Gulf of Lopez with Cory Lopez
For Floridians, stepping up in critical, big waves is expected given the groundwork laid by Cory Lopez, among others. The hard yard gains came from Pete Lopez white-knuckling to Sebastian every weekend from the west coast of Florida, punching through orange grove shore pound and six-hour round-trip runs. Big or small, kegging or not, Cory defined grit and guts along side Andy Irons, battling Kelly and others in a critical time of professional surfing. All the while, he has maintained a stellar reputation as charger, dad, and brand ambassador for O’Neill. We are proud to call him a Floridian. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.
