Power to Speak

10 years to turn around dependence on fossil fuels

A

new report last month from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) issued another in a long line of serious warnings to policy makers around the planet — global heating is still on the increase, and its dire effects are growing fast, both in frequency and in intensity.

Every time over the past decades that the IPCC has issued new findings, they are always painting a more dangerous picture than before, of global heating’s effect on the ecological balance of our little blue planet as it spins around the sun.

We are in a decade of critical importance to the future health of all life on Earth — we only have these 10 years to turn around our dependence on fossil fuels to power our planetary society — as the damage done by burning these fuels might otherwise increase to where the heating is, with our current knowledge, unstoppable.

Here are some news items from the last few weeks, to describe some of the new tools being put into place to assist in our response to the climate crisis,

and to bring you updates on recent scientific studies.

U.S. and French scientists used 2019 and 2020 data from a European satellite to evaluate methane plumes from fossil fuel facilities worldwide.

They found enough “super-emitter” methane leaks to represent around 10% of all methane leaks from oil and gas operations worldwide. The good news is that these gigantic methane leaks are reasonably cheap to seal, particularly as methane is 25 times more potent at heating the planet than carbon dioxide (which is by far the largest climate changing gas, by volume). Other giant methane emitters include landfills.

In 2023 the Environmental Defense Funds is preparing to launch a new methane-sniffing satellite that will be able to monitor methane from 80% of the world’s oil and gas operations.

California, working with NASA and others, will also be launching satellites to measure climate heating emissions.

The federal Securities and Exchange Commission is embarking on a new directive from the Biden administra-

tion to require all publicly traded companies to disclose their businesses’ climate footprints, and the climate-related risks they face.

It’s time for us — to jump! A new climate initiative asks people to take six fairly simple steps, which if widely adopted could make a large impact on our nation’s global heating footprint.

“The Jump” campaign’s six steps: 1. Eat a largely plant-based diet, with healthy portions and no waste.

2. Buy no more than three new items of clothing per year.

3. Keep electrical products for at least seven years.

4. Take no more than one short haul flight every three years and one long haul flight every eight years.

5. Get rid of personal motor vehicles if you can – and if not, keep hold of your existing vehicle for longer.

6. Make at least one life shift to nudge the system — like moving to a green energy electricity provider, insulating your home, or changing your pension supplier.

While the nation’s new solar, wind

and battery storage facilities completed in 2021 created 28 gigawatts of new green energy, this rate must quickly double to meet President Biden’s goal for a carbon-free power sector by 2035.

Interestingly, Texas far outdid California in new green energy in 2021. Texas completed 7,352 megawatts of new wind, solar and storage facilities, about three times that achieved in California last year. Texas also has 50% more such facilities being built or developed, than does California currently.

The task of moving supplies of renewable energy around the nation is a daunting one, requiring long-distance transmission facilities almost everywhere. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is now poised to take a role in the green energy revolution, and must play a part in approving transmission line construction costing maybe $350 billion over 10 years.

And for a look at what still needs to change right away — worldwide government subsidies to fossil fuel projects and other projects damaging to wildlife (such as deforestation) are still flowing at the rate of $1.8 trillion dollars per

by Alasdair Coyne year. That’s 2% of global GDP. Governments will be asked at 2022’s COP15 biodiversity conference in China to eradicate such environmentally harmful subsidies by 2030.

So now to end on a genuinely happy note. Climate science is always expanding, and the word until recently was that after building a carbon-free society, it would still take many decades for the dangerous climate storms, fires, floods and heatwaves to begin to drop.

But recent re-evaluations are saying that this period could be as short as three to five years. So, when we reach zero emissions, global temperatures will stop rising very quickly. But please remember — we still have only this decade to do most of the heavy lifting towards getting to zero emissions.

Time is short. Delays must not be permitted. Please work to help this shift moving forward.

NEWS Ventura County implements Voters Choice Act Vote Centers and Vote-By-Mail ballots for all

by Kimberly Rivers

T

he California Secretary of State has approved the Election Administration Plan (EAP) submitted by Mark Lunn, Ventura County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, which lays out how the county will fully implement the Voters Choice Act (VCA), adopted by the state in 2016. The plan will take effect in the next election, the state’s Direct Primary Election, on June 7, 2022.

“We are thrilled about our EAP approval,” said Lunn. “With VCA elections, voters will have more choices on where, when and how they cast their ballot. It encourages participation by removing the limitations of one-day voting.”

Many aspects of the new approach were rolled out during the past two elections in the state, held during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first main difference

voters experienced in voting during the pandemic, which is part of the new permanent model, is the use of Vote Centers for in-person voting.

These centers are no longer tied to where a voter lives, meaning that a voter opting to vote in-person can cast their ballot at any Vote Center in the county where they are registered to vote. The most convenient location might be near work, on the way home or in one’s residential neighborhood.

“The advantage of Vote Centers versus being limited to your neighborhood polling place is that you can go to any one in the county, and you have several days to do so,” said Lunn. “Or, just stay home and vote your mail ballot; it’s equally valid and vastly more convenient.”

The second major difference, also rolled out during the two pandemic-era elections, is that all registered voters will receive a Vote-By-Mail ballot. Previously voters had to opt-in to receive a Vote-By-Mail ballot. Ballots will be mailed to Ventura County registered voters on May 9. These ballots can be mailed, no postage necessary, through the U.S. Postal Service or submitted to any Vote

Ventura County will have 52 Vote Centers and 38 official ballot drop boxes across the county. Ten of the centers will be open starting on May 28, offering eleven days of in-person voting. The additional 41 centers will open four days

before election day.

Information postcards will be mailed in March and April with a notification about these changes and a complete Voter Information Guide, including a sample ballot, will be mailed to all registered voters in late April. That guide will include a

complete list of all Vote Center and ballot dropbox locations.

For questions about the new VCA model, contact the Ventura County Elections Division at 805654-2664, or visit the Ventura County Elections Division website, venturavote.org.

FOCUS ON SURFBOARD SHAPERS

Interviewed by Warren Barrett

“I constantly try to develop new ways to help surfers go faster and move freely on the waves.”

Robert Weiner Roberts Surfboards 1362 Tower Square, Unit 1, Ventura 805-658-6855 Anacapa Surf N Sport 1005 S. Harbor Blvd., Oxnard 805-382-1602 www.robertssurf.com How did you start shaping and when?

I started surfing in 1969 at just 9 years old. And I’ve always loved art.

So building surfboards felt natural — it must be in my blood. Building boards started at a really young age, but I got serious about shaping in 1994. That’s when the Roberts brand came to life.

What designs are you most excited about?

I’ve always been interested in high-performance surfboards. I constantly try to develop new ways to help surfers go faster and move freely on the waves. Continuously improving my designs is part of what keeps me motivated. “The Goods” and “The Turbo Charger” are a couple of my newer shapes that really embody that vision, but the artsy side of shaping and surfing is always going to inspire me, too. This year we are releasing three new models: Classic Fish, Classic Single +2, and a Classic Mid Pin. These are beautiful boards with resin tints — all easy and fun to ride.

How do you feel about machine-shaped boards?

I think the shaping machine is an incredible tool! I’ve hand-shaped thousands of surfboards over the years.

Now that my brand has grown, we build a lot more boards each week.

The shaping machine allows me to still

8—

— March 31, 2022

work on each board personally. Once a surfboard is cut on the machine, it is still just a surfboard blank that needs to be shaped. The machine makes the big cut and I get to spend more time fine-tuning each board after. But not everyone feels the same about this technology and it’s often seen as a way to sell-out. The way I look at it, the shaping machine is as useful of a tool as an electric planer. Hand-shapers use electric planers to shape their boards, and the shaping machine is just a more accurate electric planer. It also helps us duplicate magic surfboard models over and over, which gives the customer a much more predictable, finished surfboard — win, win!

Which other shapers have influenced you?

Ben Aipa was a big influence on me, along with Casey McCrystal and Sam Cammack. I started working on surfboards full time in 1989 at the McCrystal factory in Oxnard. Casey and Sam taught me so much. I got to work on Ben Aipa’s shapes, glassing and sanding them. Those guys had a huge impact on who I am as a shaper.

What are your favorite things about living and surfing in and around Ventura?

I love the proximity of everything.

My house, favorite surf spot, my surfboard factory, and my new surf shop, Anacapa Surf N Sport, are all within 10 minutes of each other. This allows me to send more time doing what I love instead of driving all the time. Although I will always drive as far as I need to find the best waves.

Luckily, that wave is sometimes right here in Ventura.

Christian Beamish Surfboards California christianbeamish.com How did you start shaping and when?

I shaped my first board in Santa Cruz when I was in college at [University of California, Santa Cruz] in 1995, inspired by what Dave Parmenter was doing with his Stub Vector design — a wide-nosed, low-rocker three fin with a wide tail block.

The board provided an alternative to the Slater-style “elf-shoe” shapes of mainstream high-performance surfing at that time.

The shaping took place on saw horses with a sure form, and I think I may have free handed the outline with a pencil. It was a good board, and from that point on I made my own boards exclusively, picking up planers, tools and templates along the way.

What designs are you most excited about?

I love channel bottoms — both twin fins and singles.

How do you feel about machine-shaped boards?

For the longest time I was anti-machine shaping, and I still hold to the hand-shaping ethos. But now that I have my own label and I shape professionally, I'm realizing that essentially, it's good design that best serves the surfer — however the board ends

“Ventura occupies a particular place in our state's surf culture, with an emphasis on performance over appearance.” up under his or her feet.

I do believe that it's important to consider the scale of our work, and the impact of it. Naturally, I need to support my family and I want to be financially successful, but I don't think I need to set up factories on every continent and fill surf-shop racks the world over to do so.

Which other shapers have influenced you?

I grew up down in Newport Beach in the late ’70s and ’80s . . . We were lucky to have Greg Pautsch making McCoy surfboards. He's probably the main guy, but also the Aussies like Allan Byrne, the Brothers Neilsen, MR [Mark Richards] and Simon Anderson. But back to California — Russell’s guns and Stüssy's work are also big influences. I have to mention George Downing, Pat Curren, Diffenderfer and Brewer too — because those guys' boards represent the bloodline that we all descend from as shapers.

What are your favorite things about living and surfing in and around Ventura?

I love the offshore wind pattern here in winter. It makes for incredible surfing experiences. And there is a very high level of surfing on these beaches, too. Ventura occupies a particular place in our state's surf culture, with an emphasis on performance over appearance.

“Started working in 1963 . . . the Quonset hut next to us was where Yvon Chouinard was making mountain climbing equipment.”

Photo by Luis Chavez

Bill "Blinky" Hubina Ventura Surf Shop 88 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura 805-643-1062 shopvss.com

How did you start shaping and when?

Started working in 1963 with Tom Hale of Ventura Surf Shop and Tom Morey of Australian Surfboard. We were in a Quonset hut at the end of Santa Clara Street. The Quonset hut next to us was where Yvon Chouinard was making mountain climbing equipment. In 1964 Morey changed his surfboard name to Morey; he made boards under that name for a few months until he formed a partnership with Karl Pope. They opened the shop on Front Street in 1964 with me as their first employee!

In 1965 they sent me down to Clark Foam to learn how to glue up blanks for the rockers we needed. This led to rough shaping for Richard Deese. Richard was a master craftsman and had previously work with Dewey Weber and other shops in the South Bay. In early 1967, along with Dennis Ryder, I left Morey Pope to start William Dennis surfboards. Within a few months I was shaping my first 7’11” board for myself, which at the time was short for a 185-pound surfer.

What designs are you most excited about?

My designs at that time were the most exciting, with the boards getting shorter and shorter.

There was no one to copy, so every board was an original. I would ride it, learn from it, then sell it so I could make another one. In the spring of that year, surfing Rincon, I met Bob McTavish; he was looking for a place to shape. During the next few months between his board orders and mine, I could buy my first drum of resin.

I still get excited about every board we make at the shop. At 78 years old, I now rely on a great group of team riders to give me feedback so we can constantly improve the shapes.

How do you feel about machine-shaped boards?

There is a place for the shaping machine. A lot of shapers that have been shaping for years would say that it’s sad it was invented. It was originally made to increase board production in larger shops to meet the surfboard demand.

This is and was in my opinion a proper use of a shaping machine.

I used to shape 20 to 30 short boards a week in the ’60s and ’70s. Eventually I had young shapers

10 —

— March 31, 2022

I trained to help in production. This is before the machine and is what a lot of shapers have done.

Now I use the shaping machine to meet demand and keep the shapes consistent for John Gianelli, who I have been passing on my skills to for the last two years. It is nice at my age to only shape when you want to, just to keep up the stokes!

I don’t believe the machine should be used by shapers without hand-shaping experience of a few years. Because of demand in the sport during the last few years, there have been a lot of new shapers using the machine who are making boards way beyond their skills at the cost of the shapers they copy! Thank God for the few older shapers and young shapers with fresh shaping designs that only hand shape.

Which other shapers have influenced you?

In my shaping I have been constantly influenced by other shapers and hopefully influenced others. I have to give credit to Richard Deese and Bob Cooper for my shaping, along with every other skill needed to build a surfboard. I have a great respect for Reynolds Yater, who has been shaping longer than anyone in our area. Malcolm Campbell, Wayne Rich, Robert Weiner and Spencer Kellogg are great friends and shapers who share their skills without question.

What are your favorite things about living and surfing in and around Ventura?

Living in a small town on the beach can’t get any better. Started surfing the point in 1960, in 1961 I went to Ventura College, so getting poor grades can be partially blamed on surfing! Ventura County has a lot of surf from the county line to Rincon. Of course in the ’60s, the golden age of surfing, the waves were less crowded, surfers from other areas were few and things couldn’t be better!

Things have changed over the years. Where there used to be only a few spots we surfed, now every spot that has waves gets surfed. Popular places can be overcrowded and frustrating to some surfers that have been spoiled from the early years. Surfing and living is still better here than a lot of other beach towns, there are still a lot of waves to be ridden by those that work a little harder to get them.

I am so glad that I have been living and surfing here all these years, making surfboards, making friends, plus having one of the oldest family businesses in Ventura . . . with the same phone number silence 1967.

John Simon

Simon Shapes 1362 Tower Square, Suite 2, Ventura 805-218-9775 simonshapes.com How did you start shaping and when?

I started shaping in 2016. I had been cleaning at the Hoyte Surfboards factory on Ventura Avenue for a couple of years.

Russell Hoyte was kind enough to open one of his shaping rooms to my friends and me to shape our first few boards and show us some things. That first experience got us hooked on it.

What designs are you most excited about?

There are a lot of designs that really excite me at the moment.

Lately I’ve been shaping and riding a lot of different quad fin boards. I’ve been incorporating steps, inverted panel V, and different concave configurations on the bottoms of my shapes — which have been mainly fishes, eggs, alternative performance shortboards, and step up boards for bigger surf. I’ve also been shaping and glassing a few boards with flexible tails, which have been fun.

How do you feel about machine-shaped boards?

Hand shaping definitely means a lot to me. It’s a lot of fun and is very fulfilling. It

“There seems to be a growing number of people getting into hand shaping, and it feels really cool to be a part of it.” Photo by Miles Jackler was the only type of shaping that I was exposed to when I was younger. The machine seems like it’s an awesome tool that is great for consistency and reproducing shapes at larger quantities. I don't think of one as better than the other. Both methods of production have the ability to create amazing surfboards.

There seem to be a lot of surfboard consumers who care about how their board was shaped. I think transparency on this subject to the consumer is important and fair to them.

There seems to be a growing number of people getting into hand shaping, and it feels really cool to be a part of it.

Which other shapers have influenced you?

Michael Arenal, Ryan Lovelace, Ryan Burch and many others.

What are your favorite things about living and surfing in and around Ventura?

I enjoy the variety of waves and the convenience of things.

The community is very diverse and there are a lot of people doing really cool things within it. I feel lucky to have shop space in Ventura that is so close to the beach, and to have surfboard building materials that are so easily accessible.

“Our dad . . . suggested that we learn to make our own boards because things would be changing rapidly and we would not be able to afford to keep up otherwise.”

Campbell Brothers Surfboards bonzer5.com How did you start shaping and when?

My brother Duncan shaped our first board in 1968. The “shortboard revolution” was picking up steam. Our dad saw the writing on the wall. He suggested that we learn to make our own boards because things would be changing rapidly and we would not be able to afford to keep up otherwise. Our course was set from that day on.

the board works well, I have it mapped and create a file in order that it can be reproduced by machine cutting it. Hand shaping allows me to have a more direct creative connection with my shapes. If a customer wants me to shape him a shape that I do not have files for, I do not take time to create a special file; I just hand shape it.

What designs are you most excited about?

At present the most dynamic thing in surfboards is just the sheer variety of shapes that are being ridden. In 1970 my dad, my brother and I designed the first three-fin, double-concave surfboard. We have been pretty much focused on our Bonzer 3 and Bonzer 5 fin designs ever since.

Which other shapers have influenced you?

We were heavily influenced by Wayne Lynch and a couple of other Australians during the late 1960s and early ’70s. While working with Bing Surfboards in 1973-74, we picked up a lot of shaping techniques and a few template ideas from Bing Copeland and Mike Eaton. In 1976 Australian Richard Harvey spent some time with us and we gleaned some knowledge from him; and in the early 1990s, master shaper Max McDonald showed me some very handy shaping tricks.

How do you feel about machine-shaped boards?

Machine-shaped boards can be better or worse than a hand-shaped board. I look at the shaping machines in a purely practical manner. They allow a shaper to maintain consistency when repeating a particular shape. It is also easier to document small adjustments to a shape and to increase productivity using the machine. I do not design new shapes on the machine. I hand shape the originals. If

What are your favorite things about living and surfing in and around Ventura?

I have lived in Oxnard since 1966. The Oxnard/Ventura area was an exceptional place to grow up; plenty of good waves, close enough to LA if necessary and only a hop, skip and a jump to leave the hustle and bustle of Southern California. Despite all of the major changes, it's still a pretty darn nice place to live.

Steve Walden

Walden’s Surfboards 853 E. Front St., Ventura 805-643-1717 www.waldensurfboards.com How did you start shaping and when?

I guess you could say it began in high school wood shop. I made my first wood kneeboard.

I started shaping surfboards in 1962 in my parents' garage. In 1969, I opened my first surf shop in Huntington Beach called Walden Wave Boards. By 1970, the brand expanded so much I started Dyno Manufacturing, which made my label as well as boards for some of the greatest surfers of the era including Corky Carroll, David Nuuhiwa, John Peck and Dale Dobson.

What designs are you most excited about?

“. . . the Original Magic Model. I think it’s the best board I have ever shaped and everything I shape now is inspired by the Magic.”

It will always be the Original Magic Model.

I think it’s the best board I have ever shaped and everything I shape now is inspired by the Magic. I love Magic because it does two simple but amazing things: It makes catching waves easier and the more waves you catch, the more you ride. At the end of the day, most people just want more fun wave time. That being said, what makes the Magic so exciting is it’s still super high performance, the ease of catching waves on it shouldn’t fool you into thinking it’s just an entry-level board. The Magic is for the beginner and the expert and that’s cool to me.

How do you feel about machine-shaped boards?

I think they have added better duplicating ability to produce a great riding board. Most shapers have boards that work really well and the best way to make an exact copy is by machining. I still do full shapes with specialty custom boards, but machining is the best way to produce a master design from a Magic board.

Which other shapers have influenced you?

I didn’t enter the sport at the very beginning but damn near close, so I’ve met so many master craftsmen along the way — from The Greek [Bob Bolen] to my dear friend Bob McTavish. So many, but a real maverick was Tom Morey. Think about how many kids started surfing because they started out on a Morey Boogie board? He was so innovative and never stuck in the past, he was always forward thinking, which I really admire.

What are your favorite things about living and surfing in and around Ventura?

I love this place! Such a great assortment of breaks from beach to point to reef breaks and all very accessible within a few miles. I feel blessed that I live, work and shape on one of the greatest surf cities in the country with world-class breaks.

QUEEN of the COAST A short history of Rincon Point, 1939-69

by Vince Burns

T

Carpinteria High School’s surfing class of 1967. The boys (L-R): Bernie Baker, Kent Williams, Bill Wheeler, Jeff Boyd and Mark Campbell. The girls (L-R): Barbara Swing, Sarah Christie, Shelley Milne, Linda Gonzales, Jeanne Russell and Pam Cleveland. (Endpaper, CHS 1967 yearbook)

he Chumash had a sizable settlement (called Shuku) at Rincon Point, so it’s likely that their ancestors were the first people to “surf” the Point, riding their sleek plank tomols onto the beach after fishing or trading excursions. By contrast, modern Americans have been riding the waves of the “Queen of the Coast” on boards for less than a century. Between the Chumash and this year’s Rincon Classic, there’s enough surf history to fill a large book. Until that is written, here is a small down payment: an abbreviated surf history of Rincon Point.

IN THE BEGINNING

Before wetsuits, crowds, branded beachwear and kooks, there were the lifeguards. As best we can tell, two Santa Barbara lifeguards were the first to ride massive wooden boards at Rincon Point. In the 1930s, Gates Foss (1915-1990) and Mike Sturmer regularly surfed “Three Mile,” so 14 — — March 31, 2022

called because of its distance from the Carpinteria train station. Photographs show both men (wearing their lifeguard pith helmets) in a lineup of presumed local lifeguards holding their gigantic boards around 1938.

We also have a photograph of Foss riding good-sized waves at Rincon Point around the early 1940s.

Between the lifeguards and the early 1950s we have a gap in the surf record at Rincon. We know very little about 1940s Rincon Point. Probably a lucky few had the waves to themselves, but pulling their names from the salty mists of surf history is difficult. Joe Quigg (1925-2021) was one of those early pioneers.

Quigg, sometimes called the “Father of the Modern Surfboard,” even designed a board to match the long-ride potential at Rincon. But most surf action took part down south, where Malibu was becoming “the” California point break and attracting everyone who was anyone in surfing. It was a small club; only a few hundred Californians rode any

BEATNIKS and SURFERS

But in the early 1950s change was coming, and not just at Malibu.

Passions were stirring that had been stifled by the Depression and war, California’s population was booming, and new surfboard designs and tech-

nologies (from aeronautics) allowed surfboards to be lighter and more maneuverable. In short, the conditions for a cultural explosion were gathering.

The protagonists were a gang of free-thinkers and partiers who had completed their military service and were now interested in fun. Some of these pioneers would eventually

discover their talents for business or design and soon helped create the surf “industry.” Others were vaguely influenced by the counterculture beatniks.

Whether dreamer or schemer, most arrived in our area with few goals other than sun, (beer) suds and pursuing the opposite sex. Many were attracted by the University of California, Santa

Barbara’s predecessor institutions, low rents and access to great waves.

Non-conformity was in the air — not the draft-dodging variety, but the “let’s rent a cheap house in Summerland with a bunch of friends so we can surf every day and party every night” variety . . . while nominally attending school on G.I. Bill money.

Toward the end of the decade, the last ingredient for the surf revolution came on scene in the form of a spunky, pint-sized surfing neophyte named Gidget. Although the Gidget film with Sandra Dee dripped saccharine sweetness, the original book was saltier (see sidebar) and meshes well with what we know of 1950s Rincon, which had a distinctly bohemian vibe. As surf historians Peter Westwick and Peter Neushul(1) have pointed out, it’s no coincidence that Kerouac’s beatnik bible On the Road and the semi-fictional biography of Gidget both appeared in 1957. (Guess which sold better!) Something was indeed in the air.

was no Malibu, partly because it fired in the winter rather than the summer.

The Point’s semi-isolation gave it a mystical vibe that attracted some of the best talents and moments in surf culture. Perhaps the most important transplant was living-legend Renny Yater, who created his own classic surfing style and then built a line of boards around that style, wave-tested daily at the Point. Yater founded his Santa Barbara Surf Shop in 1959, famously bringing out in 1964 a highly maneuverable 10-footer that worked best in long point break surf . . . like that at Rincon.

In addition to the Yater Spoon, other canonical Rincon moments began to pile up: Kemp Aaberg’s signature back-arch (performed at Rincon) became the Surfer magazine logo (1961). And of course the Beach Boys referenced the Point in “Surfin’ Safari” (1962). Rincon was definitely on the map.

THE CLASS OF 1967

By the 1960s, home-grown talent could often outshine their peers from down south. And why not? Thanks to mentors like Billy Meng and Ken Kesson, the locals had been surfing the Point since childhood. Carpinteria High School (CHS) was so loaded

it needed 18-year-old males to keep it going, even nice boys from Ventura and Carpinteria.

“I have lived that moment in time all my life,” says Bernie Baker (b. 1949), a professional surf photographer and longtime Surfer magazine editor. One of those pictured, Baker wasn’t referring so much to that sunny day with friends at the beach in 1966, but to his

“Listen, Gidget,” he said with a big smirk, “there are other things than surf-riding, praise the Lord.”

“Are there? Well, you can eat them raw . . . Bite it,” I said, and headed for the surf.

So goes a scene in Fred Kohner’s Gidget (1957), suggesting that Gidget was salty and more committed to surfing than chasing boys. Today, Kathy Kohner Zuckerman (b. 1941), whose father loosely based the character on his surf-smitten daughter, is going strong. Did she ever surf Rincon? Kohner Zuckerman believes she probably did, during a trip with Miki Dora in the aftermath of the book and film.

HERE COMES EVERYBODY

Gidget’s impact on the culture and surf scene cannot be overstated.

Thousands of SoCal gremmies coveted the Malibu culture of Gidget and Moondoggie. And why not? Surfing had everything: sex appeal, the beach, showmanship and, most of all, “cool,” a term and aesthetic just coming into its moment.

So who were the standouts at Rincon in these early days? Pre-Gidget, Dick Metz (b. 1929) and Billy Meng (b. 1930) were two well-known transplants from down south who first surfed Rincon in 1951. Post-Gidget, the floodgates opened: Rincon pilgrims included Mickey Munoz (b.

1937), brothers Kemp (b. 1940) and Denny Aaberg (b. 1947), Renny Yater (b. 1932), Bob Simmons (1919-1954), Matt Kivlin (1929-2014) and Ken Kesson (1928-2015).

And Gidget/Kohner was by no means the only woman in the water, even in these early days. We know of several women surfers at Rincon in the early 1950s. Perhaps the most famous: Ventura’s own “Mondo’s Mary.” Mary Monks (1919-2009) was a diminutive and fearless surfer who rode the Rincon Point waves beginning in 1955 at the tender age of 36. Monks was given her nickname by early Ventura surfer Jack Cantrell (1928-2012) for her prowess at the beach break between Rincon and Ventura.

The meteorological facts: A collection of North Pacific storms merged into a monster front stretching from the Aleutians to Hawaii, generating deadly surf at Kauai and the North Shore. By early December the storm took aim at the California coast. To meet the swell, a half-forgotten cast of characters (perhaps 12 in all) paddled out on the afternoon of Dec. 5 to test themselves

An image that encapsulates this golden moment in local surfing culture is one featuring students posing in Fall 1966 for a CHS yearbook photo that has become a Rincon icon. Besides its beauty and gorgeous color, the image captures the fleeting nature of youth — one can almost hear the surf music coming from the transistor radio. Making the scene all the more poignant: The Vietnam War raged on the other side of the Pacific from Rincon and

entire early life in Carpinteria, a youth spent in the waves or riding his bike (and lugging a massive longboard) along the railroad path to get in a quick surf at the Point after school. For Baker and the others in the photograph, surfing wasn’t just a youthful pastime but a lifelong commitment.

THE SWELL OF 1969

For Rincon fans, the year 1969 isn’t remembered for the moon landing or Woodstock but for an epic swell that closed out the decade. The year had started off terribly, first with a massive flood and then with the shattering oil spill at Union Oil’s Platform A, which soiled beaches from Ventura to Santa Barbara (and led eventually to the environmental movement). But the annus horribilis of 1969 ended with a fabled swell that 50 years later is still shrouded in myth and legend.

against the waves of the century.

Surfing stories can be a bit like fish stories. A continually embellished narrative is passed from surfer to surfer but nothing is written down. In short, a fact-checker’s and historian’s nightmare. So we are lucky to have separate accounts from two principals: Mike Davis(2) and George Greenough(3).

They describe in detail not only their own waves and experiences, but also the remarkable surf conditions that day at Rincon Point.

Here’s their story: on Friday, Dec. 5, various road closures made access to Rincon difficult (highways and piers were closed, beach houses pummeled) just as the massive waves arrived on schedule, with surf building throughout the afternoon. Davis (b. 1947) arrived at the Point with Stu Fredericks and Miki Dora to see 15-plusfoot waves breaking, with each set’s waves bigger than the last. Greenough (b. 1941) was already in the water on his five-foot belly board. Also on scene were recent CHS grads Kevin

Sears and Jeff Boyd. The group was confronted with a difficult paddle-out because the waves were breaking far out. The swell had revealed that the reef at Rincon (the accumulated debris from thousands of years of Rincon Creek runoff) extended further out to sea than anyone had thought.

After a long paddle, Davis caught a massive wave, estimated to be 20-30 feet. But it was the iconoclast board innovator, filmographer and all-round waterman George Greenough who had the last word, catching the final wave of the day as darkness closed in.

After reading Davis’s memories of the day, Greenough recently dove deeply into Rincon’s bathymetry (water-depth data) to explain the physics behind the waves that afternoon.

Greenough’s account (told with original drawings and calculations) is an impressive re-telling of his adventure that day. The highlight is a second-by-second record of the “Fantasy Wave” he rode just past sunset. He started his ride an astonishing twothirds of a mile out to sea from the beach and nearly completed a 7,000foot ride, ending at the old Rincon sea wall along the highway.

Surfing phenom Sage Erickson has sought the rush of winning since she was 14

by Madeline Nathaus Surfing is what I know and part of who I am,” said Ojaiborn professional surfer Sage Erickson, 31. “I love the unpredictability and the challenge of adapting to conditions. You don’t pay for it, and no one is in control of it out there. That’s a beautiful thing.”

Although raised in Ventura County, Erickson, a two-time U.S. Open champion, did not find her passion for surfing until she moved to the North Shore of Oahu. When Erickson was just 9 years old, her father found a job on the island. That decision would lead Erickson to find her lifelong love.

Ojai to Hawaii and back again

Boogie boarded and played in the sand while her older brother surfed nearby. Before the age of 10, she had never been on a surfboard, but her brother’s dedication to the sport inspired her to start riding the waves.

Not much later, she participated in the North Shore Menehune Surf contest in Haleiwa, Hawaii, her first competition that she can remember.

A few years later, Erickson’s mother got island fever and decided to move back to the mainland. By age 14, Erickson was once again in Ojai — with the ocean still nearby.

“Being born and raised in California, our heart and family is here,” Erickson said. “I had fallen in love with surfing so much that being close to the ocean was a must.”

Her mother allowed her to go to junior high in Ventura so she could be closer to the water and surf after school. The big move did not discourage Erickson from competing, either. Still 14 years old, Erickson entered the National Scholastic Surfing Association’s event at Mandalay Shores in Oxnard — and won.

“I can remember the feeling of winning that competition like it was yesterday,” Erickson said. “That was the beginning of my love for competing. I knew I wanted to work towards achieving that feeling again.”

Riding the wave to stardom

Since that fateful competition energized a young Erickson to continue 18 —

her competitive streak, she has participated in over 60 major surfing contests. In 2017, she won her first world championship at the U.S. Open in Huntington Beach and won again in 2019.

“That first U.S. Open win felt like it was a win for not only myself but for my family, for my sponsors that had stuck with me throughout my career and for God who stayed faithful to my dreams,” Erickson said. “I always battled confidence in my ability when I came up against certain surfers that I thought were better than me. That win showed me that those thoughts were not true. I could do anything I put my mind and heart into.”

Recently, she placed first in the

World Surf League’s (WSL) SLO CAL Open, which took place Feb. 24-27 in Morro Bay. Though Erickson said the conditions were ideal this time around, she added that the waves can typically be rough there since the Central Coast is faced with challenging conditions like intense wind. Nonetheless, Erickson said it was “awesome” to be back in Morro Bay, as she grew up surfing those waters from a young age and many of her first junior competitions took place there.

She followed that up with the WSL Ron Jon Roxy Pro in Cocoa Beach, Florida, in March, taking second place. She also plans to participate in some of the Challenger Series events

“The past two years of competing have been so different due to COVID,” Erickson said. “Competing on an international platform has been difficult. Expenses and quarantine regulations have changed what I knew. This year feeling somewhat normal really excites me again.”

Fortunately for Erickson, she said she will soon be traveling to Barbados and Norway for some surfing events. She said she is particularly looking forward to her trip to Norway since her ethnicity is of Norse descent. She said that she cannot wait to feel and experience the culture there.

Even with all her exotic and vast travels, she said Ventura is still home.

“I live in Ventura because it’s the best place in the world,” said Erickson. “I’ve traveled all over the planet for the last 15 years, and Ventura has it all. It’s close to everything I could want and need like the ocean and the mountains. I love my community of friends and business owners here.”

Outside of surfing (which she does almost everyday), Erickson said she loves playing with her dogs at Ventura’s local parks and beaches, gar-

She’s also found leisure in surfing once again. She said since she isn’t currently on tour, she doesn’t put as much pressure on herself to train.

She noted that this past year she has been falling in love with surfing for the fun of the sport, rather than for

the competitive aspect.

“Continue to chase after something that calls you to grow as a person,” Erickson said. “It’s okay at first if what you’re pursuing feels out of place or a long shot. Listen for advice, pursue people with experience in the field, don’t be harsh on yourself, give grace and do it your way. If someone criticizes, don’t take it personally.

Push hard and work hard.”

ike the fabled King Midas of Greek myth, everything Dimitri Poulos has touched of late has turned to gold.

The 19-year-old Ventura native has placed first in the Southwest Open Men’s division of the National Scholastic Surfing Association three times in a row (2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20). In the 2019-20 season, he practically blew his competition out of the water, with a conference total of 19,700 points — nearly 5,000 points more than second-place finisher Jojo Whelan.

In addition, he turned in a gold medal-winning performance at the 2019 VISSLA International Surfing Association’s World Junior Surfing Championship. Taking the individual gold in the Boys U-18 Division (for surfers under 18 years of age), 22 —

Poulos helped propel Team USA to the top, where he and his teammates picked up the overall Team Gold in the global junior surfing competition. Notably, Poulos wasn’t originally selected to compete, but came in as a last-minute replacement — a major stroke of luck, in retrospect, for Team USA. Surf competitions skidded to a halt (along with everything else) in 2020, but the two-year hiatus didn’t dull Poulos’ edge. Fresh out of the gate in January, he won the Rincon Brewery Pro division at the 2022 Channel Islands Surfboards Rincon Classic. Now in his first year competing in the Qualifying Series of the World Surf League (WSL), Poulos is aiming to rack up the points needed to earn a spot in the Holy Grail for today’s pro surfer: the WSL’s Championship Tour.

Wunderkind

Born into a family of surfing enthusiasts, Poulos practically grew up on the waves of Ventura County. He learned to surf around 4 or 5 years of age, taught by his father, and admired the prowess of local legends like Matt and Mike McCabe.

“I remember seeing them with sponsor stickers on their surfboards and wearing branded clothing,” recalls the Ventura native, speaking to the Ventura County Reporter by phone from Barbados. “I wanted to be like those guys.”

A fun family activity evolved into a passion, helped in no small part

by Poulos’ natural talent, and before long, he could be found before and after school at Ventura Harbor and C Street. By middle school, he was competing, usually with the National Scholastic Surfing Association, one

Dimitri Poulos has a lot to smile about. of the most high-profile organizations for amateur surfers. Around age 11, he landed his first sponsorship, with California surf accessory company Pro-Lite. Shortly thereafter, other brands started showing interest in the rising star.

“Over the years of competing . . . I kinda just met people in the industry . . . kinda just fell down the rabbit

hole,” Poulos says.

Surf apparel giant O’Neill has been sponsoring Poulos for the last three years, and he started working with Red Bull not long after.

At just 19 years old, Poulos has racked up an impressive number of wins. glorious spots on the planet, and getting paid to do something they love.

Poulos has a dream job, but it’s still a job — and he gives props to his team of supporters who help him be the best he can be.

First and foremost among them: his family.

“Everyone in my family plays a role,” he says.

He credits his dad as the “driving force,” who taught him to surf, encouraged and coached him, and was the eye behind the lens for many of Poulos’ early photos and films (which helped bring him the social media exposure essential for today’s pros).

“My mom took care of all the travel plans and booking,” he says. “And she’s teaching me to do it for myself now, too.”

His younger sister, 16, and brother,

A beautiful carve.

9, are a source of joy and companionship: “I surf with them and have fun.”

“We’re all very close,” Poulos continues. “Surfing is a part of all of our lives . . . It’s fun knowing we all have something in common that we can do together.”

Someone else in his corner is surf coach Mike “Slamz” Lamm. Oxnardbased Lamm is a legendary surfer in his own right, with nine national titles to his name (he’s also the owner of Channel Islands Kayak Center). Under his guidance, Poulos has refined his technique and gained the skills necessary for taking the next step in his professional career.

“I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it wasn’t for him.”

The grind

Right now, Poulos is on Barbados, awaiting the Barbados Surf

Pro, where he’ll be taking on the Caribbean island nation’s infamous Soup Bowl. Before that, he spent some time in the Dominican Republic and Florida, as he surfs his way through the grueling World Surf League (WSL) circuit.

The WSL, established in 1976 with headquarters in Santa Monica, is described on its website as the “global home for surfing.”

There are more than 180 contests offered around the world, with tours at various levels: the Qualifying Series (QS), Challenger Series and Championship Tour. Competing in these contests earns a surfer points (and prize money), which accumulate to allow them to move up to the next level. Poulos describes the Challenger Series as akin to minor league baseball or college football, while the Championship Tour is

comparable to the National Football League. Only the top surfers get to compete on the Championship Tour (in 2022, that includes 36 men and 18 women) which offers the greatest prestige and biggest purses.

The Championship Tour is the ultimate goal for pro surfers, and to get there, surfers have to compete in the Challenger Series. But to reach Challenger, they have to accumulate points by competing in QS events.

This is known as “the grind”: There are contests all over the world, and it takes time, money and stamina to succeed . . . all in the service of accumulating points and reaching the next level.

The locations are beautiful, of course, but the contests are demanding — and highly competitive, with every young hopeful going against surfers as talented, dedicated and hungry as themselves.

“You can’t make mistakes,” Poulos affirms. “Everything has to line up right — the wave, the weather, your technique.”

And there are a lot of unknowns, no matter how experienced or talented the surfer.

“It’s different every single time,” Poulos explains, and because surf conditions determine when a contest takes place, it can be wildly unpredictable. “A lot of stuff is very last minute. With surfing, you can’t predict anything at all. You’re at the mercy of the ocean. Literally anything can happen.”

Still, Poulos wouldn’t have it any other way. “[Surfing] can be relaxing,” he says. “You’re just in the ocean. No

Poulos is grateful to have had the opportunity to travel far and wide in search of the best waves and the top titles. But he says that the social aspect of surfing is equally inspiring. “It connects you with people. It’s a platform to meet tons of people. And if you have friends that surf, it’s something you can do with your friends.”

The frequent globe trotter remains a local boy at heart. After Barbados, he’s looking forward to coming home for a spell, and surfing Ventura Point and the harbor — two favorite spots — with his brother and sister. He attends Ventura College (albeit remotely) and happily supports Ventura-based Roberts Surfboards. “We have a couple of board designs that are my go-tos.”

During the pandemic, he had the opportunity to slow down, enjoy life and keep to his local waters.

“We surfed as much as we could,” Poulos says with a laugh, referencing the beach closures in the early days of the shutdown. “There was a lot of walking and parking in weird places to get to the beach. It was relaxing to hang out at home, surf and spend time with friends. Being on the road, you miss out on a lot.”

Since he’s been home, he’s had the chance to see the talented groms of Ventura County taking the amateur circuit by storm. Poulos cited Jack Zoltan, Holden Osborne and brothers Owen and Fynn Neth as the next generation of surfers to keep an eye on.

For others aiming to go the pro surf route, Poulos has some words of advice. “Stay super persistent.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t be afraid to get outside help, like a coach.”

It has been said that fortune favors the bold and the prepared.

Poulos is showing himself to be both. We’re stoked to watch the surging skills of this exciting young surfer, and fully expect him to ride the waves into an epic career.

The stunning ocean and surf photography of David Pu’u

Filmmmaker Bruce Brown (1937-2017) at his home in Gaviota. I finally met Bruce after he had called me to shoot him for a New York Post feature surrounding the release of his and his son Dana’s film, Step Into Liquid. We became close friends, and over the years his stories of life, love and career educated me in ways that matter to this day.

I

f it involves a lens, David Pu’u has probably done it.

The photographer and filmmaker has had his work featured in just about every medium, from advertisements to the pages of magazines and newspapers to television, cinema and literature. Pu’u has shot for the cover of Sports Illustrated, the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times — among many other publications — and for years was a staff photographer for the beloved Surfer magazine (which sadly folded in 2020). Locally, his work can be found at the new Ocean Room Gallery, adjacent to Betty Belts in downtown Ventura.

His greatest love and natural element is water, and his ability to capture the magnificence and might of the ocean world is unparalleled. The Ventura County Reporter is privileged to showcase this visionary artist in our inaugural Surf Issue.

Mary Osborne, Grand Anse, La Digue Island, Seychelles. We had left Maldives to travel to Seychelles as guests of the government there, with writer Michael Kew, cinematographer Tyler Swain, surfers Holly Beck and Nicole de Leon. We produced a feature called Bridge to Eden while there and were cared for royally by Guillame Albert, son of one of the settlers of the island nation.

Surfers Point here, from Winter 2021. Still from a motion segment via my little flying robot (DJI Mavic Pro 2). When I am doing commercial or production work I hire out a UAV (drone) crew-operator. But I own one myself and sometimes send it up when conditions are especially unique.

Brazilian Carlos Burle, Peahi, Maui during the 1999-2000 season first World Tow Surfing Championship. Shot with the Canon 1VHS and Tokina 300MM F 2.8 lens using Fuji Provia 100 film rated at 200, pushed 1 1/3 stops in chemistry.

Shot ran all over the world. Carlos and I went on to become pals and I trained with him and big wave world record holder Maya Gabeira under K38 Rescue in PWC [personal watercraft] and Rescue Ops. There is a lot which goes on behind the scenes to prepare for filming waves of consequence.

Surfers Mary Osborne and Tiare Thomas, at Tongs, South Shore of Oahu. A high-speed sync strobe shot which wound up as part of a cover montage in Surfer magazine’s “Big” Issue, which would come out once per year. I scored that cover twice, actually.

This was my first published watershot from my first swimming surfing shoot.

Was published initially in Surfing magazine. Surfer is Adam Virs who is riding a board I built. He won that State Men’s amateur title on the board later that season, I believe. At the time I was coaching a bunch of kids and shooting with a few. Both Adam and Bobby Martinez became two of the winningest amateur surfers in the sport’s history that next year.

Colin Dwyer, Mavericks Contest, Half Moon Bay, Calif. Colin is the son of my lifelong pal Steve Dwyer, who lives up there. He is riding a gun made by Randy Cone, master craftsman and big wave rider, who was trained under me as a surfer and shaper.

Mike Parsons, towed by Brad Gerlach. Peahi, Maui. Winter of 1999-2000 World Tow Championship. Funny thing is that I actually surfed a few pro heats against these two and years later this went down. That is Don Shearer piloting the helicopter with director Peter Fuszard on our overcranked Arri 3 filming motion. Both this still sequence and motion sequences wound up being historic in nature and each ran everywhere globally. Still was covered by Sports Illustrated twice and was the poster for the Billabong XXL film as well. Safety Coordinator Archie Kalepa was standing next to me as I shot this from our camera and medical boat. I think we both held our breath while Mike narrowly avoided chalking at the bottom, and made this wave.

Hannah Fraser, Maldives. We would stage our frames with surfers and “mermaid,” creating this amazing fantasy interplay in motion and stills. [Surfers Aubrey and Mary Osborne are not visible here.]

Performance Artist Hannah Fraser, Maldives. Hannah would build these functional monofin tails when she was on Bali. We spent 10 days shipboard here and would get ferried to our shooting location in a Dohni [a type of fishing vessel]. That is what was happening here. Then I would pick her up and lower her into the water and we would spend hours chasing around with motion picture, video and stills cameras. I did not set foot on land for the entire time and we had the Maldivians pretty convinced regarding Hannah’s “mermaidness” (she would never speak).

■ CALIFORNIA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Gov’t issued coins that everyone will be trying to get could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s including all those shown in today’s publication. In addition, after each bag is loaded with over 200 rarely seen coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks are never searched to determine collector values. So you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.

“The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint.

That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S.

Government. As Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this.

Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain

rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Lynne.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends.

This is very important. After the Vault Bags were loaded with over 200 Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends.

“Remember this, we cannot stop

collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne.

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 a.m. this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with the rarely seen coins pictured left and highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing

Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels.

“With all these collectible Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne.

Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside.

If you find your zip code listed, call 1-800-869-3164 EXT.UV32852 immediately. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■

The return of Twanguero Spanish guitarist Diego Garcia brings his mix of flamenco, rock and twang to Ventura

by Nancy D. Lackey Shaffer

T

he Ventura Music Festival is back full force this summer, with an exciting lineup planned for July 29-Aug. 7. But fans will get a bit of an amuse-bouche come April 9, thanks to a special concert to be held at the Ventura College Performing Arts Center.

And what a succulent taste it is: Festival favorite Diego Garcia, aka Twanguero, returns to wow fans with his original blend of Spanish classical guitar, flamenco, rock and blues — a mix some have called “rockabilly mambo.”

Classical guitar + classic rock

Garcia, born in the coastal city of Valencia, Spain, began studying classical guitar when he was 6 years old.

“My parents wanted me to study . . . that Spanish tradition,” he explains.

“But I loved Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck . . . My favorite guitarist ever, Chet Atkins — that’s my idol . . . The great Ry Cooder . . . John Jorgensen, who lives in Ventura.

“I wanted to play electric guitar.

I developed a love for both electric and Spanish guitar at the same time.

I never made the switch — I was combining both schools all the time.”

He moved to Madrid when he was 20, working with a variety of Spanish artists, and traveled to Mexico, Argentina and the United States as well, contributing to television and movie soundtracks. In 2013, Garcia co-produced flamenco great Diego El Cigala’s Romance de la Luna Tucumana, picking up a Latin Grammy for his efforts. That cachet helped him obtain an artist visa and move to California, where he eventually settled in 2016.

“It’s the right place to be if you want to make it in the music industry,” he says.

Return to nature

Considering himself something of a “lone wolf,” Garcia decided to spend the pandemic living on his boat in Marina del Rey. But city life, even in a charming harbor community, wasn’t feeding his creative soul.

“After a year, I grabbed my guitars and went to the jungles,” he says.

Garcia headed to Costa Rica, first on the Pacific side, in Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula. There he enjoyed “rehearsing with the birds,” but he also found the area to be “an

Diego Garcia aka Twanguero, on his boat in Marina del Rey, March 2022. Photo by Chris Mortenson extension of California — surfing, lots of Americans. I needed something more local.”

In Limon, on the Caribbean side, he was inspired by the Afro-Costa Rican culture. Here is where the songs that would become his latest album, Carreteras Secundarias, Vol. 2/Backroads Vol. 2, began to take shape.

“I wanted to do music in nature, a forest,” Garcia says. “I did a record that is a tribute to the flora and fauna . . . Trees, forest, guitar — completing a circle between these elements.

I wanted to do a record to tell a story about the tree, the guitar maker and the guy who plays the guitar.”

“We were recording raw in the middle of the jungle. It was hard — it was hot, humid, surrounded by mosquitos,” he continues. “But it was going to a place where you didn’t

have any distractions . . . you didn’t have anything else to do but play guitar. And you get in shape, drink a lot of water, [reestablish a] relationship with nature.”

Now back in California, Garcia has made a home for himself in Santa Monica. He uses his boat in Marina del Rey as a studio space: “It’s where I go to make some noise,” he says with a laugh.

Garcia will play a few engagements in Southern California (March 31 in Los Angeles at the Hotel Cafe and April 9 in Ventura) before heading to Europe on tour. He’ll be joined by his trio — Moises Baqueiro on bass, Brian Griffin on drums and Danilo Torres on percussion — for the shows, but will also offer acoustic sets. It will be an exciting melding of musical traditions, with both old

and new material performed by a true master of the guitar in all its forms.

“It’s a trip,” Garcia explains. “We will start with past works, telling the story of why I came up with these new ideas. This music traveled, suffered and lived intensely.” ♦ The Ventura Music Festival presents Twanguero on Saturday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the Ventura College Performing Arts Center, 4700 Loma Vista Road, Ventura. Tickets start at $15. For ticket-holders presenting full vaccination proof before entry, masks are optional, not required.

Unvaccinated ticket-buyers must present a current negative test and plan to wear masks indoors. For tickets and more information, call 805-648-3146 or visit venturamusicfestival.org.

Night Moves

A

Den of Thieves

packed and spirited crowd came out to see Thievery Corporation’s first show in Ventura last week. This was only the second show ever at Ventura Music Hall – formerly bowling, dining and music spot Discovery – and already the city’s latest music venue seems primed to become one of the hottest spots in the area. Top-notch acoustics and a state-of-the-technology sound system brought every note of the electronica/world music collective to life. Band co-founder Rob Garza held court on the synth while Frank Orrall brought his percussive prowess and 36 —

Rob Myers switched seamlessly between guitar and sitar. Vocalists Natalia Clavier, Loulou Ghelickhani, Shana Halligan, Racquel Jones, Mr. Lif and Puma Ptah joined the rest of the “thieves” to belt out hits like “Lebanese Blonde,” “Amerimacka,” “Depth of My Soul” and “Culture of Fear.”

The audience responded with elation. Hands in the air, feet pounding, bodies rocking and swaying – this was a group that came to dance off two years of pandemic stress, and happily let Thievery Corporation steal their blues away.

2022 | WHEELHOUSE EDUCATION

GROWING CANNABIS AT HOME Written by Wheelhouse Staff Last week, we covered the legal regulations surrounding growing cannabis.

Today we are going to cover more information on growing your own marijuana at home.

30% OFF CLONES

CODE: CLONE30 EXPIRES APRIL 21ST, 2022

Clones vs. Seeds If you want to get started on growing cannabis at home, we highly recommend that you start with clones rather than seeds due to several benefits such as: Starting with clones guarantees that the gender of the plant is female.

Growing clones is way easier than starting with a seed and are far less delicate than seeds. Rooted clones are easier to nurture and have a lesser chance of dying than newly sprouted seedlings.

Having a clone jump starts you by several weeks, which helps to save time in the long-run.

Vegetative Growth Additionally, clones are highly recommended because they are usually considered to be in the vegetative growth stage where the growth of the plant soars once being transferred to a larger pot. Sativa plants are lanky and don't have as many leaves in comparison to indica plants, which are shorter and denser. During this stage, it is crucial that you are able to provide warm water, moist air, nitrogen and potassium-rich nutrients, and ample soil space to help the plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall. Cannabis plants should always be in welldrained soil. If you are using an indoor grow room, make sure that plants are kept on an 18-hour daylight cycle with a 6-hour night period.

Fun Fact Since light cycles control when a plant goes from the vegetative stage to flowering, they can be kept in vegetation forever. This is used to skip the germination stage and grow plans from clones.

Where to Buy Clones If you want to buy clones, we always recommend purchasing them from a licensed dispensary that offers high-quality clones, such as Wheelhouse. We currently carry a variety of hybrid and sativa clones and have knowledgeable budtenders who can help provide the best tips on how to nurture clones to their maximum potential at home. You can order our clones in-store or online by visiting wheelhouseph.com. Please note that due to state regulations we do not deliver clones.

About Wheelhouse Wheelhouse is an award-winning dispensary in Port Hueneme, CA. We are a minorityowned business that is focused on revitalizing and reinvesting in our community. Since our grand opening in 2019, we have given an estimated $170,000 to local charities in Ventura County, CA.

also trying the pomegranate lemonade. Surfers Point Cafe rotates through lavender, verbena and rose flavors as well, and I’m looking forward to sampling them all: The pomegranate lemonade was delicious and refreshing, with a delightful tartness. I’d take a well-crafted lemonade over a mimosa (which was perfectly lovely) any day.

We ordered two sandwiches to enjoy with our drinks, and these were definitely of the no-frills variety. My turkey sandwich featured fresh greens, tomato, light mayo and mustard. Not a thing wrong with it . . . but basically something I could have made for myself at home. My husband’s chicken salad sandwich was similarly simple, but tasty — Bailey can whip up some respectable chicken salad. I did wish we’d gotten a bit more macaroni and potato salad on the side; both were great and those small cups were gone too soon.

So maybe not the most remarkable of dining

ith its large patio, light-filled interior and location just a few blocks from the ocean, the Sandbox Coffeehouse in Ventura was a convenient pit stop for the surfers, bikers and walkers looking for caffeine, a quick bite and, perhaps, a beer on their way to or back from nearby Surfers Point. Plenty of bike racks and a cluster of surfboards added to the beachy-casual vibe.

Current owner Kathy Bailey clearly knows not to mess with tradition too much. But the newly opened Surfers Point Cafe feels fresh, welcoming and comfortable.

Yes, it still has the bar next to the window, with a row of stools and plenty of outlets for charging your electronics.

And the açai bowls — an absolute favorite from the Sandbox days — are still on the menu. But the coffee shop definitely seems to have gotten its groove back.

“Amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do,” a friend Chicken salad sandwich with light mayo, red onions, lettuce and tomato. commented recently.

My husband and I popped in post-farmers market one weekend to check it out for ourselves, and found it to be both a pleasant respite from the masses wandering up and down Main Street, and a great spot for a simple but satisfying lunch. The patio is breezy and open, with umbrellas for shade. Inside, there are a few larger tables, but most of the spots are built for two, with comfy armchairs surrounding small round tabletops. Good use of the space, but not overcrowded.

You’ll find all the usual coffee drinks — drip, cappuccinos, lattes, etc., plus milk and its various substitutes — and people do rave about the quality.

You can experiences, but it hit the spot.

We did not get coffee on this outing, but I was some tasty Anna’s Cider during happy hour (3-6 delighted with my golden turmeric latte, a caf- p.m. Monday-Thursday, 4-6 p.m. Friday-Sunday).

Whether you’re fueling up to take on C Street, feine-free blend of spices steamed up with milk (I ordered coconut). Lightly sweet, beautifully resting between errands or relaxing with a cold spiced, with an earthy hint of turmeric — it was a brew after a long day, Surfers Point Cafe has exactly what you need. The perfect spot to catch your wonderful mid-afternoon warm-me-up.

My husband loves a mimosa, but couldn’t resist next wave, or a second wind.

Thrive Causemetics helps ADVICE GODDESS uplift LA’s homeless

By Luke Netzley LA Downtown News Deputy Editor The last time Los Angeles’ homeless population was counted in 2020, 66,436 people were found to be living on the street.

While LA is home to one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world, it is also home to myriad selfless nonprofits whose mission is to empower the homeless community and help Angelenos off the street.

It’s this mission for a brighter future that CNN’s 2021 Hero of the Year Shirley Raines wants to achieve through her nonprofit Beauty 2 the Streetz.

After the loss of her son, Demetrius, Raines used the trauma to help others by volunteering on Skid Row. She found that many of the women were interested in her hair, makeup and nail color, and so she decided to start offering makeovers to the homeless.

“I found there’s dignity through beauty,” Raines explained. “The choices are ripped from this homeless community. These women have absolutely no choice in where they’re going to shower, whose clothing they’re going to put on for today or where they’re going to use the bathroom, but they can choose how long they want their eyelashes or they can choose their hair. Those little steps lead to huge empowerment.”

Raines faced criticism at the start of her journey with Beauty 2 the Streetz, with some brands questioning the homeless community’s need for beauty supplies.

“The response from the community has been amazing,” Raines said.

“It doesn’t matter where you are. It matters how you feel. I’ve had wom-

en get jobs, get off the street and go to interviews, whether they got the job or not. Quite frankly, if they did nothing else but go and sit in that tent where they came from, at least they went and sat in that tent feeling a lot better than they came out.”

Along with the support of Thrive Causemetics, Raines feeds, bathes and uplifts hundreds of homeless residents in Downtown LA. Thrive Causemetics CEO Karissa Bodnar wanted to donate the company’s products to LA’s homeless community.

Bodnar connected with Raines through social media in 2018, and Thrive Causemetics has since become one of the largest giving partners to Beauty 2 the Streetz.

“We create really game-changing formulas, but we wanted to get it directly into the hands of people who could really benefit from the confidence that beauty gives you,” Bodnar said.

At the launch of its 3-in-1 invisible priming sunscreen product at Redbird in Downtown on March 24, Thrive Causemetics gifted Raines and her team a $10,000 check to support Beauty 2 the Streetz’s work.

“It was organizations like Beauty 2 the Streetz and Shirley who saw the vision of what we were doing from the beginning,” Bodnar said.

“We are so filled up by the work that Shirley is doing, and we can’t do what we do without Shirley and her team.

ADVERTORIAL

— March 31, 2022

I’m a 20-something single woman. I just moved to a new city where I don’t know anybody. I’d like to meet people, but I work from home, and I’m pretty shy. The idea of having to earn people’s acceptance in a new environment (and possibly making a mess of it) leaves me tempted to stay home with Netflix and my cat.

—Afraid To be human is to err. And err. And err.

Personally, I have clogged somebody’s toilet, shattered an expensive, um, vase (“Nooo...not Nana’s ashes!”), and knocked a guy’s red wine the length of a white-on-white living room. In my defense, not all at the same party.

You can’t really control what happens to you — and if you’re as graceful as I am, you can’t really control what you do. What you can control is how you react: whether you “shy away” from public life or put on a brave face, hoping somebody in your circle gets arrested for bestiality and bumps you from the top of the social newsfeed.

Researchers have spent decades squabbling over how shyness should be defined, and they have yet to agree on a definition. However, shyness, to some extent, is a super-light shade of “social anxiety disorder”: a debilitating fear of being “negatively evaluated” by others — deemed disgusting, stupid, ugly, weird, or otherwise rejection-worthy — and then being publicly humiliated and socially deleted.

Social anxiety sufferers, desperate to avoid the eyeballs and judgment of others, live shrunken lives. Parties, meetings, and classes are often out of the question, as are situations requiring “public speaking” (like the coffee line, with the ever-looming danger of being asked “You next?”).

Though you’re merely shy — meaning you probably just dread and sometimes duck out of parties or talking with strangers — it’s important to reflect on whether your shyness is standing between you and the life you want — or...whether it is (or has been) a good thing.

That question — about the possible benefits of shyness — might sound a little nuts (though it’s anything but). Answering it requires exploring shyness from an evolutionary perspective: Why might shyness have evolved — that is, what might’ve been its function in an ancestral environment?

Now, maybe you’re grumbling, “Ancestral environment?! Who cares what some hairy humans were doing way back when?” Well, we need to care, because our modern skulls are home to an antique psychological operating system — adapted for the mating and survival problems of our distant human ancestors.

In ancestral times, getting booted from your

by amy alkon

hunter-gatherer band meant going it alone in a horribly harsh environment, millennia before DoorDash — or doors. If you didn’t starve to death, you might become the brunch entree for Mr. and Mrs. Tiger. Deeply unpleasant — and a big dead end for your genes.

That’s where our emotions — including feelbad ones like fear and anxiety — come in. Psychiatrist and evolutionary researcher Randy Nesse explains that our emotions are motivational tools, driving us to behave in ways that help us survive and pass on our genes. For example, he observes that “People develop a fear of heights after a fall” — killing the appeal of skydiving, rock climbing, and other sports with a concerning, shall we say, splat rate.

Along with our ancestral history, your personal history has shaped your behavior. At some point, it was probably “adaptive” — functional, protective — for you to duck and cover; for example, if, like me, you were a little kid bullied by bigger, older girls. (“Out of sight; out of beatdown.”)

But...does it make sense now to keep ducking and covering? It’s unlikely there are giant meangirls (or other childhood “monsters”) lying in wait for you. Plus, your adult “neighborhood” is vastly bigger than your childhood one: filled with new friends to make, should the ones you have give you the shove.

Changing a habit is seriously hard — but doable. It takes repeatedly behaving as the person you want to be. Scary — maybe even terrifying — but here’s a tip: You might feel shy, but you don’t have to act shy. As I wrote in “Unf*ckology”: “Your feelings are not the boss of you.” (Just because you have a feeling “doesn’t mean you have to go all ‘Yes, your lordship!’ in response.”)

We tend not to unpack our fears — ask ourselves, “Yo, Self? What’s the worst that could happen if I go say hi to Hot Strangerdude?” Unless you can truthfully answer, “I’ll be snatched up and pecked to death by a pterodactyl!” there’s really no good reason not to take the plunge.

Nobody’s liked by everybody, but let’s be real: Contrary to your worst fears, other guests at the cocktail party aren’t waiting for you to leave so they can compare notes on how stupid you look trying to eat a mini quiche. (c)2022, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

The sale will be made in an “as is” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

A.P.N.: 682-0-022-045 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, 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 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 18-20362-SPCA.

There are a lot of people to thank during Doctors’ Day. Many of whom aren’t doctors at all. Every doctor has someone who has helped them get to where they are today. People who never stop caring and always offer encouragement. So here’s to the family, friends, parents, children, coworkers, and furry companions who support our physicians.

And, to the doctors who give so much of themselves to care for our communities—thank you, thank you, thank you, for all that you do.

Happy Doctors’ Day!
