Searching for Dillon Perillo
Вставка

- Dillon’s one of my favorite surfers of all time, but he wouldn’t believe me if I told him that. We travelled together extensively filming for various projects right up to when his sponsors pulled the pin. I was kind of a jerk, when he asked me if Former would sponsor him I said we could use an accountant as a joke. The truth was we were just in no position to sponsor someone as a barely fledging business. Dillon flipped the script and went back to school to study economics. I didn’t see much of him for a few years and when we did see each other I’d make frat boy jokes and I still don’t know if he hated my guts but he says he never hated me when I ask.
Hunter and I have been talking about making a ‘Searching for Dillon Perillo’ film for a few years cause he vanished suddenly from the spotlight and obviously it's a parody of one of my favorite films ‘Searching for Tom Curren’ but we’re both huge fans of his surfing and wanted to do a chapter 11 vid on him to update the surf world. Then he came on this trip with us and here we are.
I didn’t see Dillon on many waves in person on this trip, I cut my dome during best part of swell and I rarely saw his waves from the front when we did surf together. When I saw the footage I was blown away, not many people surf like this. His style and technical ability are an insane combination. Stoked to showcase his surfing and tell his story, hope you enjoy!

so sick! Dane is always producing fire content.
Dane if you see this comment, start a podcast. Its cool seeing some of these pro's opening up about their personal and professional surf experiences
Need to do a “searching for” Nick Rosza”
I remember he had that big comeback period. It was maybe around the time of innersection?
He hates who he was as a pro surfer. His choice not to surf
I was literally thinking that while watching. Rosa ripped so hard
Hell yea yas do
Thank you 🙏🏽
Dillon rips. His surfing in Dear Suburbia with Dane, is insane. 🔥
rather watch him than madina or the like, sponsor him
This is epic, well done as usual boys 🍻
Now do Searching For Nick Rosza!
I saw him out at thornhill during a Hurricane swell a few years back. He made the one of the sickest barrels I’ve ever seen in person. Will never forget it
That was awesome!!! Thank you for creating all that you guys create!!
Is this guy even 8k though?
Aka Disco Perillo after his unforgettable wave at Pipe.
Still to this day never seen a wipeout quiet like it.
Glad he's still alive
Crazy to see this, i got into uni for an economics degree also and now i havent really surfed for like 2 years which sucks cause i grew up in jbay where there is like nothing to do beside surf. Getting my first board ive had in like 6months next week, just been stealing my dads stuff when ive had a chance to surf like once every 4 months
great vid. your music selection on all your content is fantastic and my favorite among all surf vids. love that late 70's to mid 80's post-punk vibe.
DP most humble surfer in the world hands down
Sweeeeet yeeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
So happy to get another episode of Lizards of Summer after a 5 year hiatus 🎉
cheers to 'nontraditional' undergraduates. Dillon is the man!
Dammmn how was that wave at 2:26!? 360 carve and chop hop into the straight air were rad
He surfs better than Mick Fanning ever did.
put down the bong
I'm waiting for the Chapter 11 + Old Guys Rule t-shirt drop
Always been one of my fave pro's, so technically sound, so powerful, always in the critical part of the wave throwing crazy hacks, he surfs how I mind surf.. get him onto Former :)
Chapter 11 = Success
Everything about this was great!
Dude seems cool to hang with
Forgot how stylish he is, smooth as silk, no wasted movement
Backside air reverses, sort of the most unpleasant trick to do in surfing
Shuv it’s/board varials aside I’m sure those are the worst
Visually Stunning and a super inspiring story. Was thinking about continuing my education recently at 40 😂 so cool man!!
that was rad to watch such a great surfer
Awesome piece! I love seeing two socially awkward guys together. And so nice to hear another Polvo song! Though u forgot to credit them ❤
Don't worry, we credited them :)
@@chapter11tv93 sorry🙏❤️
That footage of brek is literally just Britt merrick why Dane
I’ve always liked his no bs and introspective he seemed his surfing . This was great!
Dane a lot of us would appreciate if you brought back some of the speed freak spongers and kneeboarders

Sick. Wondered what happened to that guy. Loved that era of surfing.
Is Alex greys brother Chris even real?
Is there a more honest straightforward way?
Minor league is still pretty good.
