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

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.

My wife really pushed me in that direction, to write my own songs and start singing, so I think having the whole family thing is such a huge thing.

One Christmas, I just begged my parents like "I want to try to surf on a real board instead of these boogie boards and rafts" and they got me one.

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

I travel a lot, and being in different countries and a part of cultures, that's just such a huge inspiration for music, and one way or another, you get influenced.

Traveling is also a big inspiration for me.

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

The very way you breathe, sit, stand, eat, walk, work - everything can become yoga. You can use any process of life to transcend your limitations.

Cats have intercepted my footsteps at the ankle for so long that my gait, both at home and on tour, has been compared to that of a man wading through low surf.

I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.

Commitment hangs on when all else has fallen.
