Billy Currington Gives Surf Rating
When he’s not on stage, you’ll find Billy Currington on the water. He was raised along the Georgia coast, and he spends a lot of his vacation time surfing in Hawaii. Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton asked Billy to rate himself as a surfer: “I’m pretty somewhere in the middle. I’m not a great surfer, because the great surfers do it every day. I don’t have that opportunity, I can’t do it all the time. So I stay near the middle. I’m definitely not a beginner, but I’m not one of those guys who do those tricks and crazy things. I do the big waves though. I first challenged the waves in Hawaii this year. I’d been going to that spot and watching, getting the courage up, and finally this year, I went out on one of their biggest swells. It was only about 20 feet that day, but 20 feet is big. Especially when you’ve never been out there. I learned a lot, and I’m ready to challenge it again next year.”
