Dillon Perillo was a fixture in Kai Neville's surfing videos, alongside Dane Reynolds and a long list of those the director considered (and were) some of the most interesting surfers of the time.

Dillon disappeared out of nowhere and Reynolds, who now shares that he is one of his favorite surfers, went looking for him.

It turns out that after his long-time sponsor cut his contract, he decided to apply to colleges and was accepted into a couple and ended up becoming an economist.

Dane invited Dillon to Mexico and he showed that the magic is still intact.
