The company, SMP.

So the guys who like started that or co-founded or whatever would have a sale out front of their house every year.

And they set up shop that night before and I drove by it in my home.

I'm like, boys, it's all out there.

We took my buddy Jeremy's VW bus and my mom's Explorer.

I fucking went and I loaded it up.

We did a couple trips.

The next morning, my dad's like trying on clothes, like, this is great.

Our friends, whatever.

And then my buddies went back the next day, because they didn't get the box of board shorts they wanted.

and they saw him, and they caught him.

So the cops came, and they scared us, and they didn't press charges.

Did you feel guilty, too?

Yeah, well, because they're like, this is our family's business.

This is how I feed, and all the kids are there and stuff.

It's just like, sorry.

And they had, like, the coolest surf shop in San Diego, or in East County, at least.

I would say in high school it did.

In sixth grade, new to that school in San Diego, I got with this group of dudes who were the cool guys.

And I'll never forget the weird kid, Evan Parent.
