The Journey to Gerry

Posted on February 25, 2019May 18, 2022 by surfdog

The Journey to Gerry chronicles the love and pursuit of surfing on Oceans, Rivers, Lakes and Snow.  The story crosses generations of pure stoke: Jade Vamos in his 40s, Bryan Murray in his 50s and Stephen Yount in his 60s on a journey to visit 70 year old Hawaii Surfing Pioneer, Gerry Lopez at the 2019 Big Wave Challenge at Mt. Bachelor.

Before the X Games ever existed snowboarding evolved from its early surfing roots.

“We surf the rivers and we surf the lakes and we surf the snow and we surf at the ocean. But it’s all the same thing.”

“What the Big Wave Challenge brings together is snowboarding with surfing, the sport it spawned from.   Surfers brought surfing to the snow, and since the late 1970s, snowboarding has become a  popular sport with performance levels and equipment improvements continually evolving.”  –GERRY LOPEZ, BEND OREGON
