Team Rider Andrew Gregorie Shares His Surf Travel Essentials
Surf Station team rider Andrew “Tronberry” Gregorie has been a staple in the St. Augustine surf scene since his days at Flagler College. Though you can catch Tron showcasing his powerful style and barrel riding skills at his favorite breaks, he’s also a seasoned traveler. In his most recent pursuit of warm water and open tubes, he made the trek to Bocas Del Toro, Panama. Translating to “Mouths of the Bull”, this heavy Panamanian break break is not for the faint of heart.
So what does one need to score great waves in his Caribbean paradise? After lifetime of dedication to hunting down swell, Tron has compiled his surf travel essentials.
• Channel Islands Board Bag – The detachable shoulder strap on this bag is crucial for the airport legs of your journey.
• Vertra Face Stick – Reef safe, portable sunscreen for those long lasting sessions.
• Dakine Surf Cap – Essential for midday cloudless surf sessions for people with fair skin.
• Surf Station Quick Dry Surf Shirt – Tron recommends for rainy and sunny days to stay comfortable.
• Solar Recover Body Spray – The ultimate relief after a long day spend in the tropical sunshine. Pro tip: place it in your fridge for extra cooling comfort.
