Wave-riding legend Robby Naish turns 50 on April 23 and we had a chat about kids, SUP and BBQs... 
Interview on Redbull:
"So far so good!" Robby Naish at 50
Could you try to put into words what the ocean means to you?
When boardriding, it’s probably the sense of walking on water to a degree, and the freedom that comes with it is very unique. It’s just you and nature… no motors, no lifts.
You became a father at age 18 and you also used to be a babysitter as a teenager. Are you easy around kids and what does their presence do to you?
I do like kids, though I am not really the world’s most patient person. I love to hang out with young people, and most of my friends are not quite my age…
You are known as one of the advocates of stand-up paddling. Were you hooked the first time you tried it yourself or did it take a while to grow on you?
It took a little while. Initially SUP started out with a few guys taking paddles out on their 12 footers. I made a couple of 12 footers that I was surfing with, and tried paddling early on but did not get too thrilled by it. In the beginning the SUP thing was more of a novelty than anything. Slowly a few more guys began to get into it, and here on the North Shore of Maui the “downwinder” began.
