Jeff Johnson, Ramón Navarro on land that now belongs to Fundación Punta de Lobos, 2015.

"This is the story of Ramón Alejandro Navarro Rojas, who rides the biggest surf on the planet to save the stunning Chilean coastline that is his home, Punta de Lobos.

Bred of nine generations of subsistence fishers and foragers, Ramon was raised to provide for his family through a deep understanding of the ocean. He has done that, however, in a way that his forefathers never imagined, by riding the biggest waves in the world.

Ramón, however, believes his accomplishments in giant surf are merely part of a much bigger vision. In stunning photos and through the voices of those who know him best and admire him most, this companion to Chris Malloy’s movie, The Fisherman’s Son, captures the spirit of this inspiring man who surfs to save the breaks and waters that he loves."

THE LEGENDARY MAUBY WOMAN

Mauby -- an enchanting drink in Trinidad and Tobago that is steeped in history and tradition. It is made from boiling the bark of a Mauby tree with additional spices. This authentic Caribbean treasure traces as far back as the first black settlers on the island and has been ceremoniously passed on from generation to generation. Mauby became so popular that by the 1900s, there were sellers who were known as Mauby women walking the streets selling the drink in pots on their heads.

Though it is known as Mauby in most of the Caribbean, some islanders may know it by a different name. In Puerto Rico, it is called Mavi. In the Dominican Republic and Haiti it is called Mabi.
