The Bocas del Toro archipelago just off the mainland of Panama is a hub of biodiverse rainforest where sloths and rare tree frogs roam aplenty and insane barrels role onto its reefs.
Bocas has some of the most ridiculous waves to grace Panama, on the Caribbean coastline anyway. Of course, when you live in Costa Rica, like Noe Mar McGonagle, Bocas is just a short weekend trip away over the border, with thick barrels and some pretty heavy sections awaiting; making for a perfect training ground for the previous winner of the 2015 ISA World Surfing Games. Watch and enjoy McGonagle and Carlos Muñoz rip away.
