Very thorough account of surf over the decades.

i lived on Oahu, in the late 70s, when Gerry Lopez was THE name in surfing. i frequented Sunset & Waimea. so would see the Pipes surfers a lot.

Wonderful Surf Stories

Great stories told by a great story teller. Lopez's humour shines through wrapped in a large dollop of surf wisdom.

You don't need to be a surfer to enjoy it, but if you are, you'll find yourself nodding and smiling as you appreciate that even the greatest go through the same emotions in the water as the rest of us.

I loved it!

Mr. Pipeline talks story 🤙🏽

I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook, especially hearing Gerry mention people I know and surf spots I'm familiar with.

Anyone who surfs, has an interest in surfing or is looking for inspiration will enjoy this book.

Aloha

Feel like I'm a better surfer now.

Gerry Lopez takes you through it all, from his childhood to the scariest moments he's experienced surfing.

Inspiring for lifetime soul sufers

overall the book is fantastic. if you're a surfer you know who Jerry Lopez is this is absolutely worth the read. the narrator is okay he does a decent job it's not over-the-top it's not really exciting but he gets the job done. if you're a surfer this is a must-read there's so much more here than just stories about surfing pipeline. Gerry Lopez is a fine human being I had the pleasure of talking to him on the phone one time it was amazing. just get this book it'll change your life in a positive way

Surfing the 70s

Being I grew up surfing in the early 70s I could relate to many of of the stories and experiences that were expressed..along with the technical advancement of the equipment during that period
