Cory Lopez

Raised on the Gulf Coast, Cory is no stranger to the cross-state jaunt to the more consistent waves of FloridaÕs Atlantic Coast. With the opening of the Ron Jon Surfpark in Orlando, CoryÕs commute just got about an hour shorter. Like Damien Hobgood, Cory plans to spend much of his time between events tuning up at the Surfpark in his bid to retain his long-standing position among the top ASP WCT rankings. Cory will also run specialty high-performance clinics at the Surfpark, giving more mortal surfers insight to his uncanny air prowess and tube-riding bravado.
