An Epic Surfside Chat: Conner Coffin and Jack Johnson
Conner Coffin: Hey Jack, what’s up? Thanks for catching some time to chill and chat today. I know you’re always busy riding the waves of music and the ocean!
Jack Johnson: Aloha, Conner! It’s great to be here, man. Always down to talk surf and vibes. So, you’ve been ripping it up out there lately, huh? How’s the tour treating you?
Conner: It’s been a wild ride, for sure. You know, between the competition and finding those perfect breaks, life’s a blur of saltwater and adrenaline. Speaking of wild rides, I remember jamming to your tunes before hitting the waves. They’ve always been a part of my surf retreat playlist.
Jack: That’s awesome to hear! Music and surfing have this incredible synergy; they both have that flow state. So, what’s been your most memorable surf trip recently?
Conner: Dude, Tahiti was insane! Teahupo’o was pumping! Those waves might as well do your laundry; they’ll spin you around so much. How about you, any epic surf sessions in between gigs?
Jack: Totally, man. Actually, took a trip down to the North Shore last month. There’s nothing like the Banzai Pipeline. But say, balancing music tours and surf trips isn’t easy. How do you keep that competitive edge while enjoying the ride?
Conner: It’s all about perspective, I guess. Each wave, each session, keeps you grounded and reminds you why you ride in the first place. Plus, having a good support crew and some downtime between events keeps me stoked. How do you stay inspired to write such feel-good music? Is it the ocean’s influence?
Jack: Absolutely. The ocean is the ultimate muse. Its rhythm and ever-changing nature mirror life in so many ways. Plus, the energy of the surf community fuels my creativity. Speaking of community, any upcoming projects you’re excited about?
Conner: Actually, yes! I’ve been working on a new surf film project that highlights some epic hidden spots and the lifestyle that comes with them. It’s not just about the waves but the stories behind them. Any new albums or tours we should look forward to?
Jack: That sounds rad! I’m wrapping up a new album now, and planning a small coastal tour. It’s going to be a mix of old vibes and new experiments. But enough about me—the world needs more of your surf adventures. When’s the premiere of the film?
Conner: If all goes well, it should drop early next year. We’re just putting the finishing touches on it. Can’t wait for everyone to see it. And dude, I’m definitely catching your coastal tour. Maybe we can surf and jam afterwards?
Jack: Count me in! Surf, music, and good company—that’s the dream. Hey, thanks for the chat, Conner. Always a pleasure to connect with fellow ocean enthusiasts.
Conner: Likewise, Jack. Here’s to epic waves and killer tunes, my friend!
