A new portrait of one of the world’s most influential surfers.
From acclaimed documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta (Dogtown and Z-Boys) comes 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.
Lopez 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, and for the first time, his story is being told in full.
So far there are two Canadian screenings, at Patagonia Toronto on July 7, and Patagonia Vancouver on July 14.
