Hidden in one of the most biodiverse places in the world, this small fishing village sees its tranquility shaken when the swell perfectly breaks one of the most extensive waves on the planet. With more than 1km, this long left moves local tourism and has already shaped countless talents in the water.
Featured on TV at OFF channel (Brazil) and available online on Amazon Prime, VimeoOnDemand & AdventureSporTv, the doc tells the story of local surfers who share the unconditional love for Pavones, the Pura Vida lifestyle, the incredible scenery of this paradise where the jungle meets the sea and the keen environmental awareness that makes Costa Rica one of the model countries in sustainability. Produced by Moana Filmes, the film was recently awarded in 2020 as Best Cinematography at Surfalorus Surf Film Festival, Outer Banks, NC (USA).
