Description

From award-winning documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta comes Patagonia’s The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez, a film that lifts the veil on one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes. While “Mr. Pipeline” is famously known for his calm demeanor in the tube, Gerry built his career with aggressive surfing that left behind a trail of blood and tears. Gerry is as radical as he is Zen; he transcends categorization. He’s one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time, an entrepreneur, a family man, a movie star and a lifelong yogi who brought surfing to new frontiers. His influence on modern surfing is immeasurable. For the first time, his story is being told in full. The screenings on June 16th and 17th will be followed by a Q&A with Gerry and director Stacy Peralta. Limited edition Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez merchandise, as well as copies of Gerry’s book, Surf Is Where You Find It, will also be available for purchase those nights, with all proceeds benefiting our nonprofit partner, Surfrider.
