What’s Up With... TOP NEWS DANA POINT SHOULD KNOW THIS WEEK
Historical Society Honors 2 Local Businesswomen for Founders Day BY LILLIAN BOYD, DANA POINT TIMES
On Wednesday, September 22, the Dana Point Historical Society will honor Donna Kalez of Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching and Gisele Anderson of Capt. Dave’s Dana Point Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari as the Founders Day recipients. Thanks to Anderson and Kalez, Dana Point is now officially the first Whale Heritage Site in the Americas, as established by the World Cetacean Alliance (WCA), the world’s largest marine conservation partnership. The WCA is an organization that promotes safe and sustainable whale watching. A Whale Heritage Site is defined by the WCA as “an outstanding location where cetaceans (whales, dolphins, or porpoises) are embraced through the cultural, economic, social, and political lives of associated communities, and where people and cetaceans coexist in an authentic and respectful way.” The co-directors of the Dana Point Whale Watching Company began the application process early in 2020 after successfully trademarking Dana Point as the Dolphin & Whale Watching Capital of the World in 2019. Kalez is the general manager of Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching, and Anderson operates Capt. Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari with husband Dave Anderson.
Kalez and Anderson oversaw a rigorous application process through 2020 and received the official designation last January. “To have Dana Point recognized as a Whale Heritage Site is a dream and has been a goal of mine for some time,” Kalez has previously said. “Dana Point has historically been an incredible destination to watch and learn about whales and dolphins, and now we are happy to share this with the world.” Kalez says the criteria for acceptance are incredibly challenging, focusing on protection, sustainability, education, research, public access and awareness, as well as requiring a community effort that furthers the purpose of a Whale Heritage Site. “Being the first Whale Heritage Site in the Americas is an amazing accomplishment and serves to further recognize Dana Point and the whales and dolphins that live and visit here the recognition they deserve, as well as send a message to the world that Dana Point is also a place that protects and responsibly watches cetaceans,” Anderson said. To learn more about the Whale Heritage Sites, go to whaleheritagesites.org/ sites or worldcetaceanalliance.org. The Dana Point Historical Society requires unvaccinated attendees to wear

masks at all times during the event. Vaccinated attendees may choose to wear masks when indoors, if desired. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with drinks and hors d’oeuvres on the patio,

Unofficial Results Indicate Newsom’s Victory over Recall Attempt BY SHAWN RAYMUNDO, DANA POINT TIMES

Dana Point Times September 17-23, 2021
Gov. Gavin Newsom will stay in office and complete the remainder of his term for the next year, as he staved off the GOP-led removal attempt on Tuesday night, Sept. 14. By 9 p.m. on election night, several news outlets had projected Newsom handily defeating the recall, with roughly 67% of voters declining to oust the Democrat from power. Polls in California closed at 8 p.m. “Tonight, I’m humbled, grateful but resolved in the spirit of my political hero, Robert Kennedy,” Newsom said during his victory speech before thanking Californians “for rejecting this recall.” Page 3
The recall election, which ultimately resulted in Newsom keeping his job for the next 15 months, was estimated to cost taxpayers $276 million, according to an analysis conducted by the state’s Department of Finance. Responding to former President Donald Trump’s recent unfounded claims that California’s election was rigged, Newsom warned of the lingering effects of “Trumpism.” “We defeated Donald Trump; we didn’t defeat Trumpism. Trumpism is still alive, all across this country,” Newsom said. The recall election, only the second in the state’s history, stemmed from
criticism of restrictions Newsom had imposed during the pandemic, as well as grievances over his handling of issues related to immigration, taxes and homelessness, among other things. In Orange County, more than 56% of constituents voted no on the recall, as of 10 p.m. on Tuesday, according to results from the county’s Registrar of Voters. Among the candidates who ran with the hope of replacing Newsom, Republican Larry Elder had a substantial lead ahead of the crowded pack, earning about 44% of the vote. Kevin Paffrath, a Democrat, was next behind Elder, garnering more than 10% of the votes. danapointtimes.com

Teenage Yogi Expands Brand of Helping Others with New Partnership BY SHAWN RAYMUNDO, DANA POINT TIMES
Throughout his life, Tabay Atkins has shown the world that he’s never been too young to accomplish his goals and dreams. By the time he was 11 years old, he had earned his fifth yoga certification. Since then, he’s added more certifications under his belt—now up to 11—in specialties such as Yoga4Cancer, Kids Yoga for Autism Spectrum, Teen and Tween Yoga and Restorative Yoga. At the time that San Clemente Times first spoke with Atkins in January 2017, his entrepreneurial spirit and desire to help kids and adults through yoga instruction had given him aspirations of traveling the world and building a brand for himself. Now, more than four years since the San Clemente kid first jumped onto the scene, making headlines nationwide as becoming one of the youngest—if not the youngest—yoga instructors in the world, he’s expanded his brand and reach considerably when it comes to teaching yoga. He’s even added vegan cooking classes to his repertoire. With the money he’s made from those classes, which are now taught online, he’s donated most to directly support those suffering from cancer. He also donates his time by offering free yoga classes to cancer patients. “When I first started teaching my classes, I wanted to donate all the money I made to helping people with cancer, so I’ve been donating every dollar from my yoga classes and appearances and everything to helping people with cancer,” Atkins says. And just a couple of years ago, at 14, Atkins also graduated from high school with a 4.0 GPA. Now a 16-year-old, the young yogi is embarking on a new partnership that he hopes will take his mission of helping others to new heights. “Now, I’m a Nike athlete,” Atkins tells Dana Point Times this week, further explaining that he’ll get to teach yoga classes and poses through Nike Playlist videos on YouTube. “Now, I have a bigger platform to share my mission.” In one of the latest videos posted to Nike’s YouTube channel last month, Atkins gives a crash course on how to do the three Warrior poses, which he filmed doing from the backyard of his family’s San Clemente home. For Atkins, the new partnership—one of many that he already has—is another exciting opportunity to continue growing Dana Point Times September 17-23, 2021

his brand and reaching more people interested in learning about yoga. “The things he’ll be doing are promoting and doing special appearances for them and with them,” explains Atkins’ mother, Sahel Anvarinejad, a cancer survivor who on Tuesday, Sept. 14, celebrated her nine-year anniversary of being cancer-free. It was witnessing Anvarinejad’s own experience learning yoga as she was recovering from her chemotherapy treatments that inspired Atkins, then 6 years old, to begin learning yoga himself. “I was in the worst physical shape of my life, because chemo kicked my butt,” Anvarinejad recalls, adding that through yoga, though, she “went from not being able to walk on my own to completing a (200-hour vinyasa) training.” “I was with her the whole time; I saw from when she first got into it and then got out of it, and there was a complete transformation,” Atkins says. “She was able to walk on her own again, and she was back to her healthy self, even healthier than before she had cancer.” For a while, Anvarinejad, who has 18 specialized yoga certificates, ran her own local yoga studio, Care4Yoga, where both she and Atkins led classes for kids and adults whenever they were in town, as they split their time between San Clemente and Hawaii. Anvarinejad would teach the classes for kids, while Atkins taught the adult classes.
“Care4Yoga was the first kids yoga studio in Orange County,” she notes. “There’s tons of yoga studios all over the place, but you don’t see them for kids. With so many amazing benefits of yoga, I’m thinking, why are there only adults doing it and not kids?” Like most businesses over the past year, the local studio encountered problems during the pandemic. With such a small space, Anvarinejad says, she didn’t know when she could resume in-person classes safely. “It didn’t make sense to keep (the studio) when I didn’t know when I could go back to teach any classes,” she says, noting that the new Nike partnership and other collaborations have also kept Atkins and Anvarinejad on the road a lot. The pandemic did, however, present a new opportunity for Atkins to reach new audiences across the globe—virtual classes. Prior to the public health crisis, Atkins would get messages from people in other countries expressing their wish to take one of his many classes. “Now that it’s online, I’ve been able to reach more people than I would before,” he says. “Before I would get messages saying, ‘I wish I can take classes, but I’m unable, became I’m in this part of the world.’ Now I’m able to teach everywhere.” Through his website, tabayatkins.com, subscribers can watch Atkins’ videos and participate in his private or group yoga sessions, as well his vegan cooking Page 4
classes. Amid all the opportunities that Atkins has come across in the past few years, one new endeavor that he’s excited to take on is that of a gas station operator. Now living in San Clemente full-time, Atkins and Anvarinejad have taken over her father’s 76 fuel station in Capistrano Beach. Anvarinejad explains that her father Michael Nejad, is ready to retire, and has handed off his station to her and Atkins. For Atkins, this has been a dream job in the making since before he discovered yoga was his dharma. “I think back now, my original dream job was working at the gas station,” Atkins recalls. “I have pictures of me as a baby in my grandfather’s arms at the gas station … since I was 3, I would always ask my grandfather, ‘Can I work here?’” “Now I get to own it,” Atkins later adds. Touching on their busy schedule, Anvarinejad expresses confidence that she and Atkins will be able to tackle the new opportunity. “He didn’t think that we would do it, because our schedule is and has been very crazy,” Anvarinejad says, laughing next to Nejad. “But we’ve also shown that we’re able to handle everything, and for Tabay, this was more important to him than anything. I mean, everything else, we’ll be able to manage … this is very special, this is (my father’s) legacy.” To learn more about Atkins, follow him on Instagram and Twitter @tabayatkins. danapointtimes.com

Raises $800K at Monarch Beach Golf Links Paige and Ryan Getzlaf, captain of the Anaheim Ducks and a member of the 2007 Stanley Cup champions, hosted the 10th annual “Getzlaf Golf Shootout” on Saturday, September 11, at Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point. The event helped raise more than $800,000 in support of CureDuchenne, a global nonprofit focused on finding and funding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The charity golf event brought together local athletes, celebrities and community leaders to raise funds for CureDuchenne’s community programs and investments into life-saving Duchenne muscular dystrophy research to improve the lives of the Duchenne boys, young men and their families. The event included a golf tournament, awards reception and dinner. Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects approximately 1 in 3,500 male births worldwide; boys are usually diagnosed around 5 years of age, lose the ability to walk by their mid-teens and most boys with Duchenne don’t survive past their mid-20s. It is 100% fatal.

Rides for All OC Youth
The San Clemente-Capistrano Bay Branch of the American Association of University Women will hold its first meeting of the 2021-2022 year over Zoom on Saturday, Sept. 18. The topic will be “Tech Trek Camp 2021: Educating the Women of the Future in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.” Special guest speakers will be the middle school girls who participated in this summer’s virtual science camp. They will share their experiences from the camp, where they learned about STEM career options, and created robotic hats that capture their creativity, as well as about the United Nations’ sustainable goals and programming capabilities. According to the organization, Tech Trek is an annual AAUW-sponsored event, which usually takes place at local colleges and universities, but has been online since the COVID-19 pandemic. In-person camps, the group said, will resume when it is deemed safe. Local branches grant scholarships to
The Orange County Transportation Authority has launched a Youth Ride Free Pass, a six-month promotional program that allows more than a half-million youth in Orange County the opportunity to ride free wherever OC Bus travels. The Youth Ride Free pass allows passengers ages 6 to 18 years to ride any OCTA fixed-route bus in Orange County for free during the six-month program, which runs through the end of February 2022. According to recent U.S. Census data, that makes more than 520,000 youth in that age group eligible to ride free. “Allowing our youth in Orange County to ride the OC Bus for free will encourage a new generation of riders to discover the convenience and benefits of public transportation,” said OCTA Chairman Andrew Do, who also serves as Chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. “This program is good for our community, for our schools, and for our economy.” OCTA is working with school districts across Orange County to distribute the Page 5

Approvals were granted from Caltrans and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which will fund the pass through grants made possible by the Climate Change Investments program, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Youth Ride Free pass expands on the recent success of the Community College Pass Program, which allows thousands of community college students throughout the county unlimited rides on OC Bus anywhere in the county. Based on the student pass program’s success at Santa Ana College and the School of Continuing Education, OCTA worked with each college to expand that program to Santiago Canyon College in Orange, Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Fullerton College, Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Cypress College and Irvine Valley College. The Youth Ride Free program is part of a phased campaign to encourage riders to return to OC Bus as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic recedes. The free pass runs through February, at which time data will be reviewed for potential next steps. The pass, available by request from parents, is a physical pass with a magnetic stripe. OCTA will continue working to distribute the passes in partnership with local K-12 school districts, as well as at the OCTA store and online.

GUEST OPINION | Health and Nutrition 101 by Gina Cousineau
CAN YOU HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO? T he old adage of having one’s cake and eating it, too, has many interpretations, but according to the Cambridge Dictionary, its definition is “to do or get two good things at the same time, especially things that are not usually possible to have together.” That is, in essence, what I am trying to get for my clients. I want them to enjoy foods that are both nutritious and delicious, as well as help them get to their weight goal, improve their health, and maintain a sustainable diet approach for a lifetime. No small feat, I will say. Today, people know more about nutrition that ever before, yet we are sicker and more overweight than ever. Unfortunately, the amount of misinformation at our fingertips is clouding the mountains of science and evidence that clearly show the paths to health and wellness. So, along with providing basic nutrition education to each and every client I have the privilege of working with, I must counter the noise that is preventing them from reaching and maintaining their lofty goals. HEALTH AND Most people I enNUTRITION 101 counter believe that BY GINA COUSINEAU nutrition is an all-ornone approach. I either get to “cheat” and eat that cake, or I am going to deprive myself of those extra calories to help myself lose weight. This punitive and restrictive approach leads to disordering eating across the board, and ultimately a lifetime struggle to achieve weight and health goals. I have clearly spoken in the past that while young, through our 40s, our bodies are amazingly resilient and can counter the effects of all we throw at it, including yo-yo dieting and unhealthy food/lifestyle choices. But after the age of 50, we start to see the compounding effects of these lifestyle choices rear their ugly head. And while we may not believe that “you can teach an old dog new tricks,” I see, every day, clients beginning to learn how, and why a new approach to living can and will help them live long, healthy, independent lives. The human body is remarkable, to say

NO TO AMAZON’S PROPOSAL— LEAVING A LEGACY LAURIE GOOCH, San Clemente In a June 9 Los Angeles Times article about Amazon’s proposal, Arrow Santos aptly observed,“What a lot of people don’t realize is this really is San Clemente’s last vacant land for all time. Once this is constructed, this is it for the future of San Clemente.” Our “last vacant land for all time.” Is it wise, then, for us to spend it on a Distribution Center, a 1970 business model? A single-task facility, a transit hub for goods as they change the modality of transport? A facility with few job types, limited career advancement locally, and a one-size-fits-all salary? Our city leaders, besotted with quick cash and obsessed with an outcome Amazon has fed them, appear willing to do anything to make sure it goes through. When they start to see red flags about traffic, noise, and pollution, will they choose to ignore them? Will they examine the enduring economic ramifications of selecting this facility above all others? Do our city leaders have the strength of character to defer gratification, to be forward thinkers? To make tough decisions based on what is best in the long run for us socially, physically, and economically? Courage to keep our options open until we attract businesses based in innovation rather than operations rooted in the past, businesses that will award us a true advantage in the future? Will our city leaders set us up for a lasting success? In a May 6 San Clemente Times article, Norb Garrett wrote, “And while Pronto Italian Deli is, indeed, brand-new, the seeds for Adriano’s dream date back to the early 1980s, when his grandfather, Vincenzo, bought the property on Avenida Del Mar as a gift to his grandchildren, who weren’t even born yet.” Quoting Adriano’s mother, Donatella, “He bought this building, because he wanted to leave a legacy for his grandchildren.” We call for long-term, future-oriented decision-making like Vincenzo’s. City leaders, take note. Better yet, follow in his footsteps. Step one: vote no on Amazon’s proposal.
the least. I have seen individuals come to me with high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure—the trifecta of unhealthy—and completely “right” the ship. And while this will require time and effort, with the right team of medical-care practitioners, self-advocacy, and a little education and hand-holding, my clients begin to heal and flourish. In my experience, the No. 1 reason people choose to not work with me is for fear of failure with yet another diet. While the thought of maneuvering through uncharted territory is terrifying—as they have tried this many times before without sustainable results—their fears are warranted. That being said, if we consider that “smart people are willing to change,” and that through enlightenment, education and the learning of new things, my clients are pleasantly surprised at how they can shift their brain and start to engage in simple habits with food choices and movement that can be life-saving. To help counter your fear, I encourage you to join me this month in a complimentary virtual “in-kitchen experience and webinar series” for people who “hate to cook.” Each Tuesday night (all sessions are recorded for your convenience), I will do a little nutrition education regarding “hot topics,” and then using food stuff from Trader Joe’s or your grocery store, we will cook a simple and delicious wholesome meal together. Head to my website and register today. And let’s begin this journey together of “having our cake and eating it, too”— with no shame or guilt.

Her extensive education—a BS in dietetics and MS in integrative and functional nutrition—chef training, and 30-plus years as a fitness professional allow her to help clients lose weight and improve their health.

NEW LIFE Dana Hills football upsets Aliso Niguel for first time since 2013 with lastminute TD BY ZACH CAVANAGH, DANA POINT TIMES
I
t was a scintillating all-around performance, a dramatic finish over a fierce local rival and a win that was a long time coming for the Dana Hills football program on Friday, Sept. 10, at Aliso Niguel High School. Senior quarterback Bo Kelly threw his fourth touchdown pass to senior receiver Owen Chambers with less that a minute to go to upset Aliso Niguel, 29-28, defeating the Wolverines for the first time since 2013. Kelly completed 22 of 42 passes for a career-high 409 yards with all four touchdown passes going to Chambers. Chambers, a transfer from JSerra, caught eight passes for 251 yards with touchdown receptions of 52, 47 and 57 yards and the game-winning TD pass of 44 yards. Junior running back Christian Guarascio caught 14 passes for 71 yards. The Dana Hills defense also forced five turnovers—all in the first half—with four interceptions, including two interceptions by senior Hayden Dendiu. Seniors Omarjaye Black and Jagger Wiesen also made interceptions. Senior Broghan Daley caused a fumble, and senior Jonathan Hulse recovered the fumble. Wiesen led all defenders with 12 tackles, including six solo tackles. Daley also co-led the Dolphins with six solo tackles. Dana Hills (2-1) had lost five straight games against Aliso Niguel (3-1) from 2015 to 2019, when the two teams were members of the Sea View League. The Dolphins had beaten the Wolverines in eight straight games from 2005 to 2013. Dana Hills had also lost 11 straight and 24 of its previous 25 games against Coast View Conference opponents, with the lone win coming over Laguna Hills in 2017. Laguna Hills left the conference in all sports in 2020 and joined the Pacific Coast Conference, as the Dolphins did in football only. Aliso Niguel is in the Sea View League of the Coast View Conference this season. Friday’s game turned up the intensity in the final quarter, as Aliso Niguel fought back with two straight touchdowns to take a 22-16 lead with nine minutes left in the game.

scores down the stretch, as Chambers caught a 57-yard touchdown pass to regain the lead for the Dolphins, 23-22, with just under seven minutes left. The Wolverines jumped back in front with another rushing touchdown, 28-23, with 2½ minutes remaining. Kelly converted on a fourth down to set up the 44-yard touchdown by Chambers that put Dana Hills up, 29-28, with 39 seconds left. Aliso Niguel went 4-and-out on its final possession to give the Dolphins one of their biggest wins in the past seven seasons. While the offensive numbers for Kelly and Chambers jump off the page, it took a while for the Dolphins offense to get going, and that’s where the impressive defensive performance held up for Dana Hills. Dana Hills opened the scoring with a 53-yard TD pass from Kelly to Chambers, but despite three first-quarter turnovers by Aliso Niguel, that was the only score Dana Hills could muster in the opening frame. Aliso Niguel tied the game, 7-7, with under five minutes left in the first quarter.
Kelly hit Chambers again in the second quarter on a 47-yard touchdown pass for a 13-7 lead the Dolphins took into halftime. Senior kicker Kian Afrookhteh hit a 33-yard field goal in the third quarter for a 16-7 lead. WINS FOR HENNEY ON AND OFF FIELD Last week was a big one for Dana Hills head coach Tony Henney, as his wife, Tess, delivered the couple’s first child on Thursday, Sept. 9. Henney announced the arrival his son, Lucas Alexander Henney, on social media on Friday, Sept. 10. To care for his wife in the lead-up to the birth, Henney missed the entire week of practice for the Dolphins, but the coach was able to helm the Dolphins on Friday night, arriving at Aliso Niguel High School just before kickoff. Henney is in his first season coaching at Dana Hills and his 13th as a head coach. ROAD WARRIORS Dana Hills’ win over Aliso Niguel was Page 10
the first of four consecutive road contests for the Dolphins. Dana Hills will travel to University High School in Irvine twice in the next two weeks to take on Woodbridge on Friday, Sept. 17, and University on Sept. 24. The Dolphins will then play Beckman at Tustin High School on Oct. 1 before hosting Northwood on Oct. 8. Dana Hills has a successful history against Friday’s opponent, Woodbridge. The Dolphins dominated the Warriors last season, 34-7, before Woodbridge canceled the rest of its schedule due to injuries and number of available players on the roster. Before that game in March, Dana Hills hadn’t played Woodbridge since 2005, when Dana Hills scored the second of two straight wins over the Warriors, 31-6. Woodbridge is struggling again this season, with losses to Portola (35-9), Esperanza (35-0) and Laguna Beach (26-19). The Warriors’ only win came against Buena Park (14-0), which is 0-4 this season with a -108 point differential. Woodbridge has been outscored in its losses by 68 points. DP danapointtimes.com

MOORE, MEDINA WIN 2021 WORLD TITLES AT PUMPING LOWERS Epic Performances and Surf Make Inaugural Rip Curl WSL Finals an Overwhelming Success BY JAKE HOWARD, DANA POINT TIMES
I
n what might have been the most intense, pressure-filled day of competition to ever go down at Lower Trestles, Hawaii’s Carissa Moore and Brazil’s Gabriel Medina captured the inaugural Rip Curl WSL Finals to claim the 2021 women’s and men’s world titles. For Moore, the victory caps off one of the most brilliant competitive seasons in surf history. After dominating the WSL’s Championship Tour all season, Moore also became surfing’s first Olympic gold medalist earlier in the summer. Coming in to the Rip Curl WSL Finals as the No. 1 seed, she put a lifetime of competing at Lowers to good use, as she beat Brazil’s Tatiana Weston-Webb in the final to claim her fifth world title. The accomplishment puts her only two titles away from the women’s record of seven, shared by Australians Layne Beachley and Stephanie Gilmore. “It was a long year, and it was a very long day,” said Moore afterward. “Today didn’t start as I expected; I had to fight my way back, so it made it a bit sweeter to win. I was about to have a meltdown after the first heat. I tried my best, surfed from my heart, and it worked out. I’ve never been in the water when winning a world title, so this is extra special. I couldn’t ask for anything more!” Much like Moore, Medina was dominant all season. Perhaps the most clutch surfer on the Championship Tour today, even the pressure of finals day didn’t rattle him, as he carved and flew to his third world title. For the victory, Medina joins legends Tom Curren, Andy Irons and Mick Fanning with three world titles. The only surfers with more are Mark Richards, who won four titles in the late ’70s and early ’80s, and Kelly Slater, who holds the overall record with 11 world titles.

“This was my biggest goal in surfing,” said Medina. “It’s not every day you accomplish your dream. This is a special day for me; it’s a day I’ll remember forever and tell my kids about. This year was very intense and mentally challenging, I had to work hard, have patience, and let my surf talk. I had to surf a lot to win this title!” In what’s been dubbed by surf media as “the Brazilian Storm,” Medina faced local San Clemente resident Filipe Toledo in the final. Originally hailing from Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, Toledo and his family have lived in town for a number of years, and he and his younger brother are regular fixtures in the local lineups when they’re in town. “I’ve been really working on the process of waiting for the perfect wave,” Toledo explained after the final. “I’ve been trying to be patient, choose right, and have the confidence to go for it.” With 6- to 8-foot surf pulsing all day, pristine, glassy conditions and a packed beach of rabid surf fans, this new WSL Finals format offered a full day of high-performance surfing, high drama, and in the end, to see the world champs crowned in San Clemente will undoubtedly inspire the next generation of local kids to shoot for the stars. And while the WSL’s Championship Tour season has wrapped up, there’s still plenty of surf action coming up. This weekend, the Supergirl Pro lands in Oceanside. And next week, the U.S. Open kicks off in Huntington Beach. Jake Howard is local surfer and freelance writer who lives in San Clemente. A former editor at Surfer Magazine, The Surfer’s Journal and ESPN, today he writes for a number of publications, including Picket Fence Media, Surfline and the World Surf League. He also works with philanthropic organizations such as the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center and the Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation. DP
SURF FORECAST Water Temperature: 63-65 Degrees F Water Visibility and Conditions: San Clemente: 2-3 Catalina: 20-30’ Outlook: Friday’s surf drops to waist-head high, (35’) as the South/southwest swell fades. Waves continue to wind down over the weekend, for waist to chest high surf, (34’), by Sunday. Friday and the weekend have light/variable winds in the early mornings, followed by light+/moderate afternoon onshores.
