FORMER presents the second instalment in the DEFECTIVE UNITS series ; “B-Team”.

Featuring FORMER founder Dane Reynolds, Jake Kelley and Dillon Perillo on another semi-skunked surf trip to Puerto Rico. 

“Trips like that are just fun hanging with everyone. Like, obviously, you want to score waves and you want to get really good footage, that’s the ultimate goal, but just hanging with your friends, talking shit, drinking beers after surfing. That’s sort of the best part of a surf trip.”— Dane Reynolds

Where D.U V1 documented Craig and Benny surviving a month of cold water, wetsuits and a mechanical left pointbreak, Vol #2 sits at the other end of the spectrum. Warm water, cold beers, trunks, and a variety of novelty waves. The surfing is fun and relatable and the waves are inconsistent and imperfect. But that is the story, and that is DEFECTIVE UNITS. This is a series that documents the process, not just the outcome. “B-Team” is three good friends on a surf trip together grinding through whatever it takes and making the best of it. Hope you enjoy.
