ABOUT THE FILM: From award-winning documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta comes Patagonia's The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez. This film 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 early career on cutthroat, aggressive surfing. Gerry 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 his story is being told in full for the first time. - The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez Trailer
