- “No one’s going to do that. That’s absurd.” - Gerry Lopez when first confronted with the idea that people might pay anyone to go surfing.
Mr. Pipeline, Mr. Style, actor, shaper, surfer & snowboarder. Gerry Lopez has lived one of the fullest lives of anyone on the planet, and has stood calm in the eye of the Banzai storm like no-one before or since.
Occy caught up with Gerry at the Billabong house at Pipeline to chat about pioneering the shortboard revolution, surfing G-Land for the first time, and the worst wipeout he ever had at Pipe - literally tearing himself a new one and puncturing his colon.
This interview will have you wishing for the old days, excited for the future and wanting to pack more into your everyday existence.
Enjoy Occ-Cast episode 33 featuring Gerry Lopez.

A time capsule of the history and roots of surfing and the surfers, great one guys thanks for sharing the stories 👍🏼🗝🌍
One of the greatest interview of all time !!!!!!!
Incredible how Lopez doesn't really think that much of himself, considering he is one of the best pipe surfers ever.
A gentleman, so cool.
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 -
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
Thanks Occy. This answered a host of questions I've often wondered about.
