Fun Hogging Life with Jeff Johnson
Jeff Johnson is not only my doppelganger, but he’s a lifestyle and adventure photographer who made his name as a staff photog for Patagonia, and then as a freelancer for brands like Yeti, Roark, and Rivian with his images and stories filling pages of The Surfer’s Journal, Outside Magazine and many others. He’s a surfer, a former North Shore lifeguard, and a climber that goes after big walls in places like Yosemite. Jeff featured as the lead character in one of my favorite adventure films,180 South. He’s published three books including Bend to Baja, 180 South: Conquerors of the Useless, and more recently Way High Kick Turn, which is an insider's look into East Bay skateboarding culture from the mid-70’s to late 80’s. Jeff is a brand ambassador for Leica cameras, has his own shoe model with SeaVees and recently launched an apparel and gear brand called SPC/LST.
Jeff and I enjoyed our conversation from the lanai of his house on the North Shore of Oahu where we laughed about the crazy cases of mistaken identity we’ve dealt with over the years of sharing the same name and a mutual group of friends. I learned about his photography inspirations, the overlap between climbing and surfing, his insights from years of documenting Nature Junkies, managing the double-edge sword of social media, his most influential mentors (including Patagonia’s Yvon Chouinard), making sense of his role in the film 180 South, his new apparel brand, and we finish with a lightning round of doppelganger questions to truly understand the common ground of being a Jeff Johnson.
