thrill.
LIFE BEYOND WALLS: GALAPAGOS
We are for the explorers, for those that embrace the journey. Surfers Dillon Perillo, Brett
Barley, and Mike Gleason followed the footsteps of Charles Darwin, enduring 16 hours
or travel to reach the little known surf destination of San Cristóbal in the Galapagos. The
island, with a population under 6000, is home to the oldest permanent settlement of the
archipelago and where Darwin first went ashore in 1835.
They say that misfortune is the test of true friendship. Through lost surfboards, missed
waves, encounters with black lizards, tortoises, and sharks, the crew set out using one of
only ten boats allowed into the waters along the northern coast to get an El Niño swell
that was due to hit the island.
This is the story of their pursuit of a new kind of adventure and finding the unique. Bonds
were built experiencing the new, charting the unchartered, discovering, exploring and
pursuing the thrill.
The experience is everything.

“I’ve been traveling since about my senior year in high
school. The traveling was just suring; I only went because I
had to go or for a contest. But, the last couple years
I’ve realized that traveling
to surf opens up a lot of
opportunity to learn about
the world.
I know its cliché, but it’s true”
– Dillon Perillo

“For me, getting to come here and get up the mountain, go out,
swim with sharks…and see things hardly anyone gets to see…
that’s something I get to take home.
I might not get to see
it again, but I got to
do it that one time.”
– Brett Barley

“I didn’t really know what
to expect. I knew it was
going to be beautiful, but
my mind was blown...
Everyday we’re seeing so much and doing so much...It’s just incredible.”
– Mike Gleason
