Gerry Lopez: On Spirituality and Surfing

To be honest, this is the conversation I was dreaming of for so
long, since I started this podcast. So it´s still unreal for me
to have had the honor to talk with the legend himself, Mr. Gerry
Lopez, Mr. Pipeline - the shaper and face behind "Lighting bolt"
and also a lifeong practitioner of Yoga.

This man is a role model who inspired generations of Surfers and
will continue to inspire generations to come not only for his
approach to surfing but also his connection with nature and
Spirituality.

His impact on the surfing world, both as an athlete and a shaper,
has made him an influential figure and an iconic legend in the
sport.


Thanks to Gerry, Lenni from Patagonia and Andi from the Blue
Surfmagazine for having made this possible
