Cory Lopez eyes spot on World Tour...again

Cory Lopez Still plugging away after 15 years

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 9 June, 2011 : - - Cory Lopez is a Gulf Coast surfer, but being from Florida has never been a hindrance to his career. He spent 10 years on the World Tour (1997 to 2007), during which time helped introduce airs to elite-level competition while simultaneously setting performance bars in waves of consequence that were introduced to the tour. His competition bonafides are tough to argue with:

He won the Billabong Pro Tahiti in 2001, the U.S. Open in 2003, three X Games gold medals when surfing was an X Games event, and gold and silver at the ISA Worlds. When he wasn't wearing a singlet, Lopez passed the time by becoming a legend at Teahupoo and freesurfing well enough to earn 10 placings in the Surfer Poll Awards.
