Growing up in the extraordinary place that was Hawai'i in the 1950s and 1960s. Playing a part in the shortboard revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Living the dream in the Country before it was ever called the North Shore. Experiencing the awe, fear and ultimate satisfaction of finding the tube in the early days at the Pipeline. Traveling for surf throughout the world: to the original surf camp at G-Land, the exotic islands off Sumatra and especially to the magic island of Bali, Indonesia - before it became a popular surf destination. Experiencing the beginnings of windsurfing on Maui, the early years of snowboarding and tow-in surfing at Jaws. But it is the people that surfing molds into truly unique individuals, each with his own special story, that stand out. Many of these surfers who helped create the surfing world of today are unknown for their contributions, or are already forgotten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396998771616-1YV6CQNFEYJIU4UW0OOA/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Ala Moana | Gordinho | 1969 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396998663101-9JZ0PUUUHF8B2DFAEZ3V/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Gerry with the latest surfboard design | Art Brewer | 1969 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397000951213-IEQCEGOANWGH90ME79IF/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story B.K. the man at Sunset Beach | Steve Wilkings | 1971 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396999170789-QC7DGYU72G3VHG5U3YYB/14.jpg Talk Story First cover shot, Ala Moana | John Severson | 1971 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397000964878-BVF6TRPRZX76B56S6DZ5/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Inside Sunset | Jeff Divine | 1971 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397001120807-52UQHXCFA06OS5KI5S9S/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Pipeline | Steve Wilkings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397001242880-UTSW4TYMIQQ0D9Y3RUB0/28.jpg Talk Story 1973 World Championships, Ocean Beach California | 1973 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397001233399-HI8OMXP0Z69477H1D4KX/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Ala Moana | Steve Wilkings | 1972 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396992479118-OIZO5SAUCNEG5UFVXP3S/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story USA Championships Huntington Beach | Art Brewer | 1968 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396998974243-WDTA519OHT28N7JOHITZ/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Golden Breed Expression Session | Jeff Divine | 1971 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397001214428-9ED7LDUR1XMO6O71A31S/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Ala Moana bowl with Reno Abellira | Steve Wilkings | 1972 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396991776416-RUDEYR2DXGAE5158TMMI/02-Oahu+Photo+1+Early+Waikiki+%7C+circa+1955+Oahu+Photo+2+Waikiki+with+Dad+%7C+1950.jpg Talk Story Waikiki with Dad | 1950 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397001078064-AFC06BD2LU1GZJVJ8KWH/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Big Pipeline | Steve Wilkings | 1972 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1396993279414-CUNVMU7SOFUYAF2CDYQ5/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Early Pipeline | Art Brewer | 1968 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397001017256-7N8KL1VKSTNCOWB9ROD4/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story - I like to think that saying came out of the first adventure.

And in 1973, it was pretty special. Honolua Bay, Mala Wharf and Maalaea were the surf spots that brought me over there early on and were a big part in my decision to relocate. Honolulu had become busier but looking back from even today, I realize that it was just the nature of Honolulu. I’m sure Honolulu has always been and will continue to be a busier city forever…people come there, fall in love with something or maybe everything about it and never leave. I’m still glad I went to Maui because I got to experience a time in Maui that will never be again. In 1973, the population of Maui County was 50,000 and the County included the islands of Molokai and Lanai. I lived in Olinda, what they call Upcountry Maui. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397060187861-7V0O3EYVN46JT31BC4TX/26.jpg Talk Story Alex Lopez | Don King | 1995 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397059105596-UOVBU65CKD59G4NCIK0Y/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Surfboard shapes, Maui | 1975 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397060056072-XYXW3PQB842HYIW1H8ZY/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Father and son, at Pipeline | Denjiro Sato | 1989 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397059229871-072X6DQ0PL34SG3TYY4A/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Maui sunset | Dana Edmunds | 1976 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397060141739-3RSP5G79SF0PNXKHT3E7/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Gerry and Alex | Denjiro Sato | 1990 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397059942574-X5T327AMAT32C3K54U1X/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Pipeline | Jeff Divine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397060127854-IUBQMP5BTPBPY3IB4390/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Paying dues at the Pipeline | Jeff Divine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397060156010-5CX3SJW6U7E4FRQ4H2PU/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Kava Cermony, Tavarua Island, Fiji | Jeff Divine | 1995 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397058928416-0F43SR9L46K1LRQMA418/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story Early Uluwatu, Bali | Dana Edmunds | 1975 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397060066066-H97H3LUFSNIL2KT6YZA2/21.jpg Talk Story On the set of Farewell To The King, Borneo | 1987 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1397059637728-GG186SVDLORCQ5PQNH6C/image-asset.jpeg Talk Story - Feeling pretty cocky I took my time as I pulled my bottom turn around, Early Jaws tow-in surfing | p.

There is a determination to raise the skill level and improve their surfing game that is all consuming and slowly for most, although sometimes quickly for a few, the ability to ride that surfboard continues to rise…to a point. And in this, I believe it was no different back in the beginning than it is today. That surfer, through observation of other, more skillful surfers or perhaps just self-reflection, starts to see that his own surfing has reached a point beyond which it cannot progress…unless he has a more progressive surfboard than what he is currently riding. Some surfers constantly analyze their equipment, thinking of how their surfboard will improve their surfing and working with shapers to do just that. All surfers do this in some degree but many simply rely upon their surfboard builder and trust them to produce the means to the end that really never is ending but simply draws one deeper into their surfing experience. In simple terms, a surfer gets a surfboard, learns to ride it and his skills get better, to a point…to go beyond that point, he needs a better surfboard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1561000301019-YTQXHYP28HR6GC76EREW/Pocket+Rocket Surfboards - Pocket Rocket Starting at $765 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1561000272652-9U7GDBC8ST9DJSRIX1MX/03.png Surfboards - Something Fishy Something Fishy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1c95741b-6ba2-4881-9d92-87c10f284042/LOPEZ-SOMETHINGFISHEY-2022-FUSION-HD-FCS-Deck+%281%29.png Surfboards - Something Fishy Fusion HD Starting at $675 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/178b0106-ca39-4fb8-b585-509a3fe857aa/LOPEZ-LITTLEDARLING-2022-FUSION-HD-FCS-Deck+%281%29.png Surfboards - Little Darlin Fusion HD Starting at $735 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1583338117197-XD8T15YVWCX6L465LHPH/Squirty Surfboards - Squirty Starting at $745 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1583338049337-CE2QVVCH720WI1D6H54Q/River+Boat Surfboards - River Boat Something Fishy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/e676c992-22b9-4f0c-b127-38cea9d36337/LOPEZ-SQUIRTY-2022-FUSION-HD-FCS-Deck+%281%29.png Surfboards - Squirty Fusion HD Starting at $700 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1561000287429-QVU2LGKCCEIVEMNEDC9I/Little+Darlin Surfboards - Little Darlin’ Starting at $745 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1561002913474-7AUB5ZN9V5IBL48TTSZR/Classic+Bolt+01 Surfboards - Classic Bolt Something Fishy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1561002948848-KKAYBJRKIG6IRWBCEN89/Classic+Bolt+02 Surfboards - Classic Bolt Starting at $5,000 Contact us for more details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53445d4ce4b044acbaa8a0a4/1561002933688-6XBT7QTM7R0DJP5L8AHJ/Classic+Bolt+03 Surfboards - Classic Bolt Starting at $5,000 Contact us for more details. https://www.gerrylopezsurfboards.com/welcome daily 1.0 2024-10-31
