Mr Pipeline, the absolute epitome of style. He is without a shadow of a doubt the most stylish surfer ever to have surfed the Pipeline on Oahu’s north shore. Despite growing up on the south shore of Hawaii, Gerry started hitting the North Shore when he got to High School, and in particular Pipeline.

By 1970 he led the performance revolution in surfing and he was doing things at pipe previously thought impossible, drawing lines which were simple, stylish but impossibly deep and he dominated the most challenging wave in the world. He went on to win back to back Pipe masters and led the way in what could be achieved in super hollow waves.
