GROM HOW DOES JIU JITSU WORK?... ...it eliminates fear
because in learning Jiu Jitsu a student learns techniques that enable them to not only defend themselves but to overcome any opponent. In the Jiu Jitsu classes themselves, every student competes against much larger students and so the fear of “someone is bigger than me� becomes a non-issue to them. Bullies can see, through the opponents reaction to their intimidation, whether a child is a target or not. Because the child gains invaluable knowledge of how to defend themselves, that look of intimidation is replaced with one of self confidence. 831.661.0184 www.tigerbjj.com 7960-D Soquel Drive Aptos

LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
THE RULES:
(From plasticfreejuly.org) H Attempt to refuse single-use plastic during the month of July. H Remember, it’s not going to be easy. It is a challenge, not a competition, so don’t worry about being perfect. H Collect any unavoidable single-use plastic you buy. Share it with plasticfreejuly.org at the end of the challenge. H It’s up to you how long you participate. You might decide to go plastic-free for a day, a week, a month, or longer. However long you choose, you will still make a difference.

WORD ON THE STREET
Q:
How do you feel about drones?
Daniel Kelley, software architect: “Drones are a very interesting technology. It’s something that has become more accessible, but, with that accessibility, it has sort of explored the wider ranges of abuse of that technology.”
Katie Kridel, a girl who loves California: “I think they could be used for lots of awesome purposes, but it’s a little strange to think that they could be being used and you wouldn’t know [it]; [that] you could be recorded and not be aware of it. That’s a little freaky.”
Ben Gonzales, painter: “It’ll be interesting to see where they end up—for fun and recreational use, or if there is an actual commercial use, like using them to deliver packages. I don’t see that happening. I see people using them more for fun.”
Martha Waterhouse, teacher: “Drones can be good and bad. One of the reasons why I think they could be bad is if they interfere with airspace and if they are invasive to people. We actually own a drone—we bought it for our son when he was 12 and he’s had a lot of fun with it. So I like it for that reason.”
Cari Geldreich, mechanical engineer: “With any technology there’s good and bad. I think there is a lot of good that can be done with drones—say, if someone gets lost in the woods … you can find that person. I have friends that use drones to take amazing pictures. I don’t like the idea of drones used in warfare—I don’t approve of warfare at all.”
Gabe Fuent, student: “I think drones are an easy way for the military to kill who they want to kill ... without any effort at all.”
d BY JEANINE OLSEN
Dustin Howell, nurse: “Drones are awesome. The footage is awesome. [But] do I want to see some idiot flying his drone and lose it in the ocean? Yes!”
Steven Carpenter, herpetologist: “They’re very science fiction. It’s a useful tool for observing places that we can’t readily walk and access and view. I [also] feel like privacy is getting invaded. I don’t know who is looking at whom. It’s kind of sketchy. I think they’re kind of freaky, but they are very interesting and a great scientific tool if used ethically.”

REMEMBER
WHEN … A MAN NAMED LONDON NELSON LED TO SANTA CRUZ’S MOST EGREGIOUS SPELLING MISTAKE? By MELISSA DUGE SPIERS
L
ocal legend London Nelson, a freed African American slave, famously gave his entire estate to Santa Cruz City Schools when he died in 1860, even though he himself had never been to school and black students in Santa Cruz at the time were denied attendance. The generous act put him down in Santa Cruz history—but in the process he suffered a post-mortem name change so pervasive that it became institutionalized. He’s been Louden Nelson ever since, including as the namesake of the Louden Nelson Community Center. Born in 1800 on a cotton plantation in North Carolina, Nelson was given the surname of the plantation owner, William
Nelson, and the first name of an English city: London. His brother was likewise christened as Marlborough. When the plantation owner’s son inherited the estate, he moved it to Tennessee before striking out for the California gold rush with London and Marlborough. The men did well enough in gold mining for Nelson to buy his freedom and, in 1856, he moved to Santa Cruz, which already had a reputation for being a liberal county and a tolerant community for freedmen. Nelson used his gold earnings to buy a bit of land near the original Mission Hill school and settled in to farm life. Unfortunately, he’d been
in failing health even before his move and lived only four years in Santa Cruz before succumbing to tuberculosis in 1860. His estate was valued at just under $400 and was deeded to the city’s school children, who still make pilgrimages to his gravesite in Evergreen Cemetery today to honor the gift. That gravesite, however, is a focal point in the mystery of Nelson’s name change. “It’s believed that it was the mistake of the grave marker carver,” says Marla Novo, collections curator at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. Indeed, the simple white marble marker clearly designates the final resting place of “Louden Nelson.”

But Novo points to further documentation by local writer Geoffrey Dunn and the late historian Phil Reader, who meticulously combed probate records, newspaper articles, church archives, and slave records in several states to uncover a bewildering Pandora’s box of mistaken and misleading names unrelated to (and sometimes predating) the tombstone error. Nelson was at various times and places referred to in print as everything from Linden, Louden, Ludlow, and London to “Old Man Nelson” and further insulting and unprintable racist slurs. While “Louden” was not the first or only bastardization of Nelson’s Christian name, it became, quite literally, carved in

stone and has been the name of record ever since. But why has it been allowed to remain unchallenged? While little has been done to change landmarks like the community center name or the gravestone, local organizations have been doing what they can to correct the misnomer in everything from Wikipedia to library citations to placards and markers in the museum and cemetery. “I agree we should always call him London,” says Novo, emphatically. “We’re all about telling the real story, not hooey history. Whenever we talk about him we use his correct name, and we tell the story in the [museum’s] history gallery and in anything we publish.” Likewise, the Santa Cruz Public Library cites
London Nelson’s correct name (along with the incorrect, but better known, one) in its history pieces, as does local tourist app Mobile Ranger, localwiki.org, and other informational sites. For now, Nelson’s legacy lives on in a multi-monikered mess, however, which oddly ends up being perhaps the best gift he could have given the children of Santa Cruz: a lesson in the power of education. The man who was never allowed the opportunity to learn to read and write was only able to sign his will and testament with an “X,” which left history to interpret his name as it would. But he gave his entire estate to help ensure such would never happen again to future generations in his beloved adopted town.

ocated directly west of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf and Beach Boardwalk, Cowell Beach is notorious for having had the dirtiest water in California. Beachgoers can rest assured, though, that it is safer to test Cowell’s waters this year thanks to a project spearheaded by Save the Waves, a Davenport-based nonprofit that protects marine environments around the world. “We’ve seen a precipitous drop in bacteria concentrations over the past year at Cowell’s,” says Nik StrongCvetich, executive director of Save the Waves. “Bacteria levels are about 50

percent lower than last year—and that’s not a number you see very often in water quality.” Water samples taken along the California coast are collected and analyzed by Heal the Bay, an organization operating out of Santa Monica. Each spring, Heal the Bay releases its annual Beach Report Card, which contains the “Beach Bummers” list highlighting the worst offenders of water quality based on the number of days a beach exceeds the state’s standard for bacteria content. Prior to this year, Cowell Beach had ranked first or second on that list for seven straight years.
Cowell’s landed on the Beach Bummers list again this year, but slipped down to No. 3. “We hope that continued efforts at the site will lower Cowell’s ranking in coming years,” says Leslie Griffin, a water quality scientist for Heal the Bay. “This is a big improvement for a beach that has been at the top for so many years.” In 2014, the Santa Cruz City Council created the Cowell Beach Water Quality Working Group, facilitated by Save the Waves. Members from Surfrider Foundation, Sierra Club, and the city and county of Santa Cruz all participated, with the goal of improving the beach’s problematic water quality.

CAUSES
The cause of the high bacteria levels remained unknown for years, but due to recent water-testing experiments done by the working group, ocean scientists determined that the dirty water at Cowell’s is due in large part to fecal matter released by birds nesting underneath the wharf. High bacteria days at Cowell’s spike in summertime—the opposite of what happens at most California water test sites, where bacteria levels are higher during the winter due to storms flushing runoff into the ocean. At Cowell’s, the higher bacteria levels during summertime can be explained by the influx of tourists, who attract birds by providing extra food sources, says Griffin. Once they determined the primary source of the pollution, the working
group installed steel mesh and spikes underneath the wharf to prevent birds from nesting in areas where they were once highly concentrated. The project was completed in July 2016. The results have been encouraging. Strong-Cvetich says the percentage of water samples that exceeded the state standard for bacteria content went from 59 percent before the netting was installed to 22 percent for the remainder of the summer season. “Cowell’s is hugely important to our community,” Strong-Cvetich says. “It’s really where people come together. Out in the lineup, you see kids, older folks, people learning to surf for the first time, and people who rip on longboards, all mixed together. Now they can have the peace of mind that
they’re not compromising their health going out there.” Strong-Cvetich adds that the success at Cowell’s is important to Save the Waves’ work around the world. Santa Cruz is one of nine World Surfing Reserves designated by Save the Waves. The reserve program protects outstanding waves around the world in partnership with local communities. Others include Guarda Do Embaú, Brazil, named a reserve in January 2017, the Gold Coast of Australia, and Punta de Lobos in Chile. “People sometimes ask why we’re trying to solve their problems for them, and they ask what we’ve done in our own backyard,” he says. “The success at Cowell’s really verifies our approach.” Learn more at savethewaves.org.

rowing up on Pleasure Point in the early ’90s, I was a member of a dense pack of surf rats who, when we weren’t on land terrorizing the public or stuffing our faces with candy, would surf all day. Throughout my twenties, it felt as if there was a huge generation gap, due in large part to land snatching for vacation rentals and gentrification in the neighborhood. Where were all the kids building forts in the lagoon and skateboarding where they shouldn’t be? Fortunately, a healthy new crop of grommets began sprouting up a few years ago. Among them was Korey Svardal, now 16. Svardal and his youthful crew became a welcome addition to a lineup of disillusioned and grumpy grown men. Amped, ambitious and respectful, Svardal’s attitude is infectious. As he grew, his power and sound technical approach began to set him apart from his peers. Last year, the goofyfooter used these skills to win both the 2015/2016 Explorer and Open Juniors (15-17) division titles of the NSSA Northwest Conference. VonZipper and Xcel Wetsuits rep Dane Nabal saw potential in Svardal and began to sponsor him. “Korey stood out

We called him little Occy because his style and approach was so similar [to surfer Mark Occhilupo’s].” As of late, Svardal has admittedly been surfing less. He moved from the Point to Aptos and has been spending more time on his bike than on his board. Being a talented young surfer with a calendar full of contests, training and practice drills can be overwhelming. Trying new things and flirting with different peer groups is normal in high school. But surfing is in his blood, so we expect we’ll continue seeing him out in the lineup.

It was one of the first swells of winter and I had only surfed the lefts once or twice. A double up came through and I started scratching for it, but just as I stood up the thing jacked up and threw me straight over the falls. I was doing flips then hit the reef. It was definitely an experience. Worst grom beating: I’ve never really gotten super bad beatings from older surfers, just dunkings and flushings—nothin’ like the stories I’ve heard about what it was like to be a grom years ago.
Your ideal wave: It would be a perfect roping left barrel on the outside and then it turns into a perfect high-performance wave to shred on, and finishes with an air section. Is it hard being a goofyfooter in Santa Cruz? I like being a goofyfooter in the land of rights. I love surfing on my backhand, so I’m fine with going right. However, I also try to catch every left I can, if I can find one. Barrels or airs? Barrels. The feeling of looking at the end of the barrel and then flying out is like no other. Who do you look up to in Santa Cruz? I look up to a lot of people in the area—really anyone who shreds or has a positive attitude. But the two big ones are Nat [Young], because he has an insane backhand, and Shawn Dollar, because he rips, charges, and has a super-positive attitude.

or the committed photographer, attaining an elevated perspective can be the key to producing a jaw-dropping image—whether it’s an expansive landscape, vibrant sunset, or surfers riding a powerful swell, a little altitude is a major game-changer. Getting those spectator shots is more feasible than ever thanks to aerial drone photography. The increasingly popular and accessible tool has allowed local professional photographers such as David Levy to expand their frames and artistic scope in exciting ways. “It’s always been about trying to get a higher vantage point, whether that was climbing a hill, or driving up a mountain, or any way to get a better look over the scene,” Levy says. “[Here in Santa Cruz] I was limited by landscape features or buildings surrounding me, and the camera was stuck with me—grounded.” A Santa Cruz native, Levy specializes in aerial SANTA CRUZ WAVES | 5 5

cinematography, shooting music videos, corporate commercials, and surf events, including the annual Santa Cruz Waves Sandbar Shootout Surf Contest. His passion for taking pictures blossomed when he took a nature photography course while attending Soquel High School, where he learned about famous photographers such as Ansel Adams and various professional photo techniques. As a teenage skateboarder, Levy would borrow his dad’s video camera to create skate videos around town, bridging his fascination with motion. He discovered drone videography in 2013 and has since fully immersed himself in the craft. “I’ve always been fascinated by flight, and doesn’t everyone wish they could fly?” he says. He started with the DJI Phantom II Vision Quadcopter, but the technology has developed significantly and rapidly since then. Today, Levy says DJI’s Phantom series dominates the drone market and now includes the DJI Phantom 4 Pro—his tool of choice—which features major improvements in camera-capturing capabilities, stability and overall flight control. “The camera is mounted on a threeaxis gimbal for stabilization and video footage is extremely smooth,” he says. It is also equipped with an advanced obstacle avoidance system and flight tracking, and has a transmission range of 4.3 miles. With all of these technological advancements over just a few years, Levy says it is much easier to be confident in the technology working properly, which allows him to focus on the creative and practical side of aerial imagery. But with great technology comes responsibility. Glen McDowell is a Salinas-based drone pilot, specializing in

aerial marketing and advertising videography and photography. He’s flown drones for two years—also the DJI Phantom 4 Pro—and says that he loves anything with a camera on it. One of the reasons he admires the new DJI drone is how portable it is: it weighs less than three pounds and fits in a backpack. McDowell says that anyone interested in using drones should start by doing some homework. All non-hobbyist pilots—professional drone pilots who are compensated for work, like McDowell—are required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 107 test, which costs $150. It provides the first national, uniform regulations for commercial operation of unmanned aircraft systems under 55 pounds. A few key rules to consider before launching a new drone for both recreational and business uses include registering and labeling the device with the FAA, which can be done online and takes less than 10 minutes, says McDowell. This applies to all drones weighing between 0.55 and 55 pounds. Registration costs just $5 and is valid for three years. Flying a drone without taking these steps can result in civil or criminal penalties, according to the FAA. Other important rules include refraining from flying more than 400 feet in the air, and not going within 5 miles of an airport, though under some circumstances it makes sense to petition for exceptions. In Salinas, for example, being limited by airport proximity covers almost the entire city, explains McDowell, who has been granted airspace waivers that allow him to fly within 1 mile of local airports. Not everyone feels so positive about an increasing number of drones buzzing through the sky— especially while surfing. “When you’re out in nature, hearing the sounds of birds and the ocean

is very relaxing, and then when someone shows up with a drone, it introduces a distinctly unnatural sound,” says Santa Cruz local Tizoc Velasco, who surfs and works as an outdoor educator. “Part of surfing is sitting and reflecting—it’s a form of meditation. So at times, it’s like if someone brought a drone to a yoga class … plus the fact that you know you’re being recorded is also a little bit weird and creepy.” McDowell says it’s important for drone owners to use common sense when it comes to respecting other people’s privacy. “You want to avoid situations in which people might think you’re spying on them, or anything that might make someone feel violated,” he says. “I think a lot of people are concerned about privacy and we want to be respectful of that. You could fly over someone’s backyard pretty easily,” McDowell goes on. “I would say the majority of commercial pilots don’t want to do that—we’re not in it for that kind of spying stuff. We can’t see your pot farm or what color your underwear is. It’s a wide-angle lens and it’s far away.” McDowell advises people who want to capture images around their neighborhood to ask for permission to shoot if the airspace is near someone else’s property. “Don’t fly right over people, give them some space,” he says. “We don’t want to give any of this a bad reputation. There’s a lot of common sense that has to go with all of it. … You definitely don’t want to weed whack someone’s face.” As drone flight has changed the potential for photography and videography, it has also lent itself to various other applications in exciting and surprising ways. Online videos have featured skim boarders and snowboarders being towed by powerful unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and multi-billiondollar companies like FedEx, UPS and Amazon are conducting safety SANTA CRUZ WAVES | 6 1

research on the potential of dronedelivery systems. In March of this year, fire departments in New York City and Toledo, Ohio utilized drones to assess fires, and lifeguard agencies are using UAS to identify dangerous conditions, people in need of rescue, and even sharks entering swim zones. In Africa, a new initiative with support from the World Wildlife Fund and a $5 million grant from Google is under way to use drones to record elephant poachers, though no arrests had been made as of this writing. An April research report indicated that of the drone industry’s total $127 billion market value, more than $45 billion comes from the commercial real estate, construction, and infrastructure sectors, and the overall industry is projected to soar over the next few years. Last year, the FAA released a report predicting that drone sales will grow from $2.5 million in 2016 to $7 million in 2020. In that same time frame, they also predicted that hobbyist sales will increase from $1.9 million to $4.3 million. Levy is expanding into more technical uses of drone imagery for industries such as construction, surveying, and inspections that require 2D and 3D mapping and modeling. His company, Levy Media Works, was recently hired by the City of Santa Cruz to help document changes in the San Lorenzo River after the winter storms brought down large quantities of silt, logs and debris into the riverbed. However, Levy says the artistic side of drone use is closer to his heart. “I love the pursuit of chasing light for both sunrise and sunset landscape photography,” Levy says. “I truly enjoy being able to share the unique perspective from a drone—we’re seeing things from vantage points rarely seen before this technology was available.” SANTA CRUZ WAVES | 6 3

DEATH DRONES Eliminating the invasive Lionfish By JOEL HERSCH
W
hile the majority of chatter about drones pertains to the work they do in the sky, a whole new sector of unmanned remote vehicles is unfurling beneath the ocean’s surface. One of the most interesting ways underwater drone technology is being applied? Electrocuting invasive species to death—specifically the lionfish.
Lionfish, which have venomous spines on their bodies, are native to Indo-Pacific water. However, during the 1980s fish hobbyists introduced the species to the Atlantic Ocean off of Florida’s coast. Other fish that are crucial to the ecological equilibrium
of the coral reefs were unaccustomed to the lionfish as a predator, allowing the lionfish to devour massive numbers of smaller fish. It began decimating populations of other sea life, posing a major problem for the health of ocean diversity and reefs. In a matter of weeks, the lionfish can kill off juvenile fish populations on a reef by 90 percent, according to a 2016 article in The Washington Post. The nonprofit Robots in Service of the Environment (RISE) is now working to combat the invasive fish. RISE utilizes a remote-operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with two metal probes that extend outward
and can deliver a powerful electric current between its prongs. The ROV floats right up to the lionfish, which surprisingly fails to swim away (it has no natural predators and reportedly fears nothing), and then electrocutes it when the metal components are in position. The drone is equipped with a bucket and a tube that suctions the bodies in so as not to litter the ocean with the poisonous corpses. According to The Washington Post, RISE hopes to begin implementing the lionfish-killing drones this summer. And despite their aggressive mission, the organization has not received major kickback from animal rights groups. SANTA CRUZ WAVES | 6 5

TAYLOR -MADE p i h Kins HOW THE STOKE OF YOUTH HAS REINVIGORATED THE TAYLOR FAMILY By NEAL KEARNEY
I
t’s early on a Saturday morning and 10-year-old Jackson Taylor is waxing up his new 4-foot4-inch mini-fish shaped by his grandfather, Pat. Jackson’s dad, Seth, is brewing a cup of coffee, and they are both chomping at the bit to get in the water. This is their ritual and their bonding time: scouring the county for grom-friendly sandbars or point breaks to shred together. Seth, a general contractor and one of Santa Cruz’s best goofyfooters, loves sharing surfing with his son—as any surfer knows, the only thing better than the stoke that surfing gives you is if you can share it with your loved ones. For Pat, designing boards for these two has brought things fullcircle, inspiring him to revamp his business and help his up-and-coming
grandson dial in his equipment. Pat, 62, was born in Seattle and moved to Southern California at age 6. He caught his first waves at age 8 in the Palos Verdes Cove, and started shaping—primitively—as a teen. “I shaped my first board at age 15 in my dad’s garage with a surform [shaping instrument that shaves foam] and little else—I was so clueless,” he says. He moved north after high school, and began studying at Cabrillo College. He found Pleasure Point, which was still considered a “surf ghetto” at the time. “It was the perfect base with great waves out front and centrally located between Moss Landing to the south and Waddell Creek to the north,” he says. During this period, Pat hooked up with Steve Coletta, one of Santa
Cruz’s greatest shapers, and began sporadically glassing the custom boards that Coletta built for him. Soon thereafter, Corey Smith, the owner of Santa Cruz Surf Shop, needed help making boards. Pat stepped up and from 1980 to 1990, Taylor/Santa Cruz Surf Shop was the go-to for high-performance short boards, boasting a stacked team including Josh Mulcoy, Shawn Barron, Anthony Ruffo, and Richard Schmidt. “This created instant demand locally, especially with the hard-core locals,” Pat points out. Pat and his wife, Janet, had Seth at a young age and did their best to provide for their growing boy. He was a water bug like his old man, and besides Pat being regular foot and Seth being goofy, it was clear that

He didn’t go on to win national championships or score magazine covers, but if you ask anyone who
knows the area’s talent well, odds are that Seth’s name will come up as one of the best. As he settled into middle age, Pat began shaping less and less. It’s hard to compete—even on a local scale—in today's world of foreignmade “pop-outs” and glorified big-name brands like …Lost Surfboards and Channel Islands. But when Seth was gifted his own baby boy 10 years ago, things changed. When Jackson was barely tall
enough to go on most of the rides at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, he was already out in the water ripping on his grandfather’s custom-made surfboards. “Shaping boards for Jackson has been a huge shot in the arm for me,” says Pat. “These boards are so small”—4-foot-2-inches on his last fish—“and really hard to hand shape, as I have to reconfigure the blank rocker, thickness, foil, etc. There’s not much out there that I haven’t

Every weekend, on boards shaped by their own bloodline, Seth and Jackson team up to find fun waves with their friends. “We usually plan our day out around where the surf is going to be the most fun, considering tides, swell direction, and wave size,” Seth says. “We surf a couple times and have a few skate sessions in between.” The towheaded 10 year old may not yet completely comprehend the significance of his role in motivating his dad and grandpa—but he sure is stoked. “My dad helps me out in the water and shows me where to sit to get the best waves,” Jackson says. “And it feels good to be riding surfboards that

t takes a lot to shock the person who gave the TED talk on “The Joy of Surfing in Ice-Cold Water.” That challenge (er, addiction) to meet fierce elements in risky places drove Chris Burkard to the earth’s unforgiving edge. And while it’s typical for nature to play a starring role in much of the photographer’s work, his latest film showcases surf feats against stunning extremes of darkness and light, chaos and calm. Under an Arctic Sky documents a two-week no-man’s-land expedition to search and surf the shores of Iceland for a session beneath the aurora borealis. With surfers Sam Hammer, Timmy Reyes, Justin Quintal, and Heidar Logi in the mix, Burkard and co. are lashed by neoprene-slicing cold temps and 160-mph winds nourished by a beastly blessing and curse to the cause: Iceland’s biggest storm in 25 years. Was it worth it? At 31, the well-worn explorer has called the ensuing grace on water and in sky “one of the most insane things” he’s ever seen.

At the heart of the film, and the director himself, is an intention to get people to know the unknown—in themselves and in the environment.

You’ve said, “Living on the edge is where you learn most about yourself.” What did you learn about yourself by going to the edge of the earth? Honestly, this trip pushed me physically, mentally and financially more than any other trip I’ve ever been on. The process of getting there and actually finding waves is so stressful to start, but as the trip continued to unfold, my team and I worked so hard to capture everything. When something that special is happening, it puts you at the end of your wits because you want to do the best job you can to get the shot. Walking away from the trip, I’m reminded that I need to just let the moment happen and remain confident in my ability to capture what’s in front of me.

time trying to document something. It was a long week, but to see waves roll into the secluded bay just south of the Arctic Circle, and my good friend Justin Quintal surfing it all while under the northern lights—I couldn’t help but holler as I clicked the shutter. A lot of cold sleepless nights went into making that singular session come to be, but
like most things, a little suffering is what makes them worthwhile. How was shooting at night under the aurora borealis? It was difficult, to say the least. I knew the gear we brought was pretty essential; I shot everything on the

a7SII, which was the only camera for the job. The reality was we were shooting something that was on the fringe of what’s possible to capture in a single still image. Shooting moving surfers with minimal light is incredibly difficult and we needed a camera that had the ISO capabilities to freeze their action but still be sensitive enough to capture the northern lights. Looking back at just how many things had to come together to make that session a reality is mind-boggling. The tide. The swell. The wind. The weather. The northern lights. And the biggest factor: the moon. We ended up staying longer to wait for the full moon. … Having moonlight to help illuminate the surfers and the waves turned out to be the biggest factor in documenting it.

What was the biggest fear you faced during the trip? Weather. Easily. It was such a huge unknown and to get to a lot of these waves you might spend 10 hours driving across the country when the weather is good. We ended up getting stuck in the worst storm to hit Iceland
in 25 years. … There were hundreds of telephone poles that were broken by gale-force winds in the region where we were alone. What limit would you like to push next?

A Tribe on a Quest The Amah Mutsun return spirituality and native restoration to Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument By LINDA KOFFMAN
S
ometimes the path to go deep within takes you outside—the Native Americans who lived in these parts knew it thousands of years ago, and their descendants are reminding us of it now as Cotoni-Coast Dairies assumes its role as a national monument. Imagine pressing your feet in the exact spot where Cotoni Indian footprints once dressed the naked earth. You look out and breathe in the same dramatic vista witnessed by those who supported the North Coast land long
before colonization; no hint of Highway 1, no telephone pole, no building to intrude on the untarnished view. Such is the offering of CotoniCoast Dairies, which stretches from the shores of Davenport up into Bonny Doon. It’s like a 5,800-acre time capsule whose natural brilliance has yet to be muted by modernity, and, after nearly a century behind closed doors, its protection and impending public unveiling under the decree of former President Barack Obama coincides with its return to Native American hands.
And those prayerful hands plan to reconnect the sublime scene with the unseen. “The most important thing we look to restore to the Cotoni-Coast land is the spirituality and the sacred,” says Valentin Lopez, chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, whose Cotoni ancestors originally occupied the area, which includes six watersheds. While the tribal band’s traditional territory spans from San Benito to San Mateo counties, most of its 800 members currently live in the Central

Valley because, Lopez explains, they can’t afford to live in those places of origin. That economic divide adds weight to the Amah Mutsun presence in the oversight of this coastal plot. He sees the reunion as answering a higher calling. “Whenever we look at the land, we’re in awe to see all that Creator made and allowed us the privilege of having [this] to care for,” he adds. “Creator had a lot of confidence in our ancestors and in our people today so that we can take care of those lands the way they are meant to be cared for, and I recognize they’re a gift.” Public access to the new piece of the California Coastal National Monument network is still a year or more away, as

Cotoni people (pronounced “Cho-toni”) spoke the Awaswas language and stewarded what is now Cotoni-Coast Dairies for thousands of years.
Today: Cotoni traditional territory known as Coast Dairies is associated with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, was renamed Cotoni-Coast Dairies during national monument campaign, and then was designated part of California Coastal National Monument by President Obama. A Memorandum of Understanding gives Amah Mutsun access to the land to bring Native American stewardship and spiritual practices back.
Tomorrow: Educational programs
and classes led by Amah Mutsun tribal members are being planned for Cotoni-Coast Dairies’ opening to teach visitors about Cotoni people, the importance of Native American ceremony and prayer, native plant identification and purposes, and native wildlife. Archaeological and ethnobiological research at the national monument hope to reveal more about the Cotoni history.

conservation efforts and infrastructure to accommodate visitors are being planned. Meantime, tribal members have access for spiritual practice, research, education, and restoration of the land through the Memorandum of Understanding agreement with the Bureau of Land Management. The Cotoni had specific prayers seeking guidance on how to provide for all living things, and now ceremonies to call animals to the land and encourage balance to the plants and the four seasons are being returned to the site. “Most important were our ceremonies for the bear, the elk, the deer, the fish, and the birds,” Lopez says. There is little documentation of the Cotoni people, so research done at
It’s like a 5,800-acre time capsule whose natural brilliance has yet to be muted by modernity. Cotoni-Coast Dairies may be the missing link to give insight into that past stewardship and struggle during the Spanish colonization that led to the decimation of the indigenous population. It’s all in poignant timing as climate change deniers have climbed the political ranks and Native Americans
have helped buoy environmental activism across the country. “When we look at Standing Rock, with the conquering of Mother Earth, the excavating of important spiritual resources for money, the violation of Native American culture and people, we worry tremendously because that is

>NATIVE AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES
Four registered ancestral Native American archaeological sites have already been identified on Cotoni-Coast Dairies, with only 2 percent of the land officially surveyed thus far. One site includes native and colonial period artifacts and may give insight into how the Cotoni lived with the effects of Spanish colonization during the 1800s.

the same attitude that the people who first came to California looking to conquer Mother Earth and the indigenous people here had—and that historic trauma continues to this day around the world,” Lopez says. “That’s why we’re so thankful to the people of Santa Cruz for understanding that the destruction of Amah Mutsun people must stop. We feel the people of our community have an appreciation for the environment and our history.” To the Amah Mutsun, “cultural resources” aren’t strictly manmade artifacts and burial sites, but also the landscape itself. Cotoni-Coast Dairies waterways are seen as cultural resources for wildlife, and marine terraces overlooking the redwood forest, the coastal prairie, and the ocean are considered sacred sites. Reinvigorating native plants that sustain the property’s biodiversity and have medicinal or crafting purposes is a primary objective.

It’s all in poignant timing as climate change deniers have climbed the political ranks and Native Americans have helped buoy environmental activism across the country.
While nurturing Cotoni-Coast Dairies and honoring local Native American history is viewed by Lopez as a privilege inherited by his tribal band, he recognizes it’s now a responsibility it must share. “There are not enough Amah Mutsun to save the native land, so we really need people to work with our tribe,” he says. Lopez hopes locals will learn about and support the Amah Mutsun stewardship, eventually assist with native plant restoration, and partake in educational opportunities offered by the nine tribal members assigned to the site when the monument opens. “We want the public to know the Cotoni people were of the past but also of the present, and they will always be here,” he says. “We are thankful to our ancestors for taking care of the land for 900 generations, and now it’s time for our tribe to return to reclaim and fulfill our obligation to Creator.”
>FLIGHT AND FIGHT
The campaign to make Cotoni-Coast Dairies a national monument was spearheaded by Sempervirens Fund and spanned three years, but the outcome became uncertain with the 2016 presidential election results. With time running out, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), representative of the 18th District, in which Cotoni-Coast Dairies lies, took a notable flight to command the ear of the commander-in-chief. “It wasn’t a done deal,” recalls Fred Keeley, co-chair of the Sempervirens Fund National Monument Task Force, “then Anna Eshoo personally hitched a ride on Air Force One within the month preceding Obama’s decision and bulldogged him on this deal. It was amazing! Dianne Feinstein and Anna Eshoo were all over this campaign and they were not going to let him leave office without this.”

SPORTS ACHIEVEMENT
CJ NELSON Santa Cruz longboarder nabs two titles in one weekend By NEIL PEARLBERG
During the first weekend in May, the Vans Joel Tudor Duct Tape Invitational kicked off the summer with a celebration of longboarding hosted in partnership with the cherished Mexi Log Fest in Saladita, Mexico. The world’s top loggers were invited to demonstrate their originality and style on the warm turquoise waters. Over the four-day celebration, Santa Cruz’s own CJ Nelson executed the most remarkable logging performance in recent memory and, on the final day, took home first place titles in both events.
It was during the free-surfing sessions before the contests that Nelson realized the conditions favored his graceful-yet-powerful style of surfing. He had an inkling that his moment of glory might be upon him during the qualifying heats and subsequent finals, when he hung his heels and pirouetted to grip his toes over the nose, carving his log through the 6-foot left break and gliding all the way to the beach. At that moment, an announcement blared from the loudspeaker declaring Nelson the winner of one of longboarding’s most prestigious events, the Duct Tape Invitational. Victory brought tears
to his eyes as he was surrounded and applauded by the throngs of onlookers. Still completely overwhelmed, Nelson realized he needed to gather himself in order to return to the lineup, having qualified to compete in the final of the Mexi Log Fest. And though he was still reveling in the moment with his fellow competitors, two perfect waves funneled themselves to him, and he once again showed the judges his uncanny ability to stay on the nose of his board for an extraordinary amount of time. Soon after, Nelson stood tall on the podium for the second time that day.

HOW THE MUSIC FESTIVAL WORLD HAS INSPIRED LOCAL PAINTERS TO BREAK FREE FROM MAINSTREAM CONVENTIONS By JOEL HERSCH
W
ithin the beautifully expansive, high-octane, and often chaotic world of music festivals, the work of painters brings a visual component to the scene that illuminates the whole experience. But, perhaps more importantly, the live art provides a mellow space where attendees can slow their minds, contemplate, and take a respite. “Festivals can be extremely stimulating, with conflicting sounds, loud music, and extreme personalities bouncing to and fro,” says muralist and Santa Cruz native Taylor Reinhold. “Tuning into an artist’s work can be very grounding for a person in need of a mental cool-down.” Music festivals have became an increasingly popular attraction over the past decade, drawing many tens of thousands of people to venues up and down California every year, and the role of visual artists has become central to that circuit. Painters practice their craft often alongside DJs, generating a visual aspect to the sounds coming from massive speaker systems. Artists will sometimes collaborate with other painters, intertwining their styles, or even invite festivalgoers to wield paintbrushes themselves and join in. After sundown, barely audible over the booming music, generators hum, powering bright lights that shine down on the art that is flowing across canvases and towering wood walls.

“TUNING INTO AN ARTIST’S WORK CAN BE VERY GROUNDING FOR A PERSON IN NEED OF A MENTAL COOL-DOWN.” —TAYLOR REINHOLD
Reinhold, who in recent years has been hired to paint a healthy portion of the walls across Santa Cruz County, hails from a skate-inspired niche of “rattle can” urban artists, accustomed to clandestinely tagging public spaces late at night, knowing it would likely be covered up by the following day. Coming from a graffiti background, he says that there was a strong sense of not feeling accepted within more mainstream art communities, whereas the festival world was like one big green light, regardless of one’s style. “Festivals are all about freeform and acceptance,” Reinhold says. “When you go into a festival setting, it’s almost like you’re going into an alternate reality—a whole other world where the rules aren’t the same,
9 4 | SANTA CRUZ WAVES
the people aren’t the same, the dress isn’t the same. So it’s all about going into it with an opened mind, which makes it a great space to experience art of all mediums.” Reinhold has been painting at festivals for seven years, and attends between three and six each season. Most of his income is generated through mural contracts, but he also sells individual paintings and prints. Though many festivals don’t pay artists, he says they are valuable as a way to create artistic community. Telopa Treloky, who goes by his artist moniker Telopa, is a traditional oil painter who once sought asylum from what he viewed as a contrived view of art in expensive, high-class galleries, where status defines the rules. “I felt unappreciated in the typical gallery world,” Telopa says. “I didn’t want to deal with the … competitiveness. So when I got invited to my first festival”— Lightning in a Bottle, a Central Coast festival held each spring—“and there were, like, 40 painters out there, and they all came from different styles …” At this memory, Telopa trails off and settles back in his chair with a look of amazement in his eyes. Traditional oil painting is not very common at music festivals, he says, and neither is Telopa’s subject matter—a reoccurring theme features a mysterious woman peering out from the canvas in a Mona Lisa-esque fashion. (Some speculate

that the woman is Telopa’s adult daughter, who he says has brought him considerable guidance in his journey as an artist.) A common thread among festival artists is a love for music, and Telopa says many painters, himself included, are very selective over which musical acts they work near. “I want to be by a stage where the music is going to inspire me—that’s the first reason I’m going,” he says. “I’m going because I need to be activated by the music.” Telopa points to singer Kat Factor, who is featured on The Human Experience’s new album Broken Open—the cover of which Telopa painted—as a source of inspiration for him. “She has an amazing voice and can do things that I can never do musically,” he explains, “so I’m just trying to capture that … and let it feed through me in a two-dimensional way.” Reinhold’s entrée into the world of art was largely influenced by the passing of his father, Michael Reinhold, in 2006. He found solace from the loss through art therapy
“I WANT TO BE BY A STAGE WHERE THE MUSIC IS GOING TO INSPIRE ME ... I’M GOING BECAUSE I NEED TO BE ACTIVATED BY THE MUSIC.”—TELOPA

In the same way that art has helped Reinhold through hardship, he sees festivals as a way for people to heal within a collective psyche. “Everyone has trauma and problems with connection, and when you’re at a festival, you unplug from that mainstream world,” he says. “It opens you to a new family of people who don’t care what you look like or how you dress or what kind of music you listen to—everything goes. It’s sort of the ticket to let the artist out in you.”

Bottom Line UC Santa Cruz professor Tim Duane outlines pathways to a clean-energy economy By ARIC SLEEPER
F
rom scrubbing the White House website of climate change references to signing an executive order that places President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan on the chopping block, our current administration is dismantling the path toward a clean-energy economy piece by hard-fought piece.
Meanwhile, champions of clean energy like UC Santa Cruz professor of environmental studies Tim Duane are fighting to show the private sector that investing in renewable energy isn’t just better for the environment, but also for a business’ bottom line and the world economy as a whole. Duane was the lead author of “From
Risk to Return: Investing in a Clean Energy Economy,” a report by the Risky Business Project, a non-partisan research imitative founded by Michael Bloomberg, Henry Paulson, and Thomas Steyer. Waves checked in with Duane to learn more about the business argument behind environmental responsibility.

Tell us about the Risky Business Project. The initial report by the Risky Business Project emphasized that to not recognize the climate issue is a serious risk for businesses—that’s why they call it Risky Business. That report in 2014 highlighted rising sea levels, temperature increases, and how those factors affect agriculture and a variety of other businesses. And I think the science is well settled on the risks associated with climate change, but the political discourse was suggesting that we needed to have a clearer understanding of the economic cost of not dealing with climate. I wasn’t involved in that initial report but I was very appreciative of the effort, because when environmental regulators and groups start raising these
“ THE ECONOMICS OF RENEWABLES ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER ALL THE TIME.” concerns they’re criticized because it’s perceived that they have a vested interest in the outcome. Business leaders don’t have a vested interest in having themselves more regulated. The recent report focuses on reducing greenhouse gases 80 percent by 2050. How did you arrive at that figure? It’s an estimate that a number of other studies have identified as the level of
emissions reduction we would need to achieve in most of the industrialized world—Europe, Japan, the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—in order to keep us within the atmospheric carbon budget to stabilize a total temperature increase by two degrees centigrade or less. We took that number as a starting point, and simply asked the question: How could we achieve an 80 percent reduction? What would that require?

“IF YOU’RE IMPORTING OIL ON THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE FROM CANADA INTO THE U.S. AND THEN YOU’RE BURNING THAT OIL AT YOUR LOCAL POWER PLANT, THAT ACTUALLY GENERATES FEWER JOBS IN THE U.S. THAN IF YOU INSTEAD START ASSEMBLING SOLAR COLLECTORS AND PUT GUYS ON ROOFTOPS INSTALLING THEM.” What are the four pathways for achieving this outlined in the report? We didn’t want to offer a single solution, so we explored the ramifications of a variety of approaches. Some say we just need to capture carbon and sequester it. Others say nuclear power is the answer, and others say renewables are the answer. Those are the three main pathways people have proposed to reduce our carbon emissions and they served as the foundation of our analysis.
The fourth, mixed pathway recognizes that a balanced portfolio is more likely to reduce costs and achieve outcomes. What are the challenges that come with each of the options? The high renewables pathway requires significant increases in building renewables and that has challenges like having enough transmission to move the power to the places where there’s
demand, or the possible environmental impacts. The high nuclear pathway requires a dramatic increase in nuclear power production comparable to what China has done in a fast time. There’s siting issues, safety issues, and economic issues with nuclear. Westinghouse, the biggest nuclear producer in the U.S., just filed for bankruptcy, which raises questions if it is economically feasible. Carbon-capture sequestration also has a lot of economic feasibility issues.

In contrast, with renewables costs are coming down much more rapidly than we anticipated. People may point to the technical challenges, but the economics of renewables are getting better and better all the time. How do these pathways affect job creation? Our analysts found that the mixed scenario would actually generate slightly more jobs by 2050 than business as usual. For example, if you’re importing oil on the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada into the U.S. and then you’re burning that oil at your local power plant—that actually generates fewer jobs in the U.S. than if you instead start assembling solar collectors and put guys on rooftops installing them. I can certainly say we wouldn’t lose jobs. But if we don’t focus on creating and assembling renewable technology in this country, those sorts of jobs will be elsewhere in the world, and we will be importing that technology.
“ IF WE DON’T FOCUS ON CREATING AND ASSEMBLING RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGY IN THIS COUNTRY, THOSE SORTS OF JOBS WILL BE ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, AND WE WILL BE IMPORTING THAT TECHNOLOGY.” What are your hopes and concerns in regard to achieving this 80 percent reduction? I am very optimistic about the incredible rate of technological innovation and decline in the cost of renewable technologies. It has far exceeded what we predicted five years ago and certainly exceeded my expectations when I started in this
field in 1979. At the same time, I’m deeply concerned that the current administration is taking steps backward that will slow us down during a critical period. In the longterm, I believe it’s not a question of if, but when we make this transition. Society clearly needs to and this report lays out the path.

He slept in a mix of sawdust and fiberglass, braving cold, wet nights with open windows. His only companion was his newly adopted black cat named Bear.
“ This selfie was taken on the way from La Paz, Mexico to Hiva Oa, in the Marquesas Islands. I had just crossed the equator and was basically in the middle of the ocean, 1,500 miles from any island or land. It was quite the accomplishment, since I was doing this journey single handed without autopilot. Sailors often refer to this sort of experience as going from a ‘leatherback’ to a ‘shell back.’” “ I got Bear from the SPCA. He was the oldest cat there at the time. Nobody wanted to take him because it was right before Halloween and he was a black cat. He had never been out of the cage, and when I picked him up, I took him straight to the boat with me. Most cats would probably be freaked out, but he loved it. He’d catch small fish and eat the whole thing—spine, scales, eyeballs, everything! Not to say I didn’t talk to myself on my month-long journey across the Pacific, but I’d also talk to him. He was super vocal and boisterous and was my little buddy.”

The tale of
CLOVER'S NEW LEAF EXTERIOR TTTTTTT ALL HANDS ON DECK
"With no power tools, it was grueling work chipping away all the rot. I had to basically rebuild the whole deck with pieces of scrap wood, then fiberglass over the whole thing. It was a sight for sore eyes when the process was finished."
THE UNDERBELLY
"After grinding off all the old paint and years of mossy build-up, we were amazed to see the bottom of Clover was made from solid mahogany. The craftsmanship was like nothing I'd ever seen. I almost didn't want to paint over such beauty."
INTERIOR TTTTTTT THE GUTS
"I've always been pretty good mechanically, but this repair job was especially challenging. Trying to find parts of an engine built in the ’50s, and then getting the old relic operational, was a feat in itself."

ADVENTURE
“Some of the locations I came across were simply out of a dream. I remember coming into this little bay in the Marquesas Islands called Fauta Iva, which mean Bay of Virgins. I was getting close, maybe a mile away, when this black squall came out of nowhere and blew me five more miles back out into the ocean. When I finally made it into the bay, it was full of luxury yachts and I was kind of forced to meander single-handedly through this maze of boats right to the front of the pack. It was a little unnerving, to say the least, because if I didn’t set my anchor correctly I’d pingpong into all these million-dollar boats. That being said, I had the most incredible view imaginable.”
an idea hit him: This could be his way out. He had nothing left to lose, and the thought of harnessing the wind’s power and sailing off into the horizon seemed like the escape he’d been waiting for. At $500, this boat was out of his price range, but the idea stuck and there was no going back. The next eight months were filled with wanderlust, sailboats, and sailing life. Barry’s every move, every thought, had some nuance of sailing to it. He spent hours riding his bike around the Santa Cruz Harbor studying the boats, with all of their different attributes and characteristics. Hal Roth’s How to Sail Around the
World was one of his favorite books, and he studied every page with childlike wonder. As luck would have it, his best friend Travis soon stumbled upon a sailboat listed for $1 on Craigslist. The 1959 Lapworth sailboat, named Clover, was moored (barely) off the Santa Cruz Wharf and in bad shape, close to coming undone and meeting its fate on the bottom of the ocean. The electrical was shot. It had a 1956 flat-top engine inside and a 1972 outboard, both of which were totally seized up and nonoperational. Much of the wooden boat was rotten and would need to be repaired. Fixing
it would be a monumental task, but Barry didn’t care. It was love at first sight. Travis helped him tow the boat down to Capitola, where it sat moored off the Capitola Wharf for the next six months as he spent every hour of every day repairing the old gal, by hand. He slept in a mix of sawdust and fiberglass, braving cold, wet nights with open windows. His only companion was his newly adopted black cat named Bear. After months on end of backbreaking monotony, Clover was finally ready to get hoisted out of the water to have her underbelly inspected. To the surprise of no one, she was a mossy mess and needed

“As a surfer, I was always looking for amazing set-ups and perfect waves. Cloudbreak, in Fiji, was a wave that had always been on my bucket list, and it just so happened that I got to the Fijian break right after they lifted the ban for boats to anchor there. I had front-row parking at one of the best waves in the world. I even got a gig helping with Jet Ski maintenance and repairs when the WCT [World Championship Tour] came into town. That was the year that Nat Young got second place, so it was rad seeing a friend from home do so well and to be able to celebrate with him.�

to be totally re-sanded and painted. Barry’s dad chipped in to help and, a few months and multiple cans of paint later, she was finally seaworthy. Once back in the water, she was a thing of beauty: Classic in her lines with solid mahogany, and both engines totally rebuilt and now purring like a panther. She was ready. On Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011 at 12:01 a.m. (it’s bad luck to leave on a Friday), Clover slipped out into the darkness with Barry, Bear, Barry's dad, and a friend aboard. The knowledge gained
from hundreds of hours studying books by candlelight was about to be tested. With $300, no credit cards, no GPS, and no computer or phone, Barry’s fate now rested with the winds and the tides as he made his way down the California coast en route for Baja. His friend disembarked in San Diego, and his dad followed suit in Cabo, leaving Barry to set sail solo for the first time. He traversed the Pacific to the Marquesas Islands in 29 days, then proceeded to French Polynesia, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, and New Caledonia. Barry
then sailed back to Fiji, where he lost Clover in a cyclone and had to fly home. I recently caught up with Barry here in Santa Cruz to go through some images from his four-and-a-half-year voyage. I was in awe of the magnitude of his endurance and inspired beyond measure. I enthusiastically suggested that he write a book about the adventure. He smiled and replied back with, “Yeah, maybe one day I will.” In the meantime, here are a few snapshots from that life-changing journey.

armel Honey Company beekeeper, founder and owner Jake Reisdorf is only 14 years old. Even more impressive is the fact he started this business—which he runs with assistance from his parents, Becky and Jeff, and occasional help from his younger sister, Brooke—at age 11. The then-fifth grader did a class project about honeybees, and hasn’t

looked back since. Carmel Honey Company sells honey and honeycomb products and provides “hive placement,” which entails placing beehives on domestic and commercial properties. As the business grew, Reisdorf learned more about bees, including about colony collapse disorder (CCD). He created the “Jake Gives Back” program, where he shares bee knowledge with kids and adults
through classroom visits and corporate and nonprofit events. Reisdorf also donates a percentage of sales to honey and bee research. Restaurants from across the country purchase honey from Reisdorf, including several Santa Cruz and Monterey county chefs. Many local restaurants even have his beehives on-site.

Course has two beehives next to the driving range. “Jake and his crew harvest the honey here on the property,” says Johnny De Vivo, executive chef of Porter’s in the Forest restaurant at Poppy Hills. “They supply us with the comb in season and with the honey year around.” Porter’s menu features honey in dishes including “Jake’s Honey Semifreddo” with apple, mint, brown butter crumble, and pok pok (a Thai drinking vinegar). In the spring, they showcase his honeycomb as an accent on a housemade charcuterie board. Carmel Honey Company placed hives on the roof of The Big Fish Grill on the Monterey Wharf in April.

Honey prodigy Jake Reisdorf (right) pictured with Johnny De Vivo, executive chef of Porter’s in the Forest restaurant at Poppy Hills.
The Beach House announced a March dinner with a presentation by Reisdorf to celebrate the upcoming hives, tickets sold out in 10 days. While diners enjoyed Chef Matt Farmer’s fourcourse dinner with wine pairings (each course featuring honey), Reisdorf spoke on topics like how important pollinators are to our existence and how honey is made. “Talking to people and enlightening them about bees and pollination is my one of my favorite things about having this business,” Reisdorf says. The event was such a success that a second dinner is planned for Sept. 21. Ron Mendoza, former pastry chef at Aubergine in Carmel, now owns and runs Monterey’s Revival Ice Cream. He began featuring Reisdorf’s honey in his creations at Aubergine, and carried the practice over to Revival, which hosted an event with Reisdorf in February. “Jake and I spoke about bee production, and how we utilize that product in our ice creams and topping,” says Mendoza, who made a special Honey Power sundae in which every component featured honey: honey-soaked olive oil cake, beeswax ice cream, whipped honey cream, pine-infused honey, and honey meringue. Karl Staub, executive chef at Seascape Beach Resort in Aptos, is another fan of Carmel Honey Company. “I first met Jake and his mother last summer and was impressed not only with the quality of his product but also his wisdom beyond age and presentation,” says Staub. “I wish I'd had his business sense and self-confidence at his age.” While running his business, Reisdorf has made honor roll every trimester at Carmel Middle School and has been nominated for individual awards by his teachers. He also nabbed two business honors last year: CSU Monterey Bay Startup Challenge’s grand prize and national Score Foundation’s Outstanding Young Entrepreneur. “Jake is super responsible,” says his mother, Becky. “He takes great pride in knowing what needs to be done for school, meeting deadlines and making it all happen.” The bee business is an invaluable education in its own right, she adds: “We also believe what he learns at a honey bee conference out of state or a business meeting with a corporate client or a speaking engagement with kids … are all valuable and educational experiences for him.” Learn more at carmelhoneycompany.com.

1/Artist: Ralph Steadman Wine: “A Cardinal Zin”
It would be a cardinal sin if you were a student of wine who didn’t recognize this label by Ralph Steadman, who is famous for his work for Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Turning to the famed illustrator was a natural fit for the equally avant-garde Grahm. When asked what it was like to work with Steadman, the local vintner says, “There was not much I could get him to do. He’s a genius, so I would just let him do his thing.” In 2001, the label was banned in Ohio, as their state code on wine labeling forbids advertisement or representation portraying pictures of religious subjects. In 2006, Bonny Doon Vineyard sold this brand to the Wine Group LLC (one of the largest producers in the country) to help stay congruent with its deepest values.
DESIGNED FOR
DRINKING FIVE OF OUR FAVORITE BONNY DOON VINEYARD LABELS By PAUL WETTERAU
Randall Grahm, winemaker for Bonny Doon Vineyard, is known for employing out-of-the-box winemaking techniques. Fittingly, his marketing methods are just as unique. He has an unparalleled knack for harnessing the talent of great artists to convey the moods of his distinctive wines. He’s done this to such great effect that Cal Poly San Louis Obispo’s viticulture and vinification program has offered a class that specifically focused on the stories behind Bonny Doon Vineyard’s labels. Herewith are five of our favorites.

2/ Artist: Anne Bascove
Wine: “A Proper Claret”
The back label of this blend best explains this wine: “If you are enjoying a joint and Yorkshire pudding, you will want to be drinking A Proper Claret.” On the front label sits a proper-looking man with a monocle, fishnet stockings and a pocket square. The names of the varietals are listed on the bindings of books in the background and the vintage is found on the character’s shirt cuff. Bascove, who works in Manhattan, has also helped with the winery’s “Gravitas” and “Les Pousseur Syrah” designs. When asked where he gets the ideas for the these offbeat labels, Grahm laughs, “Lots of drugs.” All jokes aside, this wine is for the sophisticated crowd— not barbarians.
3/ Artist: Chuck House
Wine: “Le Cigare Volant”
With this label, artist Chuck House paid homage to the Châteauneufdu-Pape region of France. “Chuck is really easy to work with,” Grahm says. “He asks a lot of questions, [like]: What’s the wine taste like? What types of people are going to be drinking this wine?” The French village is well known for its great red wine, and is also famous for its bizarre ban on extraterrestrials. In 1954, in response to burn marks in the vineyards, the mayor at the time passed a law against aliens to prevent this from happening. The story has it that, just before this law was passed, a man from Northern France said he had seen two deep-sea divers emerging from a cigar-shaped space ship. This Southern Rhône red blend comes with Bonny Doon’s signature screwcap, and is an iconic label in the world of wine marketing.

4/ Artist: Lindsey Sonu
Wine: “I’m Not Drinking Any $%&*#! Merlot”
Art can come in various forms. In this case, graphic designer Lindsey Sonu helps shed light on a varietal whose reputation was damaged by the popular film Sideways (2004). The label evokes memories of Miles, the film’s protagonist, shouting, “I’m not drinking any f—ing Merlot!” (Ironically, one of Miles’ favorite wines is Château Petrus, which is 100-percent Merlot.) Images of Buellton and the Hitching Post Restaurant come to mind when seeing the bumper of the car in this label. In a market that’s seemingly dominated by Pinot Noir, thanks to Sideways, this bottle of Merlotdominant deliciousness is a great value and much different than the syrupy wines that the movie character Miles dislikes so much. Sonu can be found on her lunch break surfing Steamer Lane, perhaps thinking of the next label idea she and Grahm are dreaming up.
5/ Artist: Wendy Cook
Wine: “Beeswax Vineyard Picpoul”
2/
The wine—pronounced “peek-pool”—is enough to grab the attention of any sommelier or wine geek. With fruit sourced from the organic Beeswax Vineyard in Monterey County, the label’s look is fitting: hand-drawn, organic, sleek, and simple. Wendy Cook, who works as a calligrapher in San Francisco, decanted this one perfectly. The varietal, which translates to “lip stinger,” doesn’t have much presence in the average wine store, but who knows how long that will last? The juice sits in contact with the lees (dead yeast cells) for extended periods of time to add complexity. This label serves as a great introduction to what Bonny Doon Vineyard is doing out in San Juan Bautista, where a number of varietals could eventually be planted and made into organic wine.

FIELD NOTES
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PERSON I KNOW By KYLE THIERMANN
T
homas Morton tries on other people’s lives for a living. Over the course of his career as a VICE correspondent, he has infiltrated religious cults, lived in old-folks homes, and been the first non-Juggalo to attend and report on the Gathering of the Juggalos, a festival for fans of the Insane Clown Posse. Morton stands at 5-foot-6-inches, wears glasses, and has coffee-stained teeth. If you watch VICE on HBO or have seen his own show, Balls Deep, on Viceland, what will draw you in is the contrast between Morton and just about every situation he hurls himself into. Picture Steve Urkel reporting from a war zone. His self-deprecating humor and clear intelligence are
just two of the qualities that have skyrocketed him to success. I am on an airplane as I write this. A few moments ago I noticed that the person across the aisle from me is watching Morton's HBO episode on the U.S. heroin crisis. As a filmmaker myself, Morton’s position in media more closely resembles what I want to do than anyone else’s. To put it bluntly, I want his job. It’s not a hard sell when you consider the freedom that he enjoys to delve into a subculture that fascinates him, turn it into a thoughtful story, and reach millions of people. So when I had the opportunity to interview him for my podcast, The Kyle Thiermann Show, I caught the next flight to Los Angeles to make it happen.
As Morton and I sipped our coffee and began our 90-minute conversation, he told me that this was “one of his first vacations in a threeyear working jag.” About 40 minutes in, I asked the question that I had wanted to ask since he agreed to be on my show: “What has it been like to navigate your success?” Before we get to his answer, let me digress by admitting that the main form of neurosis I struggle with is the false belief that one day I will “make it”—the dangerous assumption that happiness is just up yonder, past the grassy knoll, and onto the in-flight entertainment screen. Thankfully, I am beginning to identify this corrosive mindset with greater proficiency thanks to a stack of self-help books with earnest titles like How To Stop Worrying and Start Living. That being said, I can still spiral into the toxic swamp of wondering if I will ever be “enough.” In this question to Morton, I wanted to hear from the horse’s mouth what it is like to experience the success that he has attained at the age of 33—six years older than me. He replied without missing a beat: “I guess there’s always been so much to learn and do ... there’s not any time to choose to focus on any of those things.” The profundity of this answer didn’t hit me until days later when I was listening back to the conversation before releasing it. Here is my interpretation: when we stare too long at the fluorescent light of success, it burns holes in our retinas and distracts us from seeing ahead and focusing on our craft. When we master our craft, success is the byproduct. Morton is successful in my eyes, but it seems that he hasn’t had time to dwell on it. He’s been too busy working on the next season of his show. Listen to the full conversation at kyle. surf/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

OKIINO leggings offer style and functionality from sea to street to yoga studio By ELIZABETH LIMBACH
W
hen Robyn Tosick, Angeline Kung and a group of friends arrived in Zihuatanejo, Mexico for a surf trip in 2014, they were met with dreamy conditions: 90-degree weather, 70-degree water, and firing waves. They surfed for eight hours on the first day, and were sunburnt and exhausted upon finally dragging themselves out of the water. The surf was too good to miss, but how was their skin going to survive six more days of nonstop surfing in the intense heat and sun? The remedy was a surprising item in their suitcases.
“We all just threw on our yoga pants, and it saved us,” says Kung. “It allowed us to surf for multiple hours a day, double sessions, for the six days. The fabric wasn’t right for duck diving or for drying quickly, but it served the purpose.” They said goodbye to burned bums—and also to the types of bothersome wardrobe
malfunctions all bikini-wearing surfers are familiar with. By the last day of their stay, they noticed a woman down the beach wearing her yoga pants in the water, too, and an idea was born. Back home in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Francisco, the pair began researching the market
for surf leggings. Sure enough, the major surf brands had forecasted the trend, as well, and were introducing leggings into their lineups. “But we felt like there was a way to do it in a much more beautiful, custom, and high-performance way,” says Kung. “That was the genesis—it was born out of a need.” Armed with backgrounds in corporate sales and marketing (Tosick) and corporate finance (Kung), the women set about developing the idea, testing fabrics, and creating prototypes for their brand, which they christened OKIINO, or “the land that fronts the open sea” in Japanese. A year after sporting yoga pants in Mexican waters, OKIINO debuted with a crowd-funding campaign that nearly doubled its goal and attracted donors from 14 different countries. The company fulfilled its first order in November of 2015. Women across the world now rock the sophisticated leggings, including OKIINO ambassadors like big-wave pioneer Bianca Valenti and

surf reporter Shannon Quirk. While the sleek, sporty leggings are great for surfing in warmer climates, you won’t see Tosick, Kung and their customers donning OKIINO in the lineup at Ocean Beach—the water is never warm enough to go sans wetsuit. This inspired a product that’s broadly multipurpose, just as suitable for surfing as for running, traveling, yoga, or—paired with a cute top and shoes—a meeting or event. Tosick and Kung thought of everything in their design, and it’s this meticulous functionality that makes OKIINO stand out from other leggings on the market. The premium Italian fabric is moisture-wicking, faderesistant, temperature-equalizing, and ultra-quick drying (going from wet to dry in seven minutes), which makes it easy and comfortable to hop out of the water and onto a bike, or go straight from a sweaty hot-yoga class to a coffee date. True to the original intention of protecting women’s skin while surfing, the leggings have the highest Ultraviolet Protection Factor rating, UPF 50. They are also super high
compression—perfect for air travel and expecting mothers—and the tight fit retains its shape and won’t stretch out after a few wears like leggings are wont to do. “They have a little more give once they acclimate to your body, but they still have that second-skin, bodyshaping fit, which is great for freedom of movement,” says Tosick. But leggings are ubiquitous beyond sports: in the age of "athleisure" wear, women of all ages and lifestyles wear leggings. With this in mind, Kung and Tosick wanted to offer products that were as stylish as they were useful. “A lot of times style is sacrificed when you have something that’s highly technical or high performance,” says Tosick. “We wanted something that had both.” The colorful prints feature custom, hand-painted artwork that has been digitally sublimated onto the fabric. “It’s essentially wearable art,” says Kung. Artist Amanda Herrin created the mermaid-esque Scales print, while artist Jenny Johansson contributed the Lionfish and Waves designs. OKIINO lets
customers decide which prints will be produced next through the “Design Lab” on okiino.com. (An adorable side note: OKIINO repurposes excess fabric from the adult leggings for matching toddler-sized pairs.) In making a product they believe in, Kung and Tosick also wanted to promote a message of inspiration and connectivity. They’re realizing this vision as a women-owned business focused on empowering other women, with sustainability initiatives (the solid-color leggings are made from 100-percent recycled fibers, and all of their products are made in California), and by giving a portion of revenues to the nonprofits 5 Gyres, Surf for Life, and the Skin Cancer Foundation. “When Angeline and I started this, obviously we were excited to see the opportunity in the market to make a cool product, but we were really thinking, ‘How can we do something bigger and build a brand with purpose?’” Tosick says. “That’s what we’re working toward every day.” Find them online at okiino.com.
