The path to enlightenment begins at the world’s deadliest wave. Gerry Lopez, Mr. Pipeline, is one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes—a Zen Buddhist on land who built his early career on aggressive surfing. The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez follows one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time as he brings surfing to new frontiers while pursuing stillness of body and mind. “His influence on modern surfing is immeasurable, and for the first time, his story is being told in full.” —Surfer News Network
