Gerry Lopez – Surf Legend
I was out in the lineup near the end of our session and one of the other surfers asked me, ‘Who is your friend, the guy you are surfing with? He looks familiar.’ I told him it was Darrick and then reflected that the lesson was indeed a relaxed coaching session with a highly qualified ‘friend’ who emphasized my strengths while giving me new insight into strategy and timing. I have long regarded Darrick as one of the top surfers in the world and now I have gained the same respect for him as an instructor.
