Surfing the Most HISTORIC Big Wave in Panama

Panama is known for a lot of things. Including: having great waves, however, one thing it’s not really known for is big wave surfing. You’ve probably heard of Silverbacks whenever someone brings up surfing down here & even though it’s been tackled by numerous big names throughout surfing history, it’s still a slightly underrated big wave surf spot. This place blew my mind as I surfed & saw the true potential for what’s really possible out here. It’s an honor for me to surf and experience a wave like this in my lifetime. Thank you Panama & thank you Nub Nation! FOR THE DREAM!!! – Ben

Panama offers alot of beautiful area beaches and warm surfs… Which beach was this one? And of course, they are never this big! I boogie boarded as a kid thru high school. For some reason I never could get up on a board. But just being out there in the clean clear water was ecstatic! Dry season now offers some beautiful wave seas also. Seeing you there was awesome and concurring your fears and getting that experience! Bless you amigo! Be safe Ben!

Good times for sure but Ben, I think the point has been made, you’re an above average surfer….I hope this isn’t too harsh, but don’t be satisfied with this. Go back. We know you got it in you. If you went back and sat on Bocas for two months you’d never regret those sessions and the time in on those tubes. There’s no feeling like that big water slab energy. Now that you’ve got the induction, don’t let that slip away. You have the ability.
