Co incidentally saw 'Riding Giants' again on TV a few days ago and Gerry Lopez was a big part of that. Came across in the film as a very relaxed guy, super cool, willng to give everyone credit (other surfers, for example). You wouldn't, from his interviews, realise just how important he was and is to surfing. Certainly he doesn't blow his own trumpet
You Bali guys should, I don't know, love or hate him. Was virtually the person who 'discovered' (surfing wise) uluwatu and G-land
Odd fact: he had a part in Conan the Barbarian with Arnie. And the sequel I think.
