billabong allowing me to travel the world surfing. During my travels, I rented a room in North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii, from Jack Johnson's parents and us surfer-musicians developed a strong friendship. I am also well known for his appearances in the Drive Thru series of surf videos.
How did start music?
It basically started when I was young, and my uncle Eric gave me a guitar, and I later joined a band. From then on, my life was surfing and music.
