Gerry Lopez Paddle Surf Lifestyle Camp returns May 21-24 to Punta Mita Mexico. Known for his holistic lifestyle approach, Lopez will offer personal Standup Paddle Board instruction, lead morning yoga practice and facilitate philosophical discussions about diet, yoga and longevity during the three-day retreat. Lopez is known for revolutionizing the sport of surfing with his tube riding ability, and earned the nickname “Mr. Pipeline” during his influential surfing career. After winning the Pipeline Masters in 1972 and 1973, the competition was renamed the Gerry Lopez Pipeline Masters. In the early 2000s, Lopez helped pioneer Standup Paddle Boarding, and now designs SUP boards in addition to teaching the sport.
“Standup Paddle Boarding has become very popular for all the right reasons,” said Lopez. “It’s a healthy, fun, family activity. Combining the SUP instruction with my love of yoga, and being able to teach yoga simultaneously, makes it a very unique experience. This spot is one of the choice spots in the world.”
