Last weekend, Diamond Donnie stopped by the Mile High Music Festival to rap with SPIN about his gig at the festival. and how he loves playing in Colorado. Here’s what went down at the exclusive interview:
Recently, Sanuk’s trippin’ troubadour, Donavon Frankenreiter, made Ft. Lauderdale a stop on his tour. Donny jammed out at a couple stops in the area and even made a guest surf-instructor appearance at the Hang Loose Surf School. The surf school is part of Billabong’s effort to get groms filled to the brim with stoke.
Even before Donavon’s arrival, the little salties did everything they could to emulate his signature style. Many of them dawned dark Zinka mustaches to greet him. Upon Donny’s entrance, the crowd of mustachioed mini-donnies erupted in euphoria. Just look a ‘em! Smiles for days.
Why yes, that is a signed Sanuk! But the fun didn’t end there. Oh no, not even close. Next, it was time to throw on trunks and go for a surf.
Word on the water says one of the kids had mastered one of Donavon’s songs on the ukulele. You know what that means….Donny duet time!
