Content: A collection of 38 narratives, some just a few pages long, told in Gerry Lopez’s signature concise and poetic style. He describes numerous formative moments: his childhood in Hawaii during the 50s and 60s, early tube-riding at Pipeline, the discovery of legendary surf spots like Uluwatu and G-Land, and his travel around the world—always shaped by the people who accompanied him. The stories are richly illustrated with photos from his personal archive, as well as new images featured in this revised edition.

Author: Gerry Lopez (with forewords by Rob Machado and Steve Pezman). Lopez, also known as Mr. Pipeline, is considered one of the most influential surfers of his generation. With his fluid style, he made surfing the Pipeline famous worldwide in the 1970s. Alongside his surfing career, he has practiced yoga for many years—for him, the ideal complement to Surf, as it enhances balance, concentration, and inner calm. Rob Machado is a professional surfer known for his flowing technique; Steve Pezman is the founder and publisher of The Surfer’s Journal.
