EP 201: Gerry Lopez & Peter McCabe - Untold stories from G-Land, Pioneering surfing its mythical breaks, “Blue Angels,” G-Land Surf Camp, Peter’s appearance in North Shore, and the Surfers today pushing the caliber of surfing

Elder Gods, surfing icons, and early pioneers of the mythical
Grajagan, Gerry Lopez and Peter McCabe join us on the The Lineup!
Gerry and Peter reminisce on their extended trips to Indonesia that
earned them international reputation and fame for their tube
riding, crossover surfing, and fearlessness at its virtually
perfect waves. They reveal untold stories from East Java, their
earliest memories of surfing G-Land, and becoming regulars at the
world’s first surf camp there developed by Mike Boyum, G-Land Surf
Camp. They discuss surfing for eight to ten hours at a time and
eating one meal a day, only after finally coming in from a surf.
They reflect on their best memories performing “Blue Angels,” what
they called their surfing when they performed crossovers and rode
in the tube without ever colliding with each other as they surfed
the same wave. They look back on Peter’s history, how he got his
start and his competitive stint in surfing, and their appearances
in various films throughout their career. They wrap up the
conversation astonished by the caliber of surfing today, amazed by
its progression since they started, answering listener questions,
and giving Peter his first go with the Lightning Round. Be sure to
