Surfing Career
Frankenreiter took up surfing as a teenager on the beaches of San Clemente, California, and was eventually signed to a sponsorship deal with the Australian-based Billabong clothing company which allowed him to travel the world over. During his travels, he would rent a room in North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii, from the parents of musician and surfing-enthusiast Jack Johnson which resulted in Frankenreiter and Johnson developing a strong friendship.
Donavon is also well known for his appearances in the Drive Thru series of surf videos.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
