The Founders

Hey there! I'm Sandy, a passionate surfer who didn't discover her true calling until the age of 54. Formerly a Director of Sales in the USA, I completely fell for Panama's charm. The beauty of this place, coupled with its plethora of outdoor activities, ignited a fire within me. I made the bold decision to break free from the corporate grind and reconnect with my inner child. Now, through Wanderlust Surf Adventures, I'm on a mission to not just share the wonders of Panama, but to inspire others to dive into the surf, regardless of age. After all, it's never too late—or too early—to unleash your inner child and chase your dreams.

Hello! I'm Dawes, a proud native of Pedasí, with over 10 years of surfing experience. Alongside my brother, we've proudly represented Panama in numerous international surfing competitions. Through Wanderlust, we aim to showcase not only Pedasí but the surrounding areas. Our mission is to preserve the ecology and maintain the exclusivity of these pristine locations, ensuring they remain unspoiled whilst safeguarding our culture, untouched seas, and ecosystems of these exclusive places. Join us in protecting the purity of Pedasí and its surrounding areas!

I'm just here for the ride! Placed 3rd at the Guy Harvey Sups and Pups competition Florida 2022!
