I think people in general that don't surf, have a fascination with it. Its definitely much more than a sport or activity, its a way of life. There is a culture that surrounds it and I think people are intrigued by that.

Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet.
Tristan Prettyman
I love myspace and sites like that, cause its allowed me to stay connected to my fans. The personal connection remains the same, but as I've grown, it never gets to be too overwhelming. It allows the artist to be as involved as they want to be.
Tristan Prettyman
I think the reason people connect so well with my music is because there is a real connection.
Tristan Prettyman
On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.
Tristan Prettyman
In a perfect world, I would do 3 weeks on 3 weeks off so that I could always take a breather and come back to music with a fresh mind.
Tristan Prettyman
For me surfing is just something that I love to do. I grew up surfing, is sort of like a family requirement. I can't imagine my life without it. But I am not defined by it, nor is my music. They are very separate.
Tristan Prettyman
I'm pretty down to earth, I always have been and though I am on a much different path than most 25 year olds, I feel like I have a bit of a double life. We will go on tour for weeks at a time, but when I come home, I feel like I am picking up where I left off.
Tristan Prettyman
For me I want to know everything that goes on with my business but at the end of the day I just want to live, experience, be inspired and create music.
Tristan Prettyman
Music was sort of an accident for me. I love to do it. I can't imagine doing anything else.
Tristan Prettyman
I can't wait to be a mom and a wife, and explore that phase of life. And also see how it affects and influences my song writing and creativity.
Tristan Prettyman
Where I grew up, surfing was a way for people to celebrate their love and respect for the ocean.
Tristan Prettyman
Writing music obviously comes from being inspired by things, and big changes in your life, and relationships and growing older and being more independent.
Tristan Prettyman
We're always supposed to be happy and positive. There's something about letting yourself slip into that vulnerable space because you can really feel things there. It helps you grow as a person. I tend to enjoy being in a vulnerable space, in a weird way.
Tristan Prettyman
Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.
Tristan Prettyman
I'm just as normal as anybody else. I'm just probably in the same place as many people in their mid to late twenties are.
Tristan Prettyman
You kind of gotta step back from your dreams and your passions once in a while, and kind of do something else for a minute so that you can come back to it with a fresh outlook, and be real inspired by something else, so you can give something back to your dreams and your passions.
Tristan Prettyman
Being an opener is all about warming up the audience for the main band. That is always fun, pretty easy there isn't a lot of pressure.
Tristan Prettyman
I've always been someone who likes to share and talk. When something happens to me I [don't] run away from it. I want to dive right into and explore it. Try to figure out why it's happening and try to figure out something good that's going to come out of it.
Tristan Prettyman
Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.
Tristan Prettyman
If you want perfection or close to it...listen to the record.
