About

Patagonia is in business to save our home planet. On that purpose we work hard to make moving pictures that inspire people to get outside, push themselves in the sports we do (climbing, surfing, skiing, trail running, mountain biking, fly fishing), connect more deeply with nature and to take action in support of issues we’ve hopefully helped them care about. Filmmaking is in our DNA (see Mountain of Storms on this channel - our first film, shot in 1968) but we’re not great at following trends, pleasing the algo or taking ourselves too seriously. So please enter with an open mind and if you enjoy, spread the word. Subscribe, like, and share for more.

Video Description

From award-winning documentary filmmaker, Stacy Peralta comes Patagonia’s The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez, a film that lifts the veil on one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes. While “Mr. Pipeline” is famously known for his calm demeanor in the tube, Gerry built his early career on cutthroat, aggressive surfing. Gerry is as radical as he is Zen; he transcends categorization. He’s one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time, an entrepreneur, a family man, a movie star, and a lifelong yogi who brought surfing to new frontiers. His influence on modern surfing is immeasurable, and his story is being told in full for the first time.
