Reviews

Don't miss this uplifting tale of fantastic surfing, saving the environment, and a greedy company's efforts to expand their business at all costs all in our sleepy little southern town of Pavones. Carol Blair Vaughn, Costa Rica Star --Carol Blair Vaughn Costa Rica Star (09/29/2015)


Pavones, Costa Rica, lay in a bucolic third world slumber until an entrepreneurial American smuggler with a Napoleonic complex paid cash for a county-sized chunk of its surf-swept coast and made himself king. Things twisted out of control from there, subsiding into a tropical stew of escapists, surfers, squatters, greed, and long clean lefts. Steve Pezman, publisher of The Surfer s Journal --Steve Pezman (03/04/2015)
