He was on a road trip from his then home in Maui through the Pacific Northwest that took him up through the Klamath Basin, for a stopover in Fort Klamath to quench his interest in Captain Jack. Next he was on to Crater Lake. “A beautiful sight,” he says. He followed Highway 97 through Sunriver, up toward Mt. Bachelor then back into Bend. He says, “When we went by Drake Park, we were hooked.” 🤙 Lopez made his mark early in his surf career through the late ’60s and ’70s establishing tube riding on the North Shore of Oahu. His accolades include two Pipeline Masters wins, revolutionizing short board riding, and pioneering surf spots around the world, not to mention starring in some of the most celebrated Hollywood surf movies including “Big Wednesday” and “North Shore.” 🤙 On that first trip to Bend, Lopez wandered into a snowboard shop called North Shore — the namesake of both the legendary Oahu beach where he made his name and the movie he starred in. Impressed with what he saw, he returned to Bend that winter just in time to experience the now legendary monster winter of 1992-93. The nonstop powder and unique snowboarding terrain of Mt. Bachelor Ski Area wowed Lopez. While Bend seems like a far-fetched place for a Hawaiian surf legend to relocate, Lopez did just that along with his wife Toni and then four-year-old son Alex. Twenty-seven years later, Lopez and his family still happily call Bend home.
