April 14, 2010His music, voice and lyrics too are really good. If you don´t have anything positive to say, why not just keep it to your self…. Looks like a 3 fin bonzer though and not a 5! Ciao, Thomas from Spain.

April 15, 2010Correction: this post previously stated that the board was a 5 fin Bonzer. It is actually a 3 fin Bonzer. Apologies for the konfusion. La da datta dah dah.

April 15, 2010exactly,dave matthews,safe,poor quality,mediocre,but don’t dare say anything negative about it,because we all have to like everything surf cool and never disagree or dissent,like yoga,and jack johnson music,which is awful

April 16, 2010of course we can disagree, but the post was about jack surfing a bonzer, and the only thing some poor guy could come up with is “his music sucks”. As well you can´t say that people who likes his music, don´t like music!!!Taste is different from person to person – are people who like longboarding not real surfers , because they like a certain kind of surfing? By the way – I like yoga too! In fact it´s way more cool than anonymous people who post negative things:)Thomas, Spain.

April 16, 2010jack,rob,curren,kelly are great surfers,and poor musicians.jack johnson should be known for his surfing,but the herd mentality of the opiated masses has people getting sucked into a copycat surfer lifestyle,unlike the original renegade outlaw individual surfer.just because i ride a bonzer doesn’t make me a great surfer,and just because we love the way those guys surf doesn’t make them great musicians.

April 18, 2010Bro the guy has an original sound. He jams and has nice licks. Chicks dig it and it makes people happy. You judge his music like you judge surfing. It’s all style and approach and getting tubed. I hate corporate pussies just as much as you do, and I get your point of view. The guys a rich soft toned dicky. Fine. But the truth be said, you should shut the hell up when judging his music skills. I’ve been jamming guitar for over 20 years and I’m 32. You know nothing.
