Awesome to hear this gentleman speak

[@BobbyJetty1502]

I remember when Shawn used to work at South Coast in Ocean Beach in the 80s. Still the biggest Kook ever!🤙🏼

[@Surfdronesd]

Legend, keep rocking! I ❤ Gerry Lopez

[@sdsurfers1]

I think Shawn Styles sent HIMSELF and a crew to take on this "assignment"?! Can't believe you guys got invited to Kelly's Surf Ranch AND got to meet interview both Kelly Slater and the LEGENDARY Gerry Lopez?? Great interviews and videography guys. Bumped into Shawn when I was going out bodyboarding at Windansea. Nice guy and decent surfer from the small videos we have seen on Channel 8.

Two Thumbs up for the use of "Cogitate" in a sentence by Gerry Lopez about the long rides you have at the Surf Ranch.

[@slashtrio]

I think therefore I surf

[@surfininmy40s]

Love the interview. Wish I can try the pool but can’t afford. Love seeing everyone stoked on it tho

[@wikolib6821]

No more kala, brah. Haha.

[@sanfranciscobay]

Air Temperatures 80-90 Degrees F during the Summer. 50-60 Degrees F during the Winter. Summer and Winter Lows are 10-20 Degrees less.

[@wikolib6821]

Reminds me of night surfing Queens, Pops and Canoes by the moon and city lights. Fish jumping. No stadium lights haha.

[@robinbanks610]

Back in the very late 60’s starting surfing my folks thought I’d get on heroin at the beach and die😂. Bro, way too stoked being in the water catching waves to have any interest in anything else. Gerry was/still is a hero of mine, king of pipe! Kelly? King✌️❤️

[@dennishanna4389]

Thank you; thank you so much. A complete presentation would have, should have, provided information on the cost and scheduling for an "individual" or "group" use of the Surf Ranch. dennis hanna

[@joaquingalan4804]

A full day $50,000 to $70,000. One session $5,000 to $10,000. Yes It is just for rich people.

[@fishyboy2447]

Gerry always reminds me of the 70s

[@GuyRips-k4j]

Nice,boy things happening quick

[@Jim-fe2xz]

LOL! Yep in 1962 at 15 years old my mom told me that if I got a surfboard I'd just turn into a beach bum! 62 years later and after 33 years in aerospace I've moved closer to the ocean and surf whenever I want so in a way she was right after all LOL!

[@jeremycox8261]

How’s Gerry’s style? Relaxed, fast, effortless

[@sanfranciscobay]

What is the cost per wave to ride if you pay full price?

[@slashtrio]

5 bucks

[@GGGinJe]

The cost adds to the mystique too.

[@sanfranciscobay]

What is the bottom of the Pool made of, Sand, Gravel...?

[@BangTaoBeach]

How much does it cost? I wish we had one here in Cambodia.

[@YNDog]

Yea big Z🤙🏾

[@softhotty]

It's sad what's coming. I don't think the masses realize. Do what you aspire now!

[@foxtrot-oscar-f2u]

...should be noted #1 that the wavepool generates charity for underprivileged causes🙏❤️

[@foonatt]

The truth is, the water is less buoyant and moves under your board differently. It’s pool surfing. Get your wallets out and buy your dreams. NOT ocean surfing . These guys that endorse it are being paid. It DOESNT compare but the crowds have ruined it out there in the salt

[@Mexicantours]

Surfer turned salesman…. So sad.

[@Whoddathunk]

Waves in pools have no souls….nothing beats mother nature’s creation..

[@joaquingalan4804]

Is this supposed to make us feel good?

[@arturonavarro66]

Unfortunately all them cultists & extremists want to deport this guy🤷‍♂️

[@georgewcamp]

pay to play, great for the 1% that gets the invite or has the $$

[@sanfranciscobay]

What is the cost per wave to ride if you pay full price?

[@joaquingalan4804]

One hour session $5,000 to $10,000

[@fredrit323]

I'm surprised and somewhat skeptical about all these world class surfers that dominated the biggest , gnarliest waves on the planet getting a kick out of such an uninspiring, boring, predictable, tiny wave pool in the middle of nowhere...

[@slashtrio]

That's a bit cynical

[@softhotty]

I'm guessing you're a world traveling surfer; privileged in a certain respect. If time permits, it opens a door to this experience potentially...to many who may never even get to a beach. Happy and joyous is needed now more than ever.

Wave pool localism....
