    Nobody made it look easier with style than Gerry Lopez.

    No leash. Appearing almost effortless. My “magic board” of the early 70’s had to have a lighting bolt on the bottom towards the nose.

    I was a teenager and watched Gerry surf PIPE in the 70s, Lots of Hard Chargers with plenty of Talent and I salute them all, I think what made Gerry above the rest and earned Him the moniker of Mr. PIPELINE was His Seemingly relaxed and casual approach to that Wave which hid all of the work that Gerry did out of the water, Yoga, meditation and a Spiritual Mindset that allowed Him to be One with that Wave and move in it with FLUIDITY and STYLE, One of A Kind!!✌❤🤗

    Gerry’s surfing is aesthetically sophisticated and timeless, surfing in tune with the wave, not attacking it. No anger, just flowing with the energy.

      I totally agree. She is so smooth and graceful. And none of that horrible rail grabbing that almost everyone does today. The truth is the surfing back then was better, and I’m not being nostalgic. I know the equipment is different come up bigger boards are more stable. I hate all that stalling and everything they do now. But I do like the acrobatics!

    at the 0:48 ....!@#$% are you fuvking kidding me...in that moment, to somehow have the audacity to be somewhat inconvenienced by the presence of some mist in his face under the lip of a giant blue spinning tube at pipe to stand tall and wipe that fuckin mist from his beautiful perfect face has got to be the single coolest fucking moment in all of surfing history without question....the face wipe...it is the most intense spectacle of surfing progression and was fucking amazing

    • @alexcorrea1854
      @alexcorrea1854 7 лет назад

      If you surf very often (like Gerry!!) the same spot at that size you would be able to do that too. Gerry was the best at Pipe because he surfed there a lot. He is the master!

    Did you notice? Did you? No one is wearing a leash ! No lifeguards...no jet ski rescues. Jerry and Rory Russell swam in. The outwash near shore sweeps you out as you fight to swim in. Had to be a strong waterman.

    How the hell were leashes not invented yet? I mean tie a rope between your leg and board, how difficult was that to figure out? Great surfing.
