Love Machine films is producing a film about Danny Fowlie and the development of Pavones. The trailer, itself a wonderful short film, is posted on the website, The Facts About Danny Fowlie and Pavones.com. You won't be disappointed: historical footage, beautiful scenery, great surfing and commentary by Mike Hynson (of Endless Summer) and Steve Pezman (of The Surfer's Journal).
Sorry, if you're actually reading this in Pavones, where our dial-up Internet isn't… just… yet… up to stateside standards, you'll slit your wrists waiting for the download. Look at it this way, maybe you can't see the movie, but you did surf this morning. All others click here.
If you think you know all there is to know about Mr. Fowlie, think again. The English/Spanish website "sifts through sensationalist depictions of Pavones and Dan Fowlie to uncover the remarkable facts about this legendary land and personage."
You'll find rich accounts of the area's history, two additional short films about Pavones, and learn interesting tidbits about the area. For example, did you know that the true "Pavon" break isn't at the Rio Claro, but a point further north, which originates in the quebrada Pavón in Cuervito?
If you're reading this wondering, "Who is Danny Fowlie and why should I care?", then educate yourself at the web site.
A few years ago Mr. Fowlie put all his Costa Rica land interests in a sociedad called Parque Pavones del Pacifico, owned by a "humanitarian foundation" Grand Pacific. The foundation's land interests in Pavones are extensive, and various area properties are flagged as "contested" in lawsuits at the Municipality of Golfito. Therefore, when considering new land purchases, it is wise to send a fax or scan of the seller's plano (the survey) to the Foundation's lawyers, who can be reached through info@parquepavones.com.
