SET IN STONE A word from the publisher

There’s an old saying that goes like this: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” I couldn’t agree more. The last two years have tested us all in ways we never thought possible, but guess what? We’re still standing. The resiliency of our community is truly amazing. We’ve endured closures and mandates of every kind. We’ve dealt with a political landscape the likes no one has ever seen before, but we’ve also seen our community come together in ways that make me proud to call Oceanside my home.

The New Year is here, and I say we make it the best one ever. Let’s choose to focus on togetherness, as opposed to division. That’s what this city has always been built on—pride for our community, and the people we share it with. We can choose how we live. Let’s get back to kindness and compassion. We need to welcome opposing thoughts with an open mind, and a positive response. We’re all different, yet the same—we just want to be heard, and our words to be respected. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

We here at The Osider Magazine promise to live by these words with each and every issue we produce. We promise to give you great features, showcase amazing people, places, and things through our photography and writing with this in mind.

We hope you enjoy the magazine and practice that same respect and positivity in your daily interactions, too.

Cheers to 2022—the best year ever.

Oceanside's Finest BILL CURTIS

WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER

Undoubtedly, the 3.7 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline is Oceanside’s greatest natural resource and attraction. The day-to-day operations of protecting the coast and ocean waterways from the harbor entrance to the south beaches is in good hands with Oceanside Lifeguard Captain Bill Curtis. As both a profession and a passion, his love for Oceanside and its beaches is more than just a job—it’s Bill’s legacy.

The legacy began with his grandfather, Howard Richardson, who was the first elected Oceanside mayor in 1968. Second-generation, his father Jon Curtis was captain of Harbor Police, and his father’s twin brother Joe Curtis (Bill’s uncle) was an Oceanside firefighter. Bill was born and raised in Oceanside, and he attended Ditmar Elementary, Jefferson Middle School, and was one of the first graduating classes from Oceanside High School East, which is now present-day El Camino High School.

“We could choose which high school to attend, and I chose El Camino because it was brand new,” he remembered fondly. Shortly after, Bill started swimming at Brooks Street Pool, where he began competitive swimming with the newly-created Oceanside Swim Club.

After high school, he went on to Palomar with a full-ride scholarship, and was a three-time All-American swimmer.

After college, Bill went to work with the family

construction business, Richardson Bros., but ultimately, he found his way to the beaches he loved and was hired as a seasonal lifeguard in 1991. He worked his way up the ranks, and was promoted to Lifeguard Captain in 2008. A third generation Osider, Bill raised four kids in Oceanside with his wife, Whitney, creating fourth generation Osiders, and with two grandkids—it’s now a family of fifth generation Osiders.

As Lifeguard Captain, there’s less beach time, and more administration, especially charged with 96 employees. “It’s family down here. You

“We’re unique because our program utilizes the skills of our on duty lifeguards. They help the local kids with junior lifeguards, and go back to the beach to guard the crowds of beachgoers” truly become invested. I’ve watched our young lifeguards become doctors, Navy Seals, Coast Guard, and nurses. That’s what makes me happiest—watching all the kids grow up,” explained Bill. The day-to-day operations keep his lifeguards working seven days per week, protecting beachgoers of varying ocean-savvy skill levels.

12

In 2020, it’s estimated that there were 4.1 million visitors to Oceanside beaches with 1,600 logged rescues. Lifeguard duties include swimmer/surfer rescue, boat rescues, underwater search and rescue, missing persons, and even ha ndle s o m e aspe cts of law enfo rce m ent through citations and arrests. Oceanside lifeguards oversee organized events that include beloved events like the Tiki Swim, Labor Day Pier Swim, IronMan Triathlon, even television shows like Animal Kingdom that utilized The Strand for filming!

Oceanside Junior Lifeguards is one of Bill’s favorite and most successful programs that serves over 600 local youth each summer. “We’re unique because our program utilizes the skills of our on duty lifeguards. They help the local kids with junior lifeguards, and go back to the beach to guard the crowds of beachgoers.”

Bill’s love for Oceanside emanates as he tells his stories of growing up on the beaches, raising his kids, and now, with his dream job of protecting the public and working at the beach.

As a pleasant reminder that his family is deeply ingrained in Oceanside culture, Curtis Landing at Oceanside Harbor is memorialized for his father, and uncles Jon W. Curtis and Joe V. Curtis.

Thank you, Bill, for protecting Oceanside’s beaches for over 3 0 years, and ser ving as Oceanside’s Finest!

THE OSIDER JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

PREVIOUSLY ON: A New Take on Sustainable, Repurposed Furniture, and Home Decor As our Oceanside business community continues to grow leaps and bounds, we’ve seen more creativity in the implementation of creative and sustainable strategies to promote economic development and preserve natural resources.

One business in particular that’s taken the “Reuse Scene” by storm is Previously On, located at 105 S Coast Highway.

Have you ever turned on your favorite sitcom and imagined wearing that style piece from the show’s wardrobe, or having that lush, eye-popping couch in your living room that was once on a movie

set? Lucky for you, owning your own piece of Hollywood is much more tangible than you think.

“Not only do you get to see unique items that were on stage, you can take them home! About 90% of our store front inventory is screen used items. What better way to promote sustainability while having a part of Hollywood?” explained Nicholas Arellano, the owner and founder of Previously On. As a transplant from Los Angeles, Nicholas and his family fell in love with Oceanside, and found a need for a specialty curated furniture and 14

home decor store that focused on re-purposing.

Being an Interior Designer by trade and having earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Design with an emphasis in green design and sustainability, Nicholas knew he wanted to maintain this concept for Previously On. After speaking with local residents, he felt that “Oceanside seemed to have the most promising potential,” including the Cit y of Oceanside’s environmental services and programs.

Previously On is the epitome of sustainability “making used and unused accessible to the public,” and helping to “get rid of the stigma of used items,”

according to Nicholas. And it doesn’t stop there.

He designed the store keeping sustainability in mind—everything from the appliances, store displays, lighting, and electronics. The store also makes strides towards eco-friendly alternatives and zero waste services by reusing packaging, recycling all cardboard, using LED lighting, and of course, providing sustainable fashion.

Secondhand sustainable fashion is a great way to reduce, reuse, and recycle. This effort generates less waste and is a meaningful feature and achievable strategy for the community. The

amount of waste that goes into manufacturing is staggering, but selling and buying sustainable fashion and furnishing is making a change.

“This stuff gets a second life and maybe a third or fourth, and because it already had a life, it also has a story, which is the bonus,” reminded Nicholas.

Guests will also find unique, one-of-a-kind items from the entertainment industry. “People also love the idea that it’s “screen used” and recycled, but yet current. The community loves this!”

The City of Oceanside continues to lead zero wa s te i ni t iat i ve s , a n d p ro m o te l o n g - te r m 15

sustainability, by offering environmental programs and services focused on these efforts. Previously On’s concept paired with the City of Oceanside’s committed leadership in sustainability efforts makes it a win-win for all, and another great step in the right direction for our community.

Hidden Gems THE OSIDER JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

Sugar Magnolia Pie

GIANNI’S PIZZA WORDS: JAMEY STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

Calling all vegans—this is the hidden gem you’ve been searching for. Although Gianni’s Pizza makes delicious food for all walks of life, they specialize in vegan fair that’ll knock your socks right off. Owner Glen Quaranta has been utilizing his Italian roots to create top-notch pizza, sandos, and salads in this very location since 1993.

From the outside, Gianni’s looks like your average strip mall pizza spot, but as soon as you walk in the door, you’ll be greeted by what he calls “funky tracks” playing in the background. His friendly staff will be there to greet you with a big smile, and one of their many craft beer options available to wet your whistle.

From there, you can take a stroll through a menu that boasts all of his funky creations that are as eclectic as the movie and concert posters that decorate the walls—with menu items such

as the Sugar Magnolia Pie, Penelope Pepperoni, and, of course my personal favorite, and the Chicken Pickle Sandwich, just to name a few. All are made with homemade vegan bread and dough, San Marzano tomatoes, organic veggies, and amazingly tasty meat substitutes. I’m a meat eater, so trust me when I tell you that when I eat here, I always go with the vegan options.

Glen’s frenetic energy and creativity shine brightly throughout all his tasty creations. The way he matches ingredients that the average person might not think would work well together is truly amazing, and it always comes together perfectly. I know that Gianni’s is a little off the beaten path from downtown Oceanside, but next time you want to try out something fresh and different—go see Glen. I promise you’ll love it as much as all his faithful patrons do.

HOW TO MAKE

MINT CHOCOLATE FRENCH MACARONS With Co-Owner Stevie Rojano from Oside Bakery “I picked this recipe to share with the community because French Macarons were one of the first things I learned to bake. Many people enjoy them yet few have seen the process that goes into making them.

I’m hoping people find this helpful and can find the same satisfaction I did when learning to create one of the tougher French-inspired bakery items”

BIG FAT DIRTY “OCEA” WORDS: ERIC KLIER PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER

Oceanside has amazing characters. Artist “Ocea” definitely fits in this category. The alleys have been his stomping grounds, and growing up here for over 30 years, Ocea witnessed all types of different cultures that helped him form his own unique style of art by taking pieces of graffiti and hot rod art and putting in his own flair and technique on his designs. As a kid seeing lowriders, surfers, and skaters all day and the different music and clothes they wore, he was influenced by those colors and patterns that’d shape his art in the future.

Ocea’s art is located in many local establishments like bars and small businesses. He’s made lots of t-shirt designs for these businesses, and also for charities and fundraisers. He also does pin striping for cars, custom helmets, and bikes, along with surfboards, guitars, and pretty much anything he can get his hands on. The saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is very apparent when you walk into his garage studio that’s packed with collectibles like records, bikes, and furniture.

A lot of these items are “alley treasures”—things that have been found or thrown out by others.

Ocea refurbishes and upcycles them into cool pieces of art. With never-ending resources and his skillful eye, he can pretty much turn anything into a piece of art.

Ocea aka “Big Fat Dirty” is an Oceanside staple with his unique eye and artistic attitude that challenge the norms and adds to what makes our city unique. In his own words, “I’ve been drawing my entire life and I’m not the only artist in the world, but I’m the only me.” You can usually find him in South Oceanside customizing helmets for his two sons, or spending time with family and friends. Having local artists like Ocea is why Oceanside is such a great place to live!

SCI-FI & SURREALISM THE ART OF DANA TRIPPE WORDS: SHELBY ROWE PHOTOS: DANA TRIPPE

If you don’t know Dana, then you’ll most likely know her work. Whether that’s her co-owned Oceanside business, Steel Mill Coffee, her photos on your favorite artists’ album cover, or the recent Instagram photo shoot of your favorite celebrity that you were totally fan-girling over—Dana Trippe seems to have a hand in practically every medium across pop culture from fashion to music to cannabis to skateboarding.

Her versatility is just the beginning. Her style—finding a home in distortion and cozying up next to the science fiction, 70s psychedelic obsession of her teens—catches the eye with neck-tilting angles, depth-deceiving stretched out hands, scaling playfulness with color, and nostalgic-inducing edits. She strives to push her photos to the edge, and she’s definitely made it there.

“I see my work as one thing, and I’m constantly evolving and changing.

So, my favorite projects are my first ones because that was the start of who I became to be, and then the ones I’ve just recently done—the contrast is so different,” said Trippe.

Different is an understatement. Dana’s most recent projects include directing Willow Smith’s “Transparent Soul” music video with Travis Barker

Demi Lovato 24

Kendall Jenner

Tame Impala

Jesse Jo Stark

Willow Smith

Kristen Bell

Dana Trippe

casually on drums and Avril Lavigne on guitar (yes, your literal teenage dream). Her other recent photo shoot with Kendall Jenner dressed with ceiling-high blonde hair as “Martian Girl” in Mars Attacks! and painted blue as Corpse Bride sparked even more notoriety.

“I think the most important thing is to show someone in a light they’ve never been shown.

That’s why the Willow thing was so crazy because hers was a coming-of-age album, and I was there for the perfect moment,” said Trippe.

The rest of Dana’s portfolio is just as impressive, working with undeniably talented musicians,

including—but definitely not limited to—Demi Lavato, Haim, Kesha, Denzel Curry, and Kali Uchis. Her artistic approach has caught the eye of celebrities like Kristen Bell for Refinery 29, Kristan Slate for Entertainment Weekly, and Keke Palmer for Playboy. She’s worked with brands like RVCA, I. AM. GIA, Vivienne Westwood, and Vans.

While mostly known for her photography, Dana’s artistic approach involves more than being the eye behind the lens.

She leads the creative conception with her clients, handles business as her own manager, builds and designs the sets, shoots photos—or video, which is another realm she’s recently tapped into—then edits endlessly. The bread and butter of her work happen in Photoshop far after she’s left the set.

“Photoshop is a huge part of it. If you put enough time into it, you can make anything look exactly how you want,” Trippe said. “I want to get into more of rendering because that’s where I feel like the world is going, but still trying to mesh the vintage style because I feel like, no matter what, my photos look somewhat vintage because that’s why I started it—70s psychedelic and all that was so cool to me.”

Dana’s impressive editing skills aren’t the only differentiator of her work.

She often adds an extra element with set design, whether it’s a prop, a backdrop, or recreating 25

an entire doctor’s office in her house with full-on hand-painted checkerboard tile flooring (yes, she’s been there, done that)—all of which blooms from her deep-seeded love for sci-fi movies.

“Set design is such a big love. It’s from all those 70s sci-fi movies that I watched as a kid.

They’re so cool because before all of the CGI, they were hand-making everything,” said Dana.

“I definitely nerd out harder on set design than I do on photos.”

It ’s clear that Dana’s work is a direct representation of herself. Her unique style is derived from everything she’s grown up loving: music, movies, science fiction, the 70s psychedelic era, anything nostalgically vintage, old cars, and long desert highways. She’s paved her own road, putting her soul and every ounce of love into her work along the way.

“I have high expectations. People think a photographer goes into a scene and gets the photo and they’re done, but that’s not enough for me and it never will be,” she said. “I’m obsessed with so many different realms within the world that if I’m not doing all of them then it’s hard for me to feel like an all-encompassing artist.”

Dana’s drive to be an all-encompassing artist shows her dedication to her craft. She’s humble, but ambitious as hell. She’s a jack-of-all-trades and—contrary to the infamous saying—a master of pretty much all of them. No wonder she’s busier than ever before.

“I’m always working—I love it. When your love for it is intertwined with work, it’s obviously the best—everyone wants that. That’s what you’ve been told by literally everyone—find what you love, and do it for work.”

Things You Didn’t Know About

Oceanside in the 1930s WORDS: KRISTI HAWTHORNE PHOTOS COURTESY OF OCEANSIDE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

28

While the previous decade had brought growth and prosperity to Oceanside, the 1930s— ushered in by the stock market crash of 1929—brought unemployment and foreclosures. At first, many local business and civic leaders remained hopeful, as it was first believed that the downturn was temporary, but the situation worsened with a terrible drought impacting a half million farms in the United States. Many fled west to California hoping to find work.

The First National Bank of Oceanside closed in 1933.

29

St. Malo

New First Street Post Office, 1936.

Margo Theater, 1955

3.

City Hall and Public Library 704 Third Street, 1930s.

1.

In 1931, many Oceanside residents were unemployed, and the Oceanside city council attempted to alleviate the situation by allocating $500 for day laborers—paying $2 a day on a sixday-a-week schedule. The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce and Civic Relief committee oversaw the hiring of the day laborers, and the program was funded from the City’s general revenue fund.

Preference was given to “men with families and to residents.” Laborers were “put to work clearing and improving streets, alleys and sidewalks,” while others were employed by the water department.

2.

Any sense of hope for recovery was lost when on February 14, 1933, the headline of the Oceanside Blade Tribune read: “Doors of First National Banks of Oceanside and Carlsbad Closed.” The article went on to report “Residents

of Oceanside and Carlsbad were shocked this morning by the announcement that the First National Bank of Oceanside and its affiliated bank, the first National of Carlsbad, had closed its doors.”

Lionel Van Deerlin remembered in an interview: “The bank in which my father worked, the First National Bank, closed its doors, ‘failed’ that is, two weeks before Franklin Roosevelt took office. As you are obviously too young to remember, but some would, the day after Roosevelt took office, the first thing he did was close every bank in the country.

He didn’t want any more failures coming in and leaving people penniless. He found a way to save the banks, but it wasn’t in time to save the Oceanside bank. So, for my family, the Depression was a very real thing for two or three years. My father being in his 50s with some 15 million in the country out of work, older men were not the first to be hired.”

30

In stark contrast of the economic downturn in 1934, Pasadena resident Kenyon A. Keith began developing his oceanfront property. Twelve homes were built in what would become an exclusive enclave in South Oceanside at the end of Pacific Street. Well-to-do property owners largely from Pasadena used St. Malo for vacation and summer homes. Early film director Jason S. Joy’s home was identified as “La Garde Joyeuse,” and included an outdoor bowling alley and volleyball court. Author Ben Hecht was another resident, as well as Frank Butler, who co-wrote Going My Way.

In January of 1934, plans began for a new city hall building. Councilman Charles W. Hoegerman had prepared preliminary plans and sketches for an addition to the civic center, which comprised the fire and police station. Architect Irving Gill changed and revised these original sketches to conform to earthquake standards. The city hall was built without a bond issue, and built by day labor for a cost of around $9,000. It was much needed

In January of 1936, Oceanside dedicated a new post office building, located on First Street (Seagaze). Construction began in 1935, and was financed by the W.P.A. and built by day laborers. This was the first permanent post office in Oceanside, and “marked a milestone in the progress of the community.” Stuart Holmes sculpted the hand-carved coat of arms above the door, and renowned artist Elise Seeds painted the beautiful mural inside the lobby.

contract was awarded to local builder Charles Rieke. The Oceanside Hospital was made possible through the efforts and foresight of a registered nurse, Golda Lester, who came to Oceanside in the early 1930s and started a small hospital on North Freeman Street. In 1936, she purchased three lots at Fifth and Horne Streets with the intention of building a larger hospital. Lester was able to accomplish her goal by gaining support of area doctors, and the community who helped with donated funds.

Oceanside’s first major construction project since the Depression was the Margo Theater, built in 1936 at 217 North Hill (Coast Highway). The theater was to be originally named for the Rancho Santa Margarita, but the name was too long for the marquee, so it was simply shortened to Margo. In the 1950s, the name of the theater was changed to the Towne Theater, and is now the home of Sunshine Brooks Theater.

7.

Another sign of growth was the new Oceanside Blade-Tribune building, which was formally opened on November 24, 1936. The $10,000 building designed by Irving Gill was a beautiful addition to downtown Oceanside. President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a telegram message to the newspaper owners Paul and Harold Beck with words of encouragement: “I am glad to learn that the Daily Blade-Tribune and the weekly Oceanside News have shared in the return of prosperity as evidenced in your acquisition of a new building.

Please accept my hearty congratulations and extend to all of your readers my hearty felicitations.”

As Oceanside began to rebound from the Depression, new construction in 1937 was

nearly three times as great as the previous year, and building permits for December of that year promised that 1938 would begin with a building boom. The headline in the January 6, 1938 Oceanside Blade Tribune read “Around $85,000 In New Building Under Way Here.” Projects included construction of a new wing at the Oceanside-Carlsbad High School, several new houses and two “cottage courts” being erected, improvements to the Oceanside Beach (formerly the El San Luis Rey), and additions to the lumberyard.

Oceanside was long overdue for a “modern” hospital, and construction work on a new $16,000 building began in February of 1938. The 31

In 1939, the City began plans for a large park on Mission Road, just east of Brooks Street. Recreation Park was another WPA-funded project built by local labor. The project employed 51 men for six months. A large adobe wall enclosed this 28-acre park. It included ball fields, a racetrack, bleachers, and playground areas. It was dedicated the following year in 1940. Little did anyone know the immense change the war years would soon bring to Oceanside.

Oceanside Unfiltered is a street photography exhibition showcasing local photographers.

The selected photos showcase a candid and truly unfiltered view of Oceanside, focusing on places and individuals that often go unnoticed.

The photographers featured come from various walks of life and have all called Oceanside home at one time or another.

The images chosen are not your standard pier and sunset photos— they’re gritty and reflect a side of Oceanside that tourists don’t usually see.

They evoke emotion and may just surprise you.

Join us for the opening celebration at OMA on Saturday, February 12th at 5-7pm. The exhibition at Oceanside Museum of Art runs from February 12th - May 29th, 2022.

A Brief History of Wine

in San Diego County WORDS: WILL “THE WINE GUY” BURTNER PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

36

San Diego County was the first place where wine grapes (Vitis Vinifera from Europe) were grown in California. When the Spanish made their way up the coast of what we now call California, they planted their first vineyard at Mission San Diego de Alcala, which quickly built a reputation for very good quality wine because of the favorable growing conditions.

Wine from here was most likely used for communion at the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. Fast forward about 70 years to the end of the Civil War, and European immigrants flocked to San Diego County with grape vine

clippings from their country of origin to capitalize on this fast growing industry. Prohibition and World War II eventually wiped the industry out in San Diego, and vintners moved north to the vast wine growing land in Northern California.

That is until the 1990s when wine had a rebirth in our county. Fires wiped out other crops that required large amounts of water, and those crops were replaced with grapevines— only requiring about three percent of the water that an avocado tree needs. An interesting side note: In most of Europe, it’s forbidden to irrigate grapevines.

We now have Vitis Vinifera vines growing from the border of Mexico, throughout the

Highland Valley, Ramona, Escondido, Fallbrook, and our backyards here in Oceanside. These wineries have made huge strides in quality over the last decade and continue to improve.

While wineries make some of their wine from grapes they grow on their own property (estate wines), most—if not all—of their wine is made from grapes from all over California that are shipped in every year.

There are now over 100 wineries in San Diego County, and many more places to enjoy your favorite variety from anywhere in the world.

Here are a few spots to check out if you’re looking for a good glass of wine in Oceanside:

BRIXTON OCEANSIDE WORDS: ALICIA STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of the Brixton clothing company.

Its logo can be seen being worn all across the globe, as well as all over TV, movies, and social media. But did you know that Brixton was started right here in Oceanside in its founder, David Stoddard’s garage?

Brixton began in 2004 out of a love for vintage style headwear, like an item you might find in the back of your Grandpa’s closet. The company went on and expanded to include men and women’s clothing and accessories, and has collaborated with various well-known lifestyle and music brands throughout the years.

After outgrowing warehouse spaces four times while becoming one of the most internationally known clothing brand names, Brixton has finally returned to it’s geographical roots and has opened a storefront here at home. This new store will join five other locations in Sydney, Australia and Tokyo, Japan, as well as three others in

California (Encinitas, Long Beach, and Ontario).

Heading up the new brick-and-mortar addition is current CEO Raphael Peck, and VP of Brand Marketing Dav Mattucci. Raph Peck said of the shop’s inception, “Our process began in early 2021, and we officially opened September 2021.

We saw the development of hotels and restaurants around the pier, and then considered the proximity of residential housing and parking. After searching for the perfect location, we decided on the partnership with The Tremont Collective.”

The Tremont Collective is a converted warehouse space that’s made up of nine businesses, whose combined goal is to offer a unique experience where customers can meet up with friends and family to eat, drink, shop, exercise, and relax. The companies housed there are Brixton, Communal Coffee, Bottlecraft (beverages), Al Fresko (charcuterie), Stab (magazine/media), Atacama Surf Shop, Verve Studios (fitness), and Shootz (poke/tacos).

“Our Oceanside roots continue to inspire us, 46

and opening a unique retail experience in our hometown is our ultimate thank you for the continued loyalty to our brand. We’re looking to make this store special versus other locations to connect more deeply with Osiders,” Raph added. “We’ve considered the options locals have to spend their time on any given weekend, and we’ll be curating a Brixton patio behind the store for some postpurchase relaxation. The collective is a clear opportunity where rising tides raise all ships. We want this to be a true community destination.”

10TH PLANET OCEANSIDE JIU JITSU & TRAINING CENTER WORDS: JAMEY STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

I first heard about 10th Planet through my son Braden. He’s been into MMA for the last few years, and started training there about a year and half ago.

He’d been training Jiu Jitsu in a more traditional program before that. He loved the other gym, but 10th Planet offered No-Gi training, along with Mui Tai, and a host of other disciplines. Watching him come home after every session with new energy, and a positive outlook was truly inspiring.

10th planet was founded by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu legend Eddie Bravo. He opened to teach his own version of the discipline he’d developed after becoming a black belt in the 1970s. Fast forward to current times and Oceanside resident Geovanny Martinez. Most people know him as “Freakazoid”— an established B-Boy in the Dance world. As a young buck, he spent his early days learning B-boy and other forms of dance at the Junior Seau Community Center. Geo eventually became a dance teacher, which led him to Jiu Jitsu where he studied under Eddie Bravo, and eventually became a second-degree black belt and champion in the No-Gi 145-pound weight class.

With his success on the mat, the next step was to begin teaching his craft. Along with his brother Richard Martinez, who also practices under Eddie, they were blessed with running the SD chapter of 10th Planet. Richard runs the SD location, and Geo handles Oceanside. It was an easy decision for Geo to open in his hometown.

Here he can give back to the youth by providing the same safe and positive environment that he had within the community center. Speaking with him, you can feel his passion and it shines when watching him teach. The gym itself is a true extension of his energy.

Growing up in a single parent household, Geo realized how important having a safe place to learn was crucial to his growth. He wants to pay that forward with his gym. He even offers a “no charge” Sunday class for those are financially strapped for cash, and he also has plans to include dance classes in the near future. Nice work, Geo. We can’t wait to see the next young Freakazoid to come out of 10th Planet Oceanside.

SHOOTZ FISH X BEER WORDS: JAMEY STONE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

If you live in Southern California, it’s safe to say that you have eaten the classic Baja fish taco more than once or twice. If you’re from Hawaii, it’s also safe to say that you’ve eaten your share of fresh Poke bowls. Now just imagine what happens when take these two favorites and fuse the flavors together. You end up with something so fresh and tasty that it could only be born right here in Oceanside.

Located in the new Tremont Collective building tucked inside Bottlecraft sits the small-but-flavorpacked Shootz Fish X Beer. The brainchild of pro surfer Cheyne Magnusson and CLTVT owner Chris Slowy came together to create something very unique to bring our little surf town. After all, they did meet while surfing at Buccaneer Beach.

Between waves, they laid the foundation for their new endeavor, and along with Wrench & Rodent founder Chef Davin Waite, they’ve created a

mash-up of Mexican and Hawaiian flavors that’ll take your taste buds to new heights.

Everything from the tacos to the Poke bowls have their own spin on the classics, and pair well with their crisp Japanese lager. One of my favorites are the fish wings, slathered with house made gochujang sauce over fish collar leftover from the other menu items. Everything here is line caught and responsibly sourced. Nothing goes to waste, which has always been the way Davin does things.

Whether you order the Pescaderos Taco or Cheyne’s OG Poke, you can rest assured that everything in the recipe is made with this in mind.

When you have a connection to the ocean the way this surf-based company does it shows, and that’s’ why local pro surfers like Dylan Graves, Tex Mitchell, and Duran Barr are so proud to be a part of the Shootz team. See you there!

VALLE GUADALUPE VALLEY KITCHEN WORDS: KATIE LALICATA PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

Rebels—rough around the edges—are not easily understood. Yes, yes, and yes. And if that means blazing trails and living one’s own authentic truth; then begins the introduction of chef, creator, and artist of culinary delights, Roberto Alcocer, director of operations of Valle and executive chef. “The whole enchilada,” remarked Alcocer.

“Why? Because I wanted to open a restaurant in another country—I like a challenge, and why not?

To consult is just a list of recipes and ingredients, and that’s it. There’s no soul—no magic!”

Charisma, passion, dedication, and skill— poised and bold yet humble, Roberto’s attitude towards excellence is just one of many remarkable qualities that sets him apart from the rest. Valle is rustic in its roots and humble in its demeanor.

Roberto, and subsequently Valle, are both products of our neighboring country and cities in Baja California, Mexico.

An entrepreneur, a man on a mission marching to the beat of his own drum, Chef Alcocer has known he wanted to be a chef since he was twelve years old. His devotion and conviction to create a culinary experience is unmistakable. There’s no stopping the fire in his bones to take risks, push limits, and this is where genius is born. No growth comes from the comfort zone, and Roberto

is a glowing example of what happens when you step beyond the realms of familiarity.

Fresh out of high school, finding scholarships from the Rotary Club, he went to culinary school in France for a year where he studied techniques and French cuisine. He’s since worked in Spain, Belgium, France, England, and has also worked as a corporate chef in San Diego. After years of honing his skills, Alcocer returned home to his native Baja where he began forging relationships within the wine country in a region called Valle de Guadalupe.

Nine years ago, his first restaurant Malva was born. Drawing from all aspects and experiences of his life; his love of art, his skills acquired from abroad, the diverse flavors of all Mexico, Roberto and his colleagues are creating a style of cuisine that they call “Valle.” Farm-to-table, lots of fire and smoke, rustic ingredients, and seafood elevated to a new era. He’s a pioneer in his own right.

Tapping deep into his vision that cooking is as an opportunity for creativity and expression; everything Roberto creates is a presentation of a masterpiece. Valle is an extension of that.

Acknowledging his own roots, and the authenticity of the beach town he’s in—flip-flops and beach vibes are 100-percent welcome. The 56

Chef, creator, and artist of culinary delights, Roberto Alcocer.

only requirement he asks is to have an open mind.

“Take the rollercoaster” Roberto encouraged, “It’s okay if you don’t understand. Come and give it a try, and let us share what our pre-fixed menu is about. I need to give you four courses, so you can have the whole experience—the whole trip.

I’m trying to create a place that Oceanside can feel proud of.”

Different is good—perhaps it's a reflection of this community itself. Alcocer is not here to play safe. This subtle grandeur of Roberto and his creation Valle, are a complete food and wine exploration. They’re the perfect compliment to a town that proudly boasts walking on the wild side—brazen and bold—creative and inspiring, and bravely carving its own magnificent way.
