TREES TO SEAS

A Porsche Safari Party for the Slightly Unhinged

-  DILLON HOUCK

When most people hear “rally,” their minds jump to the greats like the Dakar, Monte Carlo, Trans-Siberia, etc—legendary events defined by grueling terrain, screaming engines, and drivers who eat dust for breakfast. A Porsche Safari Party for the Slightly Unhinged Those rallies are all about pushing both human and machine to the brink in unforgiving conditions.

Safari Party? Well... it's a little different. It's part rally, part adult summer camp, and part fever dream. It's an event for Porsche enthusiasts who prefer their paint chipped, their tires muddy, and their stories just a little bit unbelievable. It's a place where quarter-million-dollar builds and ten-thousand-dollar garage projects run side-by-side—where the only podium finish that matters is who brought the best campfire story.

The Visionaries

Before we even talk about the 2025 “Trees to Seas’ edition, allow me to introduce Brock and Tanner, the two friends who cooked this whole thing up. They're the kind of duo you knew in high school—the guys who made every decision together, good or bad—the ones everyone knew would either end up in trouble or doing something epic (and often both).

They're at the same time charismatic and creative, with a knack for making everyone feel welcome. Brock (and Brock, if you're reading this, I say this with love) feels like the fun uncle. He's quick to laugh, always in the middle of the action, and is somehow still making sure the event runs like clockwork. Tanner is the same way, but you can catch his mind running five steps ahead, plotting the next leg of the rally or thinking about camera angles before we even leave camp.
