Nobody made it look easier with style than Gerry Lopez.

I was a teenager and watched Gerry surf PIPE in the 70s, Lots of Hard Chargers with plenty of Talent and I salute them all, I think what made Gerry above the rest and earned Him the moniker of Mr. PIPELINE was His Seemingly relaxed and casual approach to that Wave which hid all of the work that Gerry did out of the water, Yoga, meditation and a Spiritual Mindset that allowed Him to be One with that Wave and move in it with FLUIDITY and STYLE, One of A Kind!!✌❤🤗

Gerry’s surfing is aesthetically sophisticated and timeless, surfing in tune with the wave, not attacking it. No anger, just flowing with the energy.

[stevenpeyton]

He was so smooth, so cool. They named a contest after him -- The Pipe Master.

I remember when I first saw Gerry Lopez at Pipeline, it wasn't only the skill but a spiritual way of being

[aquaman]

No leash. Appearing almost effortless. My “magic board” of the early 70’s had to have a lighting bolt on the bottom towards the nose.

a natural, self made, one of a kind.

Pretty sure the last time I was about to get tubed and I casually wiped my nose Pure genius at work!

[fernandomaron]

King of style. The way he dropped that wave at 0:47 showcases how casual and non-chalant his approach to pipe was

[VayaSonGotas]

I never get tired of watching Gerry Lopez just casually petting the kitty in the tube.

[jeffreyhogan]

Iam 68. And still have lighting bolts on everything I own ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[rickricardo]

Still trips me out he was in the Conan Barbarian film he did good job in there cool. Always went to the Lightning Bolt shop in back of Ala Moana shopping mall checked out the boards and pics of Jerry Lopez when we're kids.

[waltjisneychannel]

at the 0:48 ....!@#$% are you fuvking kidding me...in that moment, to somehow have the audacity to be somewhat inconvenienced by the presence of some mist in his face under the lip of a giant blue spinning tube at pipe to stand tall and wipe that fuckin mist from his beautiful perfect face has got to be the single coolest fucking moment in all of surfing history without question....the face wipe...it is the most intense spectacle of surfing progression and was fucking amazing

[jeffg]

They should do one of the pipe contests as a single fin event one of these years.

[trb]

Having surfed Ala Moana as a youngster, the transition to Pipeline was an organic process for success.

[stevenmarquis]

Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell and Margaret Oberg team Bolt back in the day. True reps for the sport of kings. Blessings
