Gerry Lopez Glider Review with Jake Sacks

[@6kunio8]

Daaang, that board at that spot looks like so much chill fun!

[@bradtremble6728]

The Gerry Lopez has a tucked edge in the tail like a Hawaiian Pro Designs/Donald Takayama. So it’s generally user friendly and won’t catch an edge like traditional gliders ala Skip Frye. In a 10’6” I really enjoy putting in a True Ames Greenough 4c (not to be mistaken for a Greenough 4a which has a wider base with more rake). I usually surf my gliders more laid back. Turn slower and set your trim line.

no one cares

Hi Trip, great vid. Hey trying to decide between the Lopez glider and the Takayama Prince Kuhio. What’s your thoughts please. I mainly surf longer waves in northern NSW Australia.

Where were those videos filmed at?! You got some loooong rides 🔥

[@justinbordwell4654]

Hey trip, at your weight are the Lopez gliders possible to knee paddle?

[@DylanGera-j2g]

What’s it like to turn ? , easy enough to step back and whip it around or too much rail in the water for that ? , I get it’s a glider but just curious on the turning ability

[@buntychea2616]

I wish the conditions were like that on days i come into hatteras! I'd love to ride this!

[@hrburrell7587]

How is the turning ability vs a more traditional longboard shape. I surf a small semi punchy beach break typically between 2 to 4 foot on average and usually ride a 12 foot munoz super glide which has tons of rocker but these look fairly flat in comparison. Would one of these still work? The 10'6 appeals to me I love big boards but wondering if the 9'6 would be better the better option with the straighter profile . Ive been eyeing these Lopez models since they came out but surftech recently came out with the 10'6 munos glide, now im torn lol, its a tough call .

Skip Frye, self-proclaimed "fin man", has always advocated less fin.

[@EarlDunning]

I ride the True Ames Skip Frye fin on my glider and it turns so sweet.

[@KevinJohnston-i1e]

I want one. Compliments my 9'0" Harbour Turbo Banana🌊

[@RadBarOn-h3g]

I just got this one, and took it out today. Thanks for the video guys!

[@freesoul3371]

It's a barge. It's a long board. Hard to turn, and do off the lips, aerials, etc.

It's not for you brother.

@@xwhite2020Don't be angry because it's a "barge". I triggered you. Didn't I? The word "barge" hurt you? It did....didn't it? Buy a short board and learn to surf.

It's a Turbo Tanker for wave hogs and their friends. I like it.
