Last month I had a great opportunity to head down to Panama for the ISA World Junior Surfing Championships with the Pacsun USA Surf Team. I was there to gather footage and create a short lifestyle edit during the free surf days – of which there were only a couple. The trip went great, but the locals said it was the hottest it’s been down there in a very long time. Lots of fires, too, which made the heat a bit more intense!
All in all, the contest was great fun and Team USA returned home with a Copper Medal!
