Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation
Surf Is Where You Find It by legendary tube-rider Gerry Lopez distills a lifetime of chasing waves into 246 illustrated pages of surf philosophy, travel yarns, and first-hand history. First released in 2008 by Patagonia Books, this engaging trade paperback blends biography, ocean culture, and sport to show how every lineup offers more than just a ride.
Lopez recounts sessions from Oregon to Bali, pairing personal anecdotes with reflections on board design, local etiquette, and the changing face of modern surfing. Rich photographs and sketches bring the stories to life, making the book as visually appealing as it is inspirational for young adults and longtime wave-hunters alike.
The book is in very good used condition: a crisp, unmarked interior, tight spine, and no dog-eared corners—only a minor front-paper scuff. Stored smoke-free, it’s ready for the shelf or your next road-trip read.
