A look back to @CoryLopez's daring performance at the 1999 Gotcha Pro. "This was a fun, adrenaline-packed heat. I pretty much put myself too deep on every wave I tried to ride. I believe I had seven wipeouts and one make. I lost the heat to Shane Powell, who surfed a smart heat catching the slightly smaller, but more make-able waves."
