Searching for Dillon Perillo

- Dillon’s one of my favorite surfers of all time, but he wouldn’t believe me if I told him that. We travelled together extensively filming for various projects right up to when his sponsors pulled the pin. I was kind of a jerk, when he asked me if Former would sponsor him I said we could use an accountant as a joke. The truth was we were just in no position to sponsor someone as a barely fledging business. Dillon flipped the script and went back to school to study economics. I didn’t see much of him for a few years and when we did see each other I’d make frat boy jokes and I still don’t know if he hated my guts but he says he never hated me when I ask.
Hunter and I have been talking about making a ‘Searching for Dillon Perillo’ film for a few years cause he vanished suddenly from the spotlight and obviously it's a parody of one of my favorite films ‘Searching for Tom Curren’ but we’re both huge fans of his surfing and wanted to do a chapter 11 vid on him to update the surf world. Then he came on this trip with us and here we are.
I didn’t see Dillon on many waves in person on this trip, I cut my dome during best part of swell and I rarely saw his waves from the front when we did surf together. When I saw the footage I was blown away, not many people surf like this. His style and technical ability are an insane combination. Stoked to showcase his surfing and tell his story, hope you enjoy!

Need to do a “searching for” Nick Rosza”
I remember he had that big comeback period. It was maybe around the time of innersection?
He hates who he was as a pro surfer. His choice not to surf
I was literally thinking that while watching. Rosa ripped so hard
Hell yea yas do
Thank you 🙏🏽
so sick! Dane is always producing fire content.
Dane if you see this comment, start a podcast. Its cool seeing some of these pro's opening up about their personal and professional surf experiences
Dillon rips. His surfing in Dear Suburbia with Dane, is insane. 🔥
I saw him out at thornhill during a Hurricane swell a few years back. He made the one of the sickest barrels I’ve ever seen in person. Will never forget it
This is epic, well done as usual boys 🍻
DP most humble surfer in the world hands down
great vid. your music selection on all your content is fantastic and my favorite among all surf vids. love that late 70's to mid 80's post-punk vibe.
That was awesome!!! Thank you for creating all that you guys create!!
So happy to get another episode of Lizards of Summer after a 5 year hiatus 🎉
I’ve always liked his no bs and introspective he seemed his surfing . This was great!
fantastic surfing from Dillon, good to see that is still spreading is beautiful style around!
Aka Disco Perillo after his unforgettable wave at Pipe.
Still to this day never seen a wipeout quiet like it.
Glad he's still alive
Everything about this was great!
Crazy to see this, i got into uni for an economics degree also and now i havent really surfed for like 2 years which sucks cause i grew up in jbay where there is like nothing to do beside surf. Getting my first board ive had in like 6months next week, just been stealing my dads stuff when ive had a chance to surf like once every 4 months
Dammmn how was that wave at 2:26!? 360 carve and chop hop into the straight air were rad
Now do Searching For Nick Rosza!
Visually Stunning and a super inspiring story. Was thinking about continuing my education recently at 40 😂 so cool man!!
that was rad to watch such a great surfer
dillion rips hes not just some guy 🔥🔥🔥 sick edit
So rad. Dillon is a legend!
Forgot how stylish he is, smooth as silk, no wasted movement
That session at Sakawa in Japan in Dear Suburbia. Would love to hear these two talk about it!
Dude seems cool to hang with
Awesome piece! I love seeing two socially awkward guys together. And so nice to hear another Polvo song! Though u forgot to credit them ❤
Don't worry, we credited them :)
@@chapter11tv93 sorry🙏❤️
I'm waiting for the Chapter 11 + Old Guys Rule t-shirt drop
rather watch him than madina or the like, sponsor him
good stuff keep it coming
Damn. Dude is still proper ripping.
Chapter 11 = Success
He surfs better than Mick Fanning ever did.
put down the bong
cheers to 'nontraditional' undergraduates. Dillon is the man!
Dane a lot of us would appreciate if you brought back some of the speed freak spongers and kneeboarders
Dude rips, sick vid!
Sweeeeet yeeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
Ultra good.
sick vid
Always been one of my fave pro's, so technically sound, so powerful, always in the critical part of the wave throwing crazy hacks, he surfs how I mind surf.. get him onto Former :)
Is this guy even 8k though?
❤❤
Backside air reverses, sort of the most unpleasant trick to do in surfing
Shuv it’s/board varials aside I’m sure those are the worst
dood rips
Put Dill on Former!!!!
sick
rad edit....

i went to high school with danes dad tom. tom was some what of a jokester also former rad .
Dillons technique 🤌🏽

Sick. Wondered what happened to that guy. Loved that era of surfing.
That footage of brek is literally just Britt merrick why Dane
Minor league is still pretty good.

Is there a more honest straightforward way?
