5 Lineup Shots That Prove It’s Still Nice to Sit Behind the Lens (Sometimes)

Panama is a pretty great place to escape the winter doldrums, and if you're a goofy footer you might never come home. This was a perfectly timed strike mission organized by @bgoodjonny; it was pretty easy to convince @buzzdode and myself to tag along. I pinged @patschmidt to jump on board and we all flew in with high hopes, especially seeing a lot of the heavies coming into town (Long, Slater, Garcia, the Vissla team, etc). We got our fill, surfed all over the islands, and even snuck aboard a catamaran for a few nights where Pat and I scored the cover of @easternsurfmag. Good trip to ring the alarm on, hyped to pull the trigger on that one! #my5lineups photo: @ryanstruck
