For the past few years following the holidays, Kip Moore has taken time off to go surf and basically recharge his batteries. His job, like so many other folks who does what he does for a living, is pretty demanding both mentally and physically, and so he can be better and feel refreshed to do it all over again, he “disappears” for a bit and goes where the waves are calling to him.

“I’m definitely going to disappear again. It’s something that I’ll probably do for the rest of my career is disappear during the winter. I’ve got to get that surfing in and I’ve got to hit that recharge button,” says Kip. “As cliché as that sounds, it truly wipes you out all of your mind, body, spirit, everything. I wouldn’t trade it for the world and I love doing it, but it takes a toll in so many ways mentally on you. So, when I get to get out and surf, it definitely brings me back to center and gets me ready to go again.”

When Kip returns, he’ll hit the road on the 2019 leg of his Room to Breathe Acoustic Tour, which launches March 7th in Chicago. The Georgia native is sitting inside the Top 5 with his current hit, “Last Shot.”
