For the 21st installment of our Journeys series, we follow along with Jeremy Koreski & Trevor Gordon on a surf exploration in Ecuador. In his own words: “I‘ve always liked traveling to places I‘ve never heard of. It‘s better that way. If I‘ve heard of a place, I figure a lot of other people will have too. And that means you‘ll find a whole lot of tourists instead of a place that‘s unique and memorable in its own way. So when a friend told me about a town in Ecuador that had one of the best beachbreaks in the world, I was all in. I knew very little about the country, except that it sat atop the Equator and exported a lot of bananas. I expected we‘d find hot, humid weather and perfect barrels with nobody around—and we did, with some amazing experiences in food and culture along the way.”
