The Fisherman’s Son: The Spirit of Ramon Navarro<\/b><\/a><\/span> (Patagonia)
\nBy Chris Malloy
\n<\/i>Ramon Navarro, a third\u00a0generation subsistence fisherman and farmer who lives on the coast of Chile at Punta Lobos, learned to surf on a busted surfboard left by a visiting surfer. Since then he has become one of the top-ten big wave riders. He has used his surfing accomplishments to protect his home break, and he is admired around the world as an environmental activist: he fights resort development on the point, the building of pulp mills along on the coast, and sewage pipes that pollute the ocean off Pichilemu. Editor Chris Malloy created the film and book\u00a0The Fisherman\u2019s Son<\/i>, which focuses on Ramon\u2019s rise to big wave fame and how Ramon is using that notoriety to make his voice heard on activism issues. Contributors to the book include Gerry Lopez, Josh Berry, and Jack Johnson. Part of the proceeds from the book and film will support Ramon\u2019s environmental efforts.<\/p>\n
