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.
