Max

Max and his buds traveled to Encinitas in the hope that they would get tickets for the Best of TearDevils Surf Video at the La Paloma theatre. To their misfortune, they weren’t successful and ended up hanging in the parking lot across the street. It was fortunate for me however, because it gave me this interview. I approached them asking if any of them were interesting. They smile, look at me, then each other, then gaze agian at me with highly confused expressions. I then explain my project, and they debate who’s the most interesting. They elected Max, a laid back, humorous, nice guy surfer and musican.

Max attends Cal State Channel Islands, and resides in Ventura. Music, along with moving out of his parents house, crack cocaine, and as his friend interjected being Jewish, have all influenced his life. (Safe to say that the cocaine part was a joke, but hey it does liven up the interview) He lived in Fresno for a while, but grew up in Columbus, California.

He’s been playing music his entire life, and it’s clearly his passion. Currently he  plays drums in the band  Marc B, they play acoustic mix of reggae, surf, and folk rock. As  promised, you guys should all check them out!  www.marcbmusic.com Seriously they’re sick, I’m listening now.

He’s living day by day, and seems to be happy where ever he is as long as he’s doing what he loves. Tomorrow isn’t planned, but hopes not to be in California for too much longer. He firmly expresses his dislike for the United States, and wants to see even more of the world. We talked about his travels, he’s been to almost all of Western Europe, Costa Rica, Hawaii and other surf destinations. Where ever his life leads him is where he’ll go, and he’ll be sure to bring music along.
