What’s Up With...

Five things Dana Point should know this week

Rad Brat Brings Beer and Hotdogs to Dana Point THE LATEST: Where in Dana Point can you order a hot dog drizzled in peanut butter and loaded with bacon?

Rad Brat, a new hotdog and beer joint that opened on Monday, Dec. 14, next door to Hennessey’s Tavern, offers just that—dubbed “The Big Ugly” on the menu. But Rad Brat offers dogs for those with a variety of palates.

Its signature bratwurst is served with sautéed peppers, sauerkraut and Beaver Deli mustard. The Angry Samoan comes with Portuguese sausage, sweet bun, fried spam, teriyaki sauce, spicy mayo, pineapple, jalapeño salsa, green onions and Maui onion chips. For a spicier tolerance, the Fire in the Hole Rad Brat comes with jalapeño cheddar sausage, potato bun, ghost pepper cheese, Nashville-style hot sauce, jalapeños and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

As for beer selection, co-partner Cameron Collins says there are going to be eight regular beer taps, plus 20 guest taps. Collins, who is the co-founder of San Clemente-based Brew Ha Ha Productions, says he drew inspiration from his eventproduction travels.

“I had a show in Tacoma, Washington.

There was a spot up there called The Red Hot,” Collins said. “This place had hot dogs, craft beer and loud music. We had a

blast. And I thought, ‘We have to bring a spot like this to Dana Point.’”

Collins began conceptualizing a plan with Joe Wilshire, co-founder of Docent Brewery in San Juan Capistrano and Project Social in Dana Point. With talks of starting a joint Rad Brat brewing company, friends Steve Martin and Dylan Mobley joined in on the efforts.

“Dana Point just made sense as a location,” Collins said. “We really wanted to be in the Lantern District area, and all the pieces seemed to fall together.”

The idea for a bratwurst brainchild began forming in 2019, ahead of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite state and county health regulations, Collins, Martin, Mobley and Wilshire charged ahead to obtain approvals. For now, with restaurants being limited to takeout, Rad Brat offers to-go orders between noon and 8 p.m. (open until 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays).

“Once things go back to normal,

we plan on staying open until 3 a.m.,” Wilshire said. “We’ll stop serving beer at 11 p.m., but we’ll offer a condensed food menu for late hours.”

For those fiending for late-night munchies after last call at nearby bars, Rad Brat hopes to step in.

“As we developed the menu … we were all just being fat guys who like to eat,” Wilshire said. “We all contributed ideas.

We’ve got the bratwurst corn dog, we’ve got The Big Ugly, with peanut butter and bacon … and people see that and say, ‘Ew, gross!’—until they try it. It’s incredible.”

The menu also offers salads, milkshakes, the “Rad Fat Burger,” and appetizers including french fries, onion rings and pretzels with cheese sauce.

“There’s something for everyone,” Wilshire said. “This is the place to be where your belly is going to get full, you’re going to see familiar faces, and you’re going to have a good time.”

Rad Brat is located at 34091 La Plaza, Dana Point. Follow @radbratisthewurst on Instagram or visit radbrat.com for the latest updates on hours and menu options.

Bates Part of Bipartisan Effort to Reclassify Restaurants as Essential Businesses

THE LATEST: Following Southern California’s fall under a new stay-at-home order, requiring restaurants and eateries to focus solely on takeout services, State Sen. Patricia Bates and a bipartisan group of fellow lawmakers are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to reclassify the restaurant industry as an essential service.

In a letter sent on Friday, Dec. 11, to Newsom’s office and signed by 11 state senators including Bates (R-Laguna Niguel), the group implored the governor to Page 3

place restaurants under critical infrastructure “before even more damage is done to our communities.”

“The COVID-19 guidelines implemented by your Administration have had a devastating impact on the restaurants that provide critical jobs and revenue to our communities,” the letter stated. “Many restaurants have gone out of business, and now, with the approach of the winter and new guidelines that restrict indoor dining, many others will be forced to consider similar choices.”

The Southern California Region, including Orange County, was placed under a three-week, stay-at-home order beginning last week as coronavirus cases continued to skyrocket, causing a record number of hospitalizations and depleting capacity in intensive care units.

As of Thursday, Dec. 17, adjusted available ICU capacity in the region hit 0%. In Orange County on Wednesday, Dec. 16, it was also 0%.

Under the new stay-at-home restrictions, which are expected to last through at least Dec. 27, private gatherings and the mixing of households are prohibited, while maskwearing is required in all sectors.

While all in-person dining, bars, breweries, wineries, hair salons and barbershops, and personal care services must remain closed, restaurants can still offer takeout and delivery. Retail and grocery stores can remain open with 20% customer capacity.

Though some eateries have complied with the order, switching to takeout services, many around San Clemente, namely in the downtown district, have continued to operate their outdoor dining sections in order to stay afloat.

A recent survey that the National Restaurant Association conducted found that 100,000 U.S. bars and restaurants have had to close their doors either permanently or for a long-term period. The staggering figure represents roughly 15% of the industry, news outlets reported.—Shawn Raymundo

Family Medicine Physician Gives Wellness Tips THE LATEST: As anxiety mounts and COVID-19 cases continue to rise, Dr. Kayla Ramsey spoke with families about the best ways they can stay safe and level-headed.

Ramsey—who works at the Hoag Medical Group location in San Clemente— shared health advice with Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) families during a virtual town hall hosted by the district on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

The pandemic has affected kids’ mental health because they’ve been forced to change their routines and have had to miss significant life events including typical ceremonies, Ramsey said.

(Cont. on page 4) danapointtimes.com

EYE ON DP (Cont. from page 3) “They’ve had breaks in the continuity of health care,” Ramsey said. “A lot of these kids have been missing their immunizations. They haven’t been able to have access to a lot of mental health and occupational health services.”

Kids don’t always have the words to express their worries, Ramsey said. Symptoms to watch out for include increased irritability, trouble sleeping, losing interest in activities they previously enjoyed, and changes in eating habits.

Virtual learning has also presented a new world for students and families. Keeping a daily schedule is important, Ramsey said. That includes setting a time to wake up, get dressed, and have breakfast.

“Having enough breaks (is recommended)—young kids may not be able to focus with virtual learning as easily as, maybe, the older kids,” Ramsey said. “Allowing 20 minutes of class, followed by 10 minutes of physical activity and a little bit of a break (is beneficial). Older kids may be able to focus a bit longer.”

Even with the increase in virtual learning and time spent on electronic devices, Ramsey recommended not getting completely absorbed by technology.

“Limits are so important,” Ramsey said.

“As always, technology should be used constructively. You shouldn’t push out sleep, family time.”

Ramsey recommended hand-washing, as have most health experts throughout the pandemic.

Ramsey also mentioned the incoming vaccine, which will initially be distributed to frontline health care workers and highrisk individuals, with availability to the general public coming later.

“A lot of places are expected to get this vaccine pretty soon,” Ramsey said. “I know some counties are already distributing it.”

Mass vaccination is expected to be available in the spring. —Collin Breaux

School Board Passes Cultural Proficiency Plan THE LATEST: Following protests against racial inequity this summer, the Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) Board of Trustees approved a wide-ranging plan intended to address racist and cultural harassment, make schools more welcoming climates, and support LGBTQ+ students.

The Cultural Proficiency Plan has been in the works since October 2019 and was officially approved during a Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 16.

The plan will include anti-bullying training for school staff; fostering multiple ways for students to report bullying; addressing chronic absenteeism among disabled, Black, homeless, foster care, Hispanic, and socially and economically disadvantaged students through parent outreach; and examining and ideally rectifying Dana Point Times December 18-24, 2020

relatively few changes—not that the suggestions are not great. It’s just that we’re talking about editing from the dais, basically,” Jones said. “And that is always a bad practice. I feel like I would like to pass this tonight and maybe revisit it with the input of CUSD Against Racism.”

The Cultural Proficiency Task Force will meet regularly to monitor the implementation of the plan and will share progress with the board, according to a staff report.

In other board news, Braunstein and Davis were sworn in as new trustees after winning the November elections.

Braunstein unseated former Board President Jim Reardon in the election for Area 2, which covers portions of San Juan Capistrano. Reardon had served on the board for eight years.

Davis won a close race against fellow candidate Sue Hill for Area 3, which covers portions of San Clemente. Former Area 3 Trustee Patricia Holloway did not run for reelection.

Castellanos and Hanacek were also sworn in again for their seats in Areas 5 and 1, respectively. Castellanos won reelection against challengers Paul Hebbard and Jasmine Funes, while Hanacek was unopposed in the election.

Area 5 covers portions of Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel; Area 1 covers portions of San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Dana Point, including

adversely disproportionate suspension rates among those students, among other measures.

“This (conversation) is really ongoing, and it’s fantastic,” Trustee Amy Hanacek said. “The sooner we can take all this amazing work and not let it lag, the more energy we have towards our goals.”

The plan passed by a 6-1 vote. Trustees Gila Jones, Judy Bullockus, Martha McNicholas, Pamela Braunstein, Krista Castellanos and Hanacek voted yes.

Trustee Lisa Davis, who studied the plan but wanted to see more information, voted no.

The plan incorporates feedback from the district’s Cultural Proficiency Task Force, which formed in fall 2019, as well as from members of the group CUSD Against Racism and trustees. District office members and school management representatives are on the Cultural Proficiency Task Force.

CUSD Against Racism organizers who had commented during the Dec. 16 meeting said they were glad to see the plan come forth and appreciated the hard work that went into it, but they urged district officials to continue further with anti-racist measures, and be transparent and accountable in doing so.

Jones said the board should approve the plan, so it’s “on the table,” and the plan can be tweaked as needed as time goes on.

Crews Respond to Vegetation Fire in Dana Point; No Injuries or Structure Damage THE LATEST: Orange County firefighters responded to a vegetation fire at around 2 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 16, behind the DoubleTree Suites

by Hilton Hotel Doheny Beach in Dana Point.

The fire expanded to about threequarters of an acre on the 34400 block of Pacific Coast Highway, leading authorities to close down the southbound PCH overpass that leads to Camino Las Ramblas and entry ramps to Interstate 5.

“Crews were able to put out the fire within 20 minutes,” said Orange County Fire Authority public information officer Thanh Nguyen.

As of around 2:30 p.m., crews monitored the scene for hotspots. No structures were threatened, and there were no reported injuries, according to Nguyen.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.—LB danapointtimes.com

Climate Change’s Negative Impact on Parks

“N

ature. That’s the one thing that tips the balance in terms of living here in California. Within minutes, I can be in a desert, at the ocean, in a park, and that’s the most nourishing food for my soul.” – Lara Pulver, English actress.

Whether we were born here or are transplants, we love our parks, but climate change is having a negative impact on them. The warming ocean and air temperatures concurrent with the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions skyrocketing since the industrial revolution have dire consequences on our more than 280 California State Parks.

Letters to the Editor HIGH PRAISE FOR OC SHERIFF BARNES DILAN SWIFT, San Clemente

Relationships between citizens and government are girded by trust. Citizens trust officials to lead and implement policy based on consensus, common sense, and in all residents’ best interests.

Officials trust citizens to make safe and responsible decisions while adhering to the law. Thank you, Gov. Newsom and OC Sheriff Barnes, for reminding us of the importance of trust as we navigate this pandemic.

Despite recent personal “mistakes” in violating his own policies, Gov. Newsom reinstated lockdown criteria. On Sunday, our county entered lockdown after ICU availability (in the Southern California region) dropped below 15%.

Furthermore, the governor has threatened to withhold state and federal funding from counties that refuse to use law enforcement to enforce these regulations.

Sadly, this new shutdown will be the death knell for many of our small businesses that faithfully adhered to regulations thus far.

increase in shoreline erosion will shrink popular California State Park beaches, and threaten many facilities.

We have already seen that at Doheny State Beach with the loss of parking spaces, and at the beach south of Doheny, with the loss of bathrooms, erosion of the walking/ bike trail and the loss of the basketball court.

Tide pool animals typical of Southern California are replacing colderwater species along the central coast, competing GUEST OPINION with local species.

By Chris Kramer A few inches of sealevel rise could mean the loss of thousands of acres of valuable wildlife habitat.

Some spring wildflowers are already blooming earlier than before, disturbing their relationship with pollinators.

In Joshua Tree, the loss of trees will reduce bird species by 40%.

The State Park System’s 1.6 million acres are a rich storehouse of biodiversity, and the park works to preserve, protect and expand park wildlands to make it possible for many climate-threatened species to survive.

Our parks are doing their part to reduce greenhouse gases by making their facilities more energy-efficient, relying more on solar power, and using lower-emission vehicles.

But even with these actions, human-caused

Slowing the spread is universally supported, but using law enforcement to impose this new set of restrictions, as Gov. Newsom expects, is spurious and erodes trust between our citizens and elected officials.

OC Sheriff Barnes has taken a bold stand against this nonsense. I encourage readers of this newspaper to read the sheriff’s recent press release (Orange County Sheriff’s Department News Release 5, December 2020) for an example of community trust building.

What our governor has shown us is a lack of trust to make health decisions for our families and community. Conversely, Sheriff Barnes has committed to working in a positive way to build trust and enable residents and small businesses to do their best in this trying time.

While we work on building trust at the local level with level-headed officials like Sheriff Barnes, I trust the governor to continue to enjoy his generous taxpayerprovided salary and secure government job as our small businesses continue to face financial calamity.

emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are changing California.

Regardless of Earth’s historical fluctuations between warm and cool, wet and dry, the proven relationship between increasing temperature and dramatic CO2 levels since the 1800s is fact. To save the planet from runaway temperature rise, we must stop the increase in the atmospheric CO2.

Please read the excellent web version of the Park’s brochure “Climate Change and California State Parks” for more information.

And don’t be discouraged! You can make a difference by reducing your “carbon footprint.” Keep reading future columns for actions you can take.

It was truly a delight to take our children to the community event at our local park, that provided them with an opportunity to give Santa their letters, a small treat down a chute, and a safe-distanced Santa experience. Everyone was respectful of each other’s distancing while waiting, masked up, and Santa had his protective shield with roped barrier to keep safe distance from the kids for a picture. Additionally, my daughter was delighted to receive a personalized response letter from Santa, even noting the colored picture she drew on the card. Thank you to the staff for those personal touches. Both the Santa and Halloween Trolley events were a wonderful touch on this difficult year.

GUEST OPINION: Community, Sustainability, Prosperity by Hoiyin Ip

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Time for Farmers Market

F

armers markets have become the lifeline for many small farms. “[Coronavirus has] been particularly taxing on California’s smaller farms, some of which have seen their restaurant orders all but vanish and their farmers markets sales decline because of decreased foot traffic,” reported a Los Angeles Times article in November: “Weary but determined, California’s small, family-owned farms fight through the pandemic.”

These smaller farms are making hard decisions to reduce costs, including cutting down trees to reduce the water bill.

I don’t know anyone who dislikes the concept of a farmers market.

It’s tasty and nutritious food. It’s an enjoyable shopping experience.

But many people rarely COMMUNITY, go. Some think it’s more SUSTAINABILITY, expensive than chain PROSPERITY

By Hoiyin Ip stores. Some think it’s not as convenient as chain stores. I want to share my perspectives, hoping to encourage you to explore the market.

• Farmers market oranges are a better deal. They come in a five-pound bag for $5. At Costco, they come in a 13-pound box for $12.99. And, they cost more at grocery stores. You can return the plastic mesh bag to the farmer for reuse. But the store packaging may only get “wishcycled.” As we know, the recycling rate is below 10%, and we’re running out of landfill space.

• Farmers market produce doesn’t come with the annoying packaging. At the store, every cauliflower is wrapped in plastic, every bunch of kale has a twist tie, every apple has a sticker. None of these is recyclable. I suggest setting a budget for eating fresh food directly from farmers and reducing waste at the same time. An easy way to stick with the budget is to pay cash, which saves the farmers a credit-card processing fee, too.

• Farmers markets often offer local raw honey. Some people swear by it as an allergy remedy. Some of the other benefits of raw honey are boosting immunity and helping digestion. The honey comes in a glass jar, which you can return for cash back.

Give it a try this weekend. Dana Point’s farmers market is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in La Plaza Park at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway & Golden Lantern. San Clemente’s farmers market is open every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Community Center/Public Library parking lot at 100 N. Calle Seville.

Your purchases are much appreciated, not just by the farmers, but also by many others who are suffering during this socioeconomic crisis. According to Feeding the Economy, in 2019, California agriculture generated 2,805,547 direct jobs, $138.54 billion of business taxes, and $25.42 billion of exports. Patriotism can practically start with helping local small farms survive now.

Photo: Los Angeles Public Library

HERE ARE A FEW OTHER IDEAS: • Share your farmers market pictures on social media. Tell your friends and neighbors your farmers market stories.

• Support farm-to-table restaurants.

• Ask your grocery store to buy from local small farms. According to the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, in the US, food travels an average of 1,494 miles from farm to table. This should be changed. We need more local jobs and less air pollution.

Since everyone agrees the variety and quality of the food our local small farmers provide is world-class, let’s really enjoy it.

Hoiyin Ip is often recognized on the street as the plastic lady for her cleanup work. But she likes to think of herself as a guardian of the ocean. She is often reminded of a quote by former California Coastal Commission Executive Director Peter Douglas: “The coast is never saved. It’s always being saved.” DP PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to provide our readers with a wide variety of opinions from our community, Dana Point Times provides Guest Opinion opportunities in which selected columnists’ opinions are shared.

igh school and youth sports finally have a pathway to a return to play, as the California Department of Public Health delivered long-awaited and delayed state guidance on sports on Monday, Dec. 14.

The guidance is tied to the state’s fourtiered, color-coded coronavirus monitoring system, with sports assigned to the different colored risk tiers based on indoor or outdoor venues and low, moderate or high contact within those sports.

The guidelines also mark Jan. 25 as the earliest start date for competition, provided that the county or region is no longer under the state’s regional stay-at-home order. Orange County and Southern California are currently under a stay-at-home order through Dec. 27, and if that order is extended, it could continue at least through Jan. 17.

The CDPH will reevaluate the situation and the Jan. 25 start date on Jan. 4. The CIF-Southern Section is slated to update its fall sports championship plans on Jan. 19.

High school sports are spread throughout the four tiers, which may come as good news for those teams in the purple “widespread” and red “substantial” risk levels, but not great news for those teams in the orange “moderate” and yellow “minimal” risk tiers.

In the purple tier, outdoor low-contact sports such as cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field are able to return. Orange County has been back in the purple tier since the state pulled an “emergency brake” on the monitoring system on Nov. 16. Cross country is the only fall sport in this group, which makes it the only sport potentially able to start on Jan. 25.

In the red tier, outdoor moderate-contact sports such as baseball, cheerleading, girls lacrosse and softball can return to competition. Orange County was in the red tier for 10 weeks from Sept. 8 until Nov. 16.

In the orange tier, outdoor high-contact sports such as football, boys lacrosse, soccer and water polo will be able to return, as well as indoor low-contact sports such as volleyball. Orange County has not entered the orange tier since the tier system

was introduced on Aug. 28. The county seemed ready to move to the orange tier at the end of September before a slight uptick held the metrics at the red level.

In the yellow tier, indoor moderate- and high-contact sports such as basketball, cheerleading and wrestling will be able to return.

The CIF State office and the 10 CIF sections had first sent a plan to the CDPH for review in October. That plan also was linked to the state’s tier system, but the plan called for sports to be allowed in the top two tiers.

“It is important to note that what was recommended by our CIF Sports Medicine Advisory Committee is not what we see here,” CIF-SS Commissioner Rob Wigod said. “We requested that all sports be conducted in the Red Tier and were hopeful that we would be allowed to proceed accordingly. While that is not the case today, I want to assure you that the dialogue will continue between the CIF and the California Department of Public Health to try and advocate for the return of education-based athletics as soon as that can happen in a healthy and safe way.”

Unless the guidelines are adapted or the coronavirus tracking metrics take a dramatic turn for the better in the new year, CIF-SS competition in high-profile sports such as football and basketball could be far away. All of Southern California is currently in the purple tier, and almost all of the CIF-SS counties have been in red or purple since the system was introduced.

Monday’s guidance was the first state guidance on sports since Aug. 3. After the shutdown in mid-March, Orange County allowed youth practices on June 15, but the state counteracted that with guidance on July 8. Capistrano Unified School District programs have been running conditioning workouts since Aug. 18, and the CIF-SS originally planned to return to play with a starting date of Dec. 12.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-0102. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective 1/1/2021 you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 2019-0102 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

SCOOP ON THE LOCAL SURF COMMUNITY

Olympics-Bound A Conversation with USA Surfing’s Greg Cruse

BY JAKE HOWARD, DANA POINT TIMES

F

or San Clemente’s Greg Cruse, 2020 was supposed to be the culmination of a life’s work. He was supposed to lead the first-ever United States Surf Team in their Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games. Then came COVID-19, and everything changed.

Undeterred, Cruse, the CEO of USA Surfing, the governing body of the U.S. surf program, has made good use of the year-long break. The Olympic team, comprising San Clemente residents Kolohe Andino and Caroline Marks, as well as World Champs Carissa Moore and John John Florence, has come together more under Cruse’s leadership.

And the coaching staff, led by former U.S. Open winner Brett Simpson, continues to work with the surfers who are bound for the Tokyo Games next summer, as well as the up-and-coming talent emerging from around the country.

Of course, none of this has been easy. Cruse will be the first one to tell you that all of this has been a lot of work, as is anything worth doing. Dana Point Times caught up with him last week, and here’s what he had to say:

It’s been a crazy year, obviously. Can we start with a status update on the U.S. surf program and the Olympics?

Sure, let’s start with the Olympics and work our way backwards. Obviously, the postponement was a huge disappointment for everyone. But it actually has been a little bit of a silver lining for us, because we had some athletes that were still dealing with some injury issues. John John (Florence) was rehabilitating his knee after surgery— even though he jumped into the Pipe Masters to seal his spot on the team. And Kolohe (Andino) had his nicks and dings, as did Caroline Marks. So, everybody’s healthy now, and that’s a silver lining.

Do you think the Olympics could be postponed again next summer?

They’re definitely running the Olympics, according to everyone that I’ve spoken with. Whether there’ll be spec-

ai McPhillips recently dropped a new video edit entitled Bloodlines. Showcasing the 18-year-old’s vast talent and impeccable style, the film project, as the name would imply, also features a fair bit of ripping from Kai, as well as the rest of his family.

Kai is one of four kids, and his siblings Dax, Ezra and Steele also make appearances in the video, as does their father, Colin. As far as surfing families go, the McPhillips’ roots run deep.

“Being able to share surfing with my dad, my two younger brothers and my sister, it means the world to me,” Kai explained in the film. “And to have them as my best friends, it’s just a bonus.”

tators allowed, I think that still has yet to be determined.

They’ve put together some pretty strict protocols for going over there and training.

Will there be a time when the team can go over to Japan and train for the Games?

The team definitely needs to spend some time together.

And everyone needs to work on boards. I’ve already talked to Matt Biolos about it. Three of the four surfers on the team ride Mayhem shapes. Hopefully, he will be allowed to come and work on some equipment with everyone.

And then we can all leave some boards there at our house for the Olympics, so everyone doesn’t have to travel with all their boards. That’s the idea, but whether the schedule works out or whether we can get everyone together or not, we’ll see.

When it’s time to travel to the Games next summer, do you have an idea of what that looks like?

This is going to be a new experience for everyone, including the surfers. Most of them haven’t spent that much time in Japan. None of them have been in an Olympics, which is a whole different level of security and craziness that goes with

Shredding on some Timmy Patterson-shaped boards lately, the powerful regular-footer will be leading the charge for the San Clemente High surf team.

There is no doubt that his passion, experience and pure stoke for surfing will help lead the team to Kai McPhillips. Photo: Courtesy of Kai great heights.

it. Then you add all the COVID-19 protocols and precautions.

It’s going to be a strain mentally on them, so my job, as I view it, is to reduce that as much as possible and make sure they’re comfortable, acclimated, have everything they need and that they’re ready to perform at their best.

Before we go, just want to get your take on what surfing in the Olympics means to you?

I think it’ll be cool. And I think everyone involved in it wants to show the true authentic, beautiful nature of the sport. They’re going to keep it core. I can’t wait.
