Barrels, airs, and some wipeouts too.
That pretty much sums up Schuyler Allen and Tyler Larronde’s recent trip with Dark Seas to Panama’s Bocas Del Toro.
The regular footers scored a whole lotta rights in “Pana Maniacs,” Allen’s latest edit filmed by John King.
“Swell was a little big for the beach break and too small for the slabs, unfortunately. Every morning we would paddle out at the beach break and test our luck navigating the rips and packing closeouts in hopes of making one. Full Panamania’,” Allen told us.
They may not have gotten the perfect swell but we can see they still had a ton of fun with waves galore in the video above.
From airs on head-high waves to deep, overhead barrels, the video shows Allen and Larronde ripping back-to-back waves having tons of fun.
“Once the wind came onshore we would drive our gas-powered golf cart down the muddy, dirt road and search for a ramp at this little close-out to dry reef. There were four of us on the golf cart with boards and camera gear and when we would reach this hill the boys would have to get out and push just to make it over,” Allen added. “Laughing, sweating, and washing it down with cold beers and margs afterwards.”
Epic. Sounds like the perfect surf trip to us. The viewers thought so too.
Here’s some of the comments:
“So sick. Killer tracks too.” (“Sand” by GC Candy.)
“The whole video was a vibe.
“This is actually gnarly.”
“Awesome vid.”
“Gnarly.”
“Yewwwwwww.”
