The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez

Featured, Featured Lifestyle

Gerry Lopez is not only a leading Yoga teacher, but one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time. Known as “Mr. Pipeline”—for his mastery of the huge waves that form large, hollow, thick curls of water that surfers can tube ride—Lopez is an entrepreneur, a family man, a movie star, and a lifelong yogi who brought surfing to new frontiers. This documentary by Patagonia films captures his life in surfing, the wisdom he gleaned from Yoga and how it informed his relationship with the waves.
