Tags: Gerry Lopez

It all started with love and
That's what it's all gotta go back to … because that's the only way this world is going to work 
And I think that's what's so beautiful right now at this point in time with Stand Up Surfing
Everybody's having a good time out there, you know, with each other, 
That thing, that mutual respect for each other and that love for, you know, all the guys you're doing it with because ..
Something I hope that really stays strong, because that's really the foundation of everything in our lives
And if we don't have that, if we're not strong in that, solid in that… 
Then, then really, we don't have anything.
