Yup, it seems that Kirk Hammett can never have too many hobbies, with surfing being one of his many pastimes. In fact, since he's taken up the water sport, he's become a prominent member of the community and, along with Metallica bandmate and fellow surfer Rob Trujillo, got to be a keynote speaker at Surf Summit 17 in 2014. At the event, which took place in Los Cabos, Mexico, Hammett and Trujillo shared their personal stories of the waves they surfed across the globe and the positive impact that surfing has had on them.

In the same way that Hammett fused his passion for horror movies with his passion for music, he married surfing to music, which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one. Hammett and co. teamed up with Billabong to release the Billabong x Metallica 2019-2020 Collection, which included t-shirts, boardshorts, wetsuits, and more, all sporting a theme based on a different Metallica album.
