A good read

Gerry comes across as a humble guy. To be honest I’d have preferred to have hear more about his competition history but all in all well worth the credit.

Brilliant

As a surfer myself I lapped this up. The narrator is wicked and Gerry’s stories are brilliant.

Could happily listen to it again.

Brilliant read

I found I could visualise exactly what the narrator was saying. Also it talked about life experiences, that you can relate to any situation.

Some great tales from the water...

As a surfer and starting my time it the water as Lopez is charging (to a lesser degree than I thought) big waves with Laird and his crew in the 90s. His name is one I associate with the best of surfing and surfers. So to hear his story and the development of the surf industry and culture was a worthy listen. Lopez is a humble surfer and the epitome of the old guard. The book is well read (although my L did think Campbell sounded a bit like Donald Trump) and the time keeps you involved in the tale.
Do you need to be a surfer or Waterman to enjoy the book......possibly not but the emotions and descriptions of the conditions will resonate deeper if you know from experience what Lopez is going through.
I will probably listen to much of it again.....soon.

Excellent listening for surfing enthusiasts

Really enjoyed this book from one of the legends of surfing! Humorous and well told with the depth and breadth that kept me totally captivated from start to finish! I was sad when I finished it!
