Johnson and wife Kim created the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation and the Kōkua Hawaii Foundation. In 2008 Johnson adopted the concept of greening (reduce and reuse), and donated 100% of the proceeds of the ''Sleep Through the Static'' tour to the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation. Similarly, the proceeds from the 2010 ''To The Sea'' album tour went to All At Once, a Johnson backed collaborative of greening charities promoting fan involvement. ==Early life== Jack Johnson was born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jack Johnson Biography )〕 The son of well-known surfer Jeff Johnson, he took an interest in his father's profession. Jack began to learn how to surf at the age of 5. At 17, he became the youngest invitee to make the surfing finals at the Pipeline Masters on Oahu's North Shore. One week later, however, his stint as a professional surfer ended when he suffered a surfing accident at the Pipeline that put more than 150 stitches in his forehead and removed a few of his teeth; this later became the inspiration for the song "Drink the Water".〔 Also at: (【引用サイトリンク】title=Jack Johnson – The Dude Abides ) 〕 Jack Johnson graduated from Kahuku High School on Oahu.
