Gerry Lopez




Last night I got a chance to meet one of the surfing worlds greats, Gerry Lopez.
For those of you who aren't surfers, Gerry is like the Terry Bradshaw of football or Julius Irving of basketball. He's 60 now, so he's not one of the top pros anymore but in his day (late 60's, 70's and early 80's) he was one of the most well known. He was speaking here in Portland about his new book and signing autographs as well. I had already finished the book but definitely had him sign it. I also was able to give him the gift of one of my photos. I, the photographer, did forget to bring my camera, so I had to once again do some photoshop magic.
