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 -
Reading Gerry’s book! Highly recommended! He’s as good as a writer! I keep getting Gerry all the rime on my daily views! Love the guy! Everyday he becomes more my idol Ochilupo too!
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
Gerry, Its P.j. from Honolua days. Good to see you're doing well. And to Occy, Great job on the Oc casts bro. Really enjoy hearing from all the different characters. Peace.
This was a really neat interview. If Gerry and/or Occy see this...thank you for your contribution(s) to the sport of surfing. Occy nice job on settling down and letting Gerry go long form. Answered a lot of questions...and provided really cool historical stuff. Truly enjoyable....thank you
Watching this again , such an amazing interview. I love how Occy is almost giddy at times in obvious fandom! I don’t know how he kept it together interviewing Gerry.. I would’ve kooked ou!
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.
Hey... both these gentlemen were in that movie North Shore... Occy was really cute funny teen and Mr Gerry Lopez was one of the "locals" ha ! Great movie :)
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.
Great interview and interesting history ... Great questions Occy great insights and humility from a man in touch with nature and its forces . Aum Shanti Aum and May Huey God of Surf gift You with both with life long barrels ... John Leebold first President of Garie Boardriders and BKS Iyengar yoga student since 1973 after see Jerry’s article in early Tracks magazine
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.
Uh its crazy Occ hasn't had brews with Taj yet.....just sayin brah. That one should feature an Aussie sesh. All the aussie surfers in one sesh would be rad too!!!!
Awesome. I can't wait to see this! Thank you, Occy. God bless you and Gerry.
God?
Gerry is so humble. Today's surfers could learn a lot from him.
AMEN.
🙌
Gerry has such a calming effect on you. He seems really at peace with himself. This interview made me smile. Well done Occy !
Different class. I'm normally such a critic of surf media but the Occ-Cast has got the pitch so right :-)
A true legend... The "Master Yoda" of surfing, basically...
Always stoked when the algorithm sends me occy or lopez. Bring these back, we need more real meets real.
Another epic podcast.

Reading Gerry’s book! Highly recommended! He’s as good as a writer! I keep getting Gerry all the rime on my daily views! Love the guy! Everyday he becomes more my idol Ochilupo too!
Incredible how Lopez doesn't really think that much of himself, considering he is one of the best pipe surfers ever.
