He was a pro surfer since he was in highschool and broke his leg during a competition and got more serious about his guitar and got famous for doing that.
@TickleMeEban The son of well-known surfer Jeff Johnson, he took an interest in the sport. He began to learn how to surf at the age of 5. At 17, he became the youngest invitee to make the surfing finals at the Pipeline Masters on Oahu's north shore. One week later, however, his stint as a professional surfer ended when he suffered a surfing accident at the Pipeline that put over 150 stitches in his forehead and knocked a few of his teeth out
haha ya'll know he was a pro surfer like his dad before right? he got into a major reef accident surfing and didn't go back pro again. His whole family can rip just like him!
he was supposed to be a professional surfer but when he had his first pro comp he had a bad injury and decided to start focusing more on music instead of it being a hobby. now were all happy people.
omg Jack Johnson is an amazing person, he is my idol, i look up to him soooo much. surfing is pretty much my life, i love it so much and i also love Jack's music, it make me feel so relaxed and calm. i listen to jack Johnson in the car every time i go for a surf. thank you Jack, much respect. :D <3
@josufergysk8s the way the waves break in a cove, bay or point, or even an island chain make it possible for there to be land behind where the waves are breaking.
For those of you ignorant people, including the guy that made the video, saying that Jack Johnson can surf or can be a pro, he was one himself. He lived for surfing. Until he fucked up one of his knees in a competition and that was it. He couldn't recover fully and his knee got battered. He lost many competitions due to the lack of absence and he lost sponsorships. Then he went into music and voilah.. Lucky Jack.
@Zephyr2810 Not correct. If you read the biography of Jack Johnson by Marc Shapiro (great read by the way) it gives detail about the accident that led to the end of Johnson's career in the surf circuit before it even began. It was more of a realisation that the competitive side of the competition was destroying his personal love for surfing that led him to stop. You are correct in saying that he found music 'proper' whilst recovering from an accident where he smashed his knee and face however!
@breadandjam1 shutup mate.. your not killing it with your academic speech.. noone respects what your on about and you dont need to correct the bloke on his opinion
@hahayeahman just saying what happened according to a reputable source and recommending a great book to a fellow fan, if that upsets you so much i apologise.
@pwn3dpwn3dpwn3dpwn3d pfff how old are you? 10 years? hahaha. Unfortunately for you, im not gay. And also it´s not an insult. I feel sorry for you....
I know all the brothers from when they where growing up. There dads house is right on the beach between pipe and rocky point on the North shore of Oahu so of course they ripe would you if you had sonme of the best surf in the world as your back yard.Look at Jamie Obrian same story!
Jack Johnson the person completely fits in my mind with Jack Johnson the musician. Laid back, summer, just all around relaxed. I'd love to meet the guy
@microCell11 The guy can totally surf! Jack was in the pipline masters at the age of 17, a week later he hit a reef and got 150 stitches in his face and knocked out a couple of teeth, I guess it contributed to the new career... But yeah he is a legend..
@LoveIsTheFabric Yeah. Jack ate some bad shit and got caught up on the reef. He was out of the water for a while and played guitar more. 2:12-2:40 He throws so much spray on all those turns.
