“Mr. Pipeline” himself will be at the UC Santa Cruz Media Theatre on Saturday, May 3 from 7 to 8 p.m. for a book signing and reading from his new work, “Surf Is Where You Find It.”
Lopez launched his book tour Tuesday night in Hawaii and saw over 300 people show up to the event. He also sold out all 200 copies of the book he had brought with him! It’s safe to say that the interest in a surf town like Santa Cruz for a book penned by the man synonymous with the Pipeline will be comparable to what was seen in the islands. Lopez is still in Hawaii and will return to his home up in Bend, Oregon before heading to NorCal for Saturday’s event.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet one of surfing’s most revered and influential characters. Check out the full details by clicking the banner below.

Just for fun, ask Gerry where the name Lightning Bolt came from.
Also, and more seriously, ask him what has become of his 70’s sidekick Wayne Santos.
We used to call Lopez Charlie Chan because of his bowl shaped haircut at the time and Wayne Santos was known as Willie Bobo. When those two guys showed up at your break, the heat was on. Surprisingly, though, there were plenty of unknown locals who could stand the heat.
