Gergo's Second Surf Trip

Grego finding his line on a long right

After two years of delays and last minute cancelations because of COVID Restrictions, Gergo was finally able to come back down to Panama for a couple of weeks of surf and kite-surf. Not sure if it was the lockdowns and the many months away from the ocean but Gergo was determined not only to get back to his surfing level from a couple of years back, but to progress above it. He would be the first person to paddle out and the last to come back in, didn’t matter the conditions. He was always reviewing the video analysis and working on posture and timing

Soon Gergo settled into a routine, surf all morning kite surf all afternoon, sleep then repeat… with the ocasional hiking or river tour when the tide wouldn’t allow surfing or kitesurfing

Gergo’s afternoon obsession… kite surfing into the sunset

Although we stayed near the kitesurf area, waves where pretty fun and we were able to surf almost everyday.

Gergo focuses on mobility, strength and functionality training and he was always happy to share his knowledge with us. By the second week he had eliminating all of our muscle aches and movement afflictions and had us all taking time out of our days to work on nurturing our bodies. We then understood how he could surf, kite surf and hike all in one day

Best way to cool down after a hike…. and yes, Gergo again showing as all how to have perfect posture no matter what you do :)

It was really impresive to see how much Gergo progressed after two weeks. From getting back into surfing an having a hard time making sections, to actually managing the crowd and styling his way into some of the bigger and longer waves and riding them to the shore.

Smooth and stylish
