Re: Jimmy Buffett's Favorite things
I think we all know many of his main hobbies. Surfing, flying, sailing, fishing.
As for charities, he's done a few Wounded Warrior events, most recently one back in June: http://www.buffettworld.com/2015/07/24/ ... ors-event/
And I'm sure he does more that doesn't make the news like this one. And of course he does a lot of environmental stuff.
You can click here - http://www.buffettworld.com/category/charitable-causes/ - and that will list news stories that have a charitable aspect to them

Re: Jimmy Buffett's Favorite things
This is very helpful, especially about his philanthropic efforts thank you!
I'm looking into specifics. Does anyone know any rare flying gear or surboards or something cool and different that he'd be over the moon about receiving?

You might try http://www.chubbysurf.com/vintagesurfboards.html They have vintage surfboards and longboards at reasonable prices. Some are pretty rare and you never know what they are going to have. Like any "antique" shop, the inventory changes constantly.
Jimmy's also a fan of Sporty's Pilot Shop in Batavia, OH. He mentions them in concert every once in a while. I'd check out their Wright Bros. collection. http://www.sportys.com/wrightbros/

He even mentions them in a recording. I want to say it's on "Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday Nights."Air M'Ville Cap'n wrote:I've never heard him mention them. That's cool!

Re: Jimmy Buffett's Favorite things
I'm very jealous of his hat collection.
