JettyGirl: A one million
dollar check arrives in your mailbox with a
note that reads, "Half of this amount is
yours and the other half is to benefit the world
around you." How would you spend the money?
Keenan Lineback:
With the half of the money that would be given
to me to benefit the world around me, I would
give some to my school, some to my swim team,
and some to help starving people around the
world and help give them the essentials they
need to live a happy life. With the other half
that would be given to me, I would probably
buy a house somewhere warm with good waves and
save the rest ...maybe shop a little.
JG: Describe the best surfboard
you've ever ridden and why it was special to
you.
Keenan: The board
that stands out the most to me was a purple
5'0" Perfection. I think it is the most
memorable because on it I got my first cover
shot in ESM when I had just turned 14.
JG: If you could travel
back to any time in history and hang with one
person while they go about their daily activities,
who would it be and why?
Keenan: I would
have to choose Jesus Christ. Seeing how He handled
different situations, how He treated everyone
around Him, and how He helped everyone He could
would have a huge impact on my life.
JG: For thirty days you're
stuck on a desert island with one book, one
song, one surf movie and one snack food. Which
ones would you choose?
Keenan: I like
the surf movie Trilogy so I'll go with
that one. A book about how to survive being
stranded on a deserted island would help me
out. Haha. For snack food, I'll have to pick
something that I can't cook and eat with the
help of my survival book because I'll be eating
any and all walking, flying, and swimming creatures
...yeah I'm that good. I guess I'll go with
some French crepes to hold me over 'til the
next kill. I have to pick a country song since
I'm from the South so I'm going with She's
Country by Jason Aldean.
JG: What is your best surf-related
memory of 2009?
Keenan: My greatest
2009 experience was in Nicaragua in July. It
was the first time I got to surf somewhere where
the majority of the waves were barrels.
