SURF ATLAS/ CENTRAL AMERICA
Pavones
🇨🇷 Puntarenas, Costa Rica
One of the longest left points on the planet, in Costa Rica's far south near the Panama border. On a solid south swell, Pavones reels a single ride said to run nearly a kilometre. Warm water, rainforest backdrop and a legendary long-wall dream.
