Thank you, Occy, for this one - Gerry has always been such a remarkable light in surfing. For a man of so many diverse achievements he seems to carry himself with genuine humility. I'm grateful for the contributions both of you have made to bring grace and betterment to this dance we love. Peace -

Different class. I'm normally such a critic of surf media but the Occ-Cast has got the pitch so right :-)

I'm From Sisters Oregon...20 Miles from Bend Oregon where Gerry lives....... There's a Man Made Surfing Spot on the DESCHUTES RIVER..... It's HUGE.... Maybe 2' SWELL'S and 12' WIDE.....There's always a Line of Guys there waiting to jump in...No Paddling out

[@arinjohnson826]

Thanks Occy. This answered a host of questions I've often wondered about.

[@edgarmalveiro5315]

Gerry Lopez... What a legend!

[@genelevesque2555]

This is as good as it gets.

[@ulu3240]

Incredible how Lopez doesn't really think that much of himself, considering he is one of the best pipe surfers ever.

[@tiffsaver]

MAN. I really, really loved watching this, mate. And I so agree with MrDeadsurfer... the overriding feeling I got from Gerry is HUMILITY. Merry Christmas, one and all.

Occy, I wanted you to ask him about his Indonesian surf trips,especially Bali with his freind Rory Russell,he opened that gateway to an unbelievable amount of surf spots throughout Indo,Java and Sumatra,his discoveries opened up huge surf adventures, He is the pioneer of Uluwutu,its his place of endless perfection,compared today with overcrowding and noise pollution.

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

Occccyyy!!!

[@johnleebold8894]

Garie Beach National Park near the Nulla

[@BarbarraBay]

The old movies show Jerry taking lots of hits at Pipe; due to risk taking deep fearless charging. He appeared to have more guts & animal that his calm persona indicates; more gnarly than Rory.

[@rolftor1]

legend
