“I have tremendous respect for both the mountains and the ocean. I find that they instill in me a great sense of spiritualness. I have spent many mornings looking at the freshly snow covered mountain-side. or nice waves peeling through an empty line-up feeling that I was really in the presence of something holy, something divine.”

“Surfing teaches you to be in that moment spontaneously, go with the flow smoothly. That’s how you get the most of the wave and it’s also how you get the most out of life.”

“Self-discipline can help us control our minds and our bodies, bring us a sense of peace. Surfing and yoga teaches us about living a life of harmony with nature.”

“Speaking literally and figuratively, when you get caught inside by a big set you get pounded.”

“So I would like to say that we are all here in this life to LIVE. Life is moment to moment, if somehow one moment escapes you, if you haven’t lived it to the fullest, live the next one too.”

“Keep paddling, keep breathing through your nose, live with aloha.” - Gerry Lopez
