Pilgrim Film | Manuel Caro of Mandala Surfboards
Manuel Caro
“Surfing for me can be pretty existential. A lot of times when I surf in the evening and long after the sun sets, I try to quiet my mind and try to perceive everything around me with all my senses. I think for me, surfing is all about gratitude. It’s definitely a privilege, and I get this feeling that when I’m thanking the universe for all its gifts, it’s thanking me too.” -Manny Caro

Now a father and self-proclaimed seeker of the “soul” of surfing, Shawn enjoys sessions with friends at uncrowded peaks along his home state’s shoreline and writing about his surf related experiences.
