Product description

Review

This new edition has more stories and photos and makes for a fine coffee table addition to any surfer's collection... Lopez creates a space for the people around him to feel good. He takes the time to reflect on what surfing has brought him in life and reminds us to take the time to do the same. Santa Cruz Sentinel Gerry Lopez writes as beautifully as he bottom turns. Each chapter of Surf Is Where You Find It is a wave ridden or written by one of the most stylish humans to ever pick up a board or a pen. Gerry has been one of my heroes since I was a keiki and the more time I have spent with him the more my admiration of him has grown. Whether he is talking about memories of growing up bare foot during the sugar cane days of Hawai'i, wild experiences with some of the greatest characters in surfing's history, or early uncharted expeditions to the best waves in the world, every story has something the reader can take away and apply to their own life. Reading Surf Is Where You Find It made me feel proud to be a surfer again. I hope anyone who loves the ocean will read this book and be reminded of what riding waves is all about. -- Jack Johnson There will never be another Gerry Lopez, nor a more mandatory book to have on your shelf than Surf Is Where You Find It. -- Eastern Surf Reviews

Gerry Lopez is the only Surfer I’ve ever seen so at ease within a wave that can cripple or kill you for the slightest error of petty misjudgement. I have the stitches to prove it & my only worthy memory of the Banzai Pipeline is reaching the beach with relief only to be asked to paddle back out by a stranger who told me there was somebody left out there “would I help him rescue the guy?” Ohh NO I thought but we did & the victim who’d lost his board floundered between us clutching our inner lower legs as we paddled towing his almost limp body toward shore. We were his only chance, we saved him & my colleague known as ‘Ace Cool’ an aspiring big wave rider became a friend. I never Surfed Pipeline again - happy to survive its intensity by avoiding it. Gerry Lopez simply seemed to be at home there, without fuss or fear. His rides deep in the tube were esoteric almost in slow motion, always in complete control, always mesmerising. Aloha JN

an innocent story of growing up which brings anyone back to what surfing is all about and to get back in contact with their inner self.
