The band played under the thick blanket of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c79yv8122v4o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a record-breaking heatwave<\/a>, so before they did, Robert Trujillo decided to cool off a bit by paddling out for a session at Lost Shore Surf Resort, Edinburgh, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinertia.com\/surf\/scotland-wave-pool-opening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the biggest wave pool<\/a> in all of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Lost Shore recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinertia.com\/surf\/lost-shore-surf-resort-scotland-best-surf-parks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">came out on top of a list of the world\u2019s best surf parks<\/a>, and it\u2019s not just because of the wave. The wave and everything else the pool offers is what did it, so it\u2019s not a surprise that a member of one of the biggest bands in music history chose it. Trujillo was joined by drummer Mario Duplantier from Metallica\u2019s support act, Gojira.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DaNrfatt-id\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trujillo grew up surfing on the westside of Los Angeles, a place where music, surfing, and skateboarding was everywhere. Before Metallica, he played in Suicidal Tendencies. Then he moved onto Ozzy Osbourne\u2019s band for a few years. In 2003, he landed with Metallica, and the goofy-footer\u2019s life changed drastically. Despite his heavy touring schedule, Trujillo always manages to squeeze in some water time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinertia.com\/surf\/wave-pool-study-profitable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">and with wave pools springing up all over the world<\/a>, that\u2019s likely getting a little easier to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurfing and music really go hand in hand, when you think about surfing, it\u2019s very rhythmic when you\u2019re on the wave,\u201d Trujillo said to Lost Shore reps in between waves. \u201cBack in the old days, I used to hit my board and come up with beats while waiting for waves. It\u2019s a magnet for creativity\u2026 I believe that helped me with Kirk in Metallica, we came together through surf\u2026 I believe surfing is what brought me to Metallica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Trujillo has been surfing for longer than he\u2019s been in Metallica.
