Mark and Marco Surf Tour

Not to be outdone by Marco, Mark sets up for a beautiful left of his own

Panama was the first stop for Mark and Marco’s “return to surf” tour. After being landlock for almost 3 years with restrictions, lockdowns and work, Mark and Marco decided that it was time to get back to surfing and what better way to do it than with a Central America all out surf trip which would start with a short surf tour in Panama. Their plan was set to start with small easy surf to slowly get back to the basics, back to surfing stamina and back to finding rhythm with the ocean; however reality ended up being much more fun than that

Interestingly enough, just about two surf sessions after the “return to surfing” both Mark and Marco had not only gotten their ocean rhythm back, but where managing crowds, taking the bigger sets and even asking for more challenging waves

From early dawn half awake sessions, to mid day burning sun sessions and late dusk “can’t feel my arms” sessions, both Mark and Marco just wouldn’t stop surfing. It seemed that they both wanted to really challenge the definition of surfing stamina.

Overall we had quite a fun few days of the “return to surf” mission, even as it seemed that they had already “returned to surf” after pretty much their first day! We hope we did help them get ready to face the waves of their next stop…. Costa Rica.
