Proclaiming District 2 as “absolutely the best in the city,” and with a nod to his family, staff and community volunteers, lifeguard turned legislator Ed Harris closed the book on his eight-month City Council term in his State of the District address Dec. 1. “The state of the district is strong,” said Harris before an audience at Dana Middle School, noting that “without my staff, I wouldn’t have been able to serve you.” The outgoing councilman pointed out that his office had an “all-handson-deck approach” to problem solving, noting that community volunteers “helped make their neighborhood better. “It’s humbling to have worked with you,” said Harris, who will return to lifeguarding after the holiday break.

City charts course for future water reclamation independence The San Diego City Council unanimously endorsed a water recycling program recently, a plan backed by a broad coalition of environmental and business groups that seeks to provide one-third of San Diego’s potable water by 2035, reducing reliance on costly imported water. Mayor Kevin Faulconer urged the City Council to support renewed water reuse efforts aimed at “gaining water independence and the ability to control our own water supply for the very first time.” The mayor described cultivating alternative local water supplies as
“vitally important to our economy and maintaining our quality of life.” Lauding the city’s Pure Water Project as “an investment in our future,” Faulconer thanked environmental, business and community leaders for coming together to “create environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions to our water challenges.” The Pure Water San Diego program is designed to purify enough wastewater to provide one-third of San Diego’s water supply after all three phases are fully operational in SEE WATER, Page 5

Plan group OKs Foothill slowdown as Harris says farewell
CONT. FROM PG. 1
By DAVE SCHWAB Outgoing District 2 Councilmember Ed Harris addressed Pacific Beach planners, who also unanimously endorsed “downshifting” the speed limit from 30 to 25 miles an hour on Foothill Boulevard. Those were the highlights of Pacific Beach Planning Group’s last meeting of the year, held Dec. 2. A group of Foothill residents petitioned the group to support their drive to reduce the posted speed in their neighborhood along the windy stretch of Foothill from 30 miles an hour back down to 25. Noting the speed was posted at 25 for some 20 years, neighbors said
they noted a dramatic increase in the number of accidents — and overall traffic speed — since the recent increase in the speed limit went into effect. On Dec. 2, neighbor Jeffrey Rosan noted the average speed on Foothill has been determined to be 33.4 miles an hour. “That’s why they raised it (from 25) to 30. . ., to make it (speed) enforceable so it wouldn’t be considered a speed trap,” said group Traffic & Parking Subcommittee chair Michael Beltran. State law requires that the speed limit of a roadway be posted at or near the 85th percentile of its average speed in order for it to be enforce-

able by police radar. “It’s hard for residents to get out of their driveways,” said Rosan. “There have been a lot of accidents since the speed limit was increased, and the residents want this lowered,” agreed neighbor Tom Coat, adding, “Residents are scared of people speeding.” Group chair Brian Curry said decreasing the speed limit is just the start of what needs to be done to make Foothill safer. He noted the next step might be to introduce some kind of traffic-calming measures to force vehicles to slow down. “This is a massive issue,” Beltran noted. “These residents are fearful.” Exiting District 2 City Councilman Ed Harris, who’d been making the rounds of District 2 in his final days before turning over his seat to Lorie Zapf on Dec. 10, thanked planners for their support. He said it was fulfilling to represent everyday people “who go to work and pay their taxes.” Harris drew a round of applause and praise from Pacific Beach residents, who complimented his eightmonth administration for its commitment to serve and its transparency. Harris urged advisory board members and citizens to prioritize the community’s needs and get them to his successor, Zapf, noting, “If they’re (items) not in the councilmember’s budget, it’s not a priority. “Government works for the people,” concluded the lifeguard turned legislator, who iterated his view that the initial compromise agreement for a lease extension at Belmont Park, voted down by the Council, was “a bad deal.” Harris said the park’s lease extension as previously proposed didn’t hold developers’ feet to the fire in getting them to honor contract conditions. One of those conditions, he said, requires developers to pay not only for restoration and maintenance of the Plunge pool but also for the building in which it’s housed. “We’ve seen over the years that it was a giveaway,” Harris concluded of the existing Belmont Park lease.

Holidays Can Add to Stress for Family Caregivers Family members who care for cognitively impaired or disabled seniors may find the approaching holiday season to be more stressful than joyful. Caregivers may already feel overwhelmed by their day-to-day responsibilities and view holiday preparations as an additional source of stress. Family dynamics at the holidays can also be challenging. Primary caregivers may feel resentful toward visiting family members who they feel have not helped out enough. Family members returning home after a prolonged absence may be surprised and depressed by the decline in their senior loved one and feel that the caregiver hasn't communicated well enough leading to arguments and discord among family members. Planning ahead and modifying holiday routines to accommodate the needs of the caregiver and the person being cared for can foster peace and good will instead of anger and frustration. The Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org) suggests alerting family members and guests ahead of the visit to the current condition of a loved one with Alzheimer's or other Dementia. This can be achieved through a letter or email explaining what to expect and offering suggestions for effective communication while educating them about daily routines. Being prepared allows family and guests to arrive with realistic expectations and an understanding that changes in behavior and functioning are caused by the disease and not the person. It is also important for the primary caregiver to let family and friends know that their caregiving responsibilities may limit how much they can do in terms of holiday festivities. It is ok for caregivers to let others pitch in and only take on what they can reasonably manage. The Alzheimer's Association suggests involving the person with Dementia in holiday plans, building on old traditions and adjusting activities as needed to stick to the person's daily routine.

News Harris gives final take on ‘fair’ lease deal for Belmont Park By DAVE SCHWAB Outgoing District 2 City Councilmember Ed Harris reiterated his view that the Belmont Park lease extension, as proposed, is a bad deal and urged the City Council to do better by the city in its renegotiations with park developer Pacifica Enterprises next year. “I believe Pacifica has done a very good job of running the park,” said Harris. “But what we have to ensure is that we are maintaining a fair profit, getting fair-market value on our asset.” It’s all in the fine print of the current lease contract, according to Harris. “It took me reading the old contract four or five times until I saw that the lessee is required to spend 2.5 percent of its gross to ensure capital improvement, that’s $655,000 a year at today’s value,” he said. “That’s a lot of money.” Harris said the biggest issue he has with the proposed lease extension, which he noted is “very clear” in the contract, is that the leaseholder is “responsible for the repair and maintenance of the [Plunge] pool, as well as the building itself.” Harris maintains Pacifica’s feet should be held to the fire in terms of honoring the terms of the existing lease agreement, adding, “They’re making plenty of profit and should pay the full amount for the pool,” Harris said. The lifeguard turned legislator contended that beach residents did not initially support Belmont Park as a commercial enterprise, characterizing the deal struck between the city and developers to lease the park initially 26 years ago as “rushed.” He pointed out the beach community actually launched a successful petition drive garnering tens of thousands of signatures in opposi-

tion to the commercialization of the park before it was leased out in the mid-1980s. The amusement park, located in the heart of Mission Beach, features an athletic club, amusement rides, retail shops, restaurants, multiple bars, a miniature golf course and FlowRider and FlowBarrel wave machines. Pacifica has said it is not trying to reinvent the sevenacre, 88-year-old amusement complex but rather to “localize” it. There’s been speculation that a failure between Belmont Park’s operators and the city to iron out differences on an extension for Belmont could delay or even kill amusement-park expansion plans. The centerpiece of that expansion has been redevelopment of the former Canes Bar & Grill, which closed in 2009 after a fire, into three distinct restaurants on the Mission Beach boardwalk: the beach-themed Cannonball on the 6,000-square-foot rooftop, not yet open; Draft, a brew pub now open downstairs; and an Italian concept eatery. The complex’s other eateries include the WaveHouse Beach Club, North Shore Cafe, Belmonty’s Burgers and Plunge Pizzeria. Harris talked about what kind of a deal he’d like to see struck between the city and redevelopers of the park. The first thing that needs to be done, he said, is a full-on appraisal

of the amusement park property. “We need to have an outside, independent appraisal done by an independent budget analyst, a realestate expert, to make sure taxpayers get what they should get for the project,” Harris said. “Otherwise, we won’t really get a good deal.” Harris called on his City Council colleagues next year to “renegotiate a deal for the public that maximizes our assets.” Harris said increasing the city’s “take” from its lease with Pacifica to operate the park on the property the city owns could translate directly into funding that could be spent elsewhere, like hiring more codeenforcement officers, police or fire personnel, who are desperately needed. Belmont Park was initially developed by sugar magnate John Spreckels and opened on July 4, 1925 as the Mission Beach Amusement Center. Besides providing recreation and amusement, the park was intended as a way to help Spreckels sell land in Mission Beach. The attractions and rides remaining from the original 1925 park include the Giant Dipper historic wooden rollercoaster listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Plunge, an indoor swimming pool temporarily closed, which is now a freshwater pool, started out as a saltwater pool.
PB man who stole IDs of dead children handed prison term By NEAL PUTNAM A Pacific Beach man who used the identities of long dead children to hide gold and other assets was sentenced Nov. 17 to 57 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $2.2 million to the Internal Revenue Service. Lloyd Irvin Taylor, 71, will get credit for serving 17 months in prison since he was arrested in April 5, 2013. He is a former tax attorney and certified public accountant. The prosecutor sought an 87-month sentence while his attorney asked U.S. District Court Judge Michael Anello for a twoyear term. Taylor’s attorney, Knut Johnson, said the government seized $1.6 million in gold before Taylor’s arrest and that covers most of the restitution. Uncirculated gold coins were found in protective tubes in his offshore
bank accounts. A jury deliberated about 50 minutes June 30 before finding Taylor guilty on 19 counts that included making false statements on U.S. passport applications, seven counts of aggravated identity theft, two counts of tax evasion and committing a corrupt endeavor to impede the IRS. The identities of six children who died in the San Francisco Bay area in the early 1950s were used in the scheme because they did not have Social Security numbers. Taylor apparently used public records to research them. The brother of one deceased victim testified in the five-day trial, as did a blind elderly woman whose Social Security number was stolen and misused by Taylor. U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said Taylor used the identities to hide about $5 million in income.
“For years, Lloyd Taylor stole the identities of deceased children and travelled internationally to obtain identification documents,” said Duffy in a statement. “Mr. Taylor took advantage of his victims to line his pockets and avoid paying his taxes,” she said. “Identity theft is a dangerous crime that not only traumatizes the unsuspecting victims and family members, but also facilitates the commission of further crime activity.” Taylor formed more than a dozen fraudulent tax-exempt religious groups and opened 31 bank and investment accounts in the names of fake churches, said Duffy. Taylor earned significant income through securities trading and investments. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said he only filed a tax return seven times in his life, the last year for 2003.
News QUICKHITS >> MAN CHARGED WITH DRUG, WEAPONS COUNTS; PB HOME RAIDED
A San Diego man is charged in a federal indictment that was unsealed recently. The man was charged with various drug and weapons counts, including endangering human life while illegally manufacturing hashish oil, in connection with an explosion at a marijuana dispensary that he operated. The sting also resulted in the raid of a home near Mission Bay High. Steve Elar Mora, 34, made his first appearance in U.S. District Court this week and was ordered held pending a detention hearing scheduled for Monday. According to court records, the explosion occurred due to an illicit “butane honey oil'” lab operating at the marijuana dispensary. Also called the “wax,” hash oil is an extremely potent form of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects. It is made by dissolving marijuana using dangerous substances like butane — or lighter fluid — and selling the resulting residue to users at

2035. The 20-year capital improvement project calls for the construction of a nearly $2 billion waterpurification plant on Harbor Drive and installation of advanced purification at the North City Water Reclamation Plant and the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant. The three facilities would eventually produce 83 million gallons per day. The project would divert wastewater flows away from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, which treats wastewater before it’s piped into the ocean. That would allow for a higher level of treatment for wastewater and negate the need for billions of dollars to outfit the Point Loma plant with a secondary water-treatment system. The city currently depends on importing 85 percent of its water from Northern California and the Colorado River. A Water Reuse Study, Recycled Water Study and Water Purification Demonstration Project determined that it is feasible for San Diego to use water purification technology to produce onethird of San Diego's drinking water supply locally by 2035. The City Council vote ratified a cooperative agreement with environmental groups, laying out steps to achieve both the significant reduction in discharges of treated sewage to the ocean, as well as the production of at least 83 million
more than twice the price of other high-quality marijuana products. Efforts to extract hash oil appear to be on the rise. Since October 2011, there have been about 20 butane honey-oil fires/explosions in San Diego County, according to authorities. The explosion connected to the indictment of Mora occurred July 21 at the Greenworks Dispensary in the Clairemont area of San Diego. While executing a search warrant after the explosion, law enforcement also found a handgun and ammunition at the dispensary. According to the indictment, Mora has been convicted of two state felonies and is not allowed to possess a firearm under federal law. DEA agents also found an AR-15 assault rifle during a search of Mora’s home near Mission Bay High School in Pacific Beach, according to court papers. — City News Service PACIFIC BEACH PLANNING GROUP SEEKING NEW MEMBERS
The Pacific Beach Planning Group (PBPG) is seeking candidates for its annual elections. The PBPG is composed of 20 community volunteers (15 residential and 5 commercial seats). The group advises the city on
gallons per day of drinking water by 2035, enough to meet about 40 percent of the city’s current use. “This vote represents a critical step toward solving San Diego County’s water supply issues and forms the basis of a new paradigm for water treatment and reuse in arid regions throughout the U.S. and Southern California, said Marco Gonzalez, executive director of the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation. He has worked on the issue for nearly two decades. “Our agreement is the product of many years and countless hours conceptualizing a plan for better coastal protection while also creating a drought-proof local drinking water supply.” Since the late 1990s, environmental groups have championed large-scale potable wastewater recycling as a win-win approach to solving the problem of continued substandard ocean discharges of treated wastewater and the need for a drought-proof source of locally controlled water for the San Diego region. Incoming San Diego District 2 City Council member Lorie Zapf said the local search for water independence “has been a long and arduous process.” Pointing out the rare coalition of business and environmental groups on the issue, Zapf said, “This is a good thing.” But she warned, “There’s a lot of heavy lifting to come” in terms of future votes, needed legislation and environmental review to make enhanced water reclamation a reality.

Sherri Lightner, representing La Jolla, urged the city to “provide incentives encouraging homeowners and businesses to use grey water and private water reclamation projects for commercial developments.” “We want to ensure a sustainable water supply for our region,” Lightner said. U.S. Rep. Scott Peters (D-52) also weighed in on the Council’s favorable water-recycling vote. “Actions by the San Diego City Council are a huge step in the right direction as we adapt to the prolonged drought and work to diversify our community’s water supply,” Peters said. “Safely recycling wastewater into drinking water is not just the environmentally friendly thing to do but makes financial sense as we become less reliant on imported supplies. This project has been a long time coming, and I am proud to have been involved in past years on the City Council to push it toward completion. I want to congratulate Council President Gloria and Mayor Faulconer for their work to move this toward the finish line.” Faulconer and city officials have been working together for nearly a year and a half with a diverse group of stakeholders, partners and local environmental groups to reach consensus on a strategy to submit the modified permit renewal application for the Point Loma plant, implement Pure Water San Diego and work to obtain approval of secondary equivalency for the Point Loma plant.

owners are not evicted. The shop owners struggle to find new locations due to intimidated landlords, who are wary of having medical marijuana shops as tenants due to city harassment. If a new location can be found in rare legal zoning boundaries, businesses have to move their entire operations to new locations, sometimes impossible for a newly opened shop. Shockingly, out of the hundreds of dispensaries around the city, there is only one in all San Diego County (located in El Cajon) recognized as a legal operation by the city. Why is the city of San Diego so grudging to accept medical marijuana, which is becoming only more normal on a national level? If any city should understand the benefit of regulating marijuana and keeping it out of illegal street operations, it should be San Diego, with its long involvement fighting Tijuana drug cartels. The State of California legalized medical marijuana in 1996 by public vote – and in 2014, the city of San Diego needs to wake up to the reality that public opinion has moved in favor of marijuana (especially medical) and quit its shameful display of finding ways to criminalize something that has been legal for years.
The legalization of marijuana has been one of the most controversial issues in America during recent election cycles. With two more states (Oregon and Alaska) and Washington, D.C. legalizing recreational marijuana in the recent election, the issue is more prominent than ever. Recently, President Obama pledged to cease federal interference in state-level marijuana issues. Hundreds of medical marijuana dispensaries have opened in San Diego County in the last few years, making San Diego one of the biggest hubs of the medical marijuana industry in the United States. Despite this, local governments have resisted the boom and have cracked down on local shops. Citing nearly impossible-to-observe zoning laws and other legal obstacles, the city has shut the doors of more than 200 dispensaries in recent months. Whereas more continue to set up shop around the city, several more were shut down. This constant quarrel does not seem to be coming to a halt anytime soon. When there is no legal backing for citing zoning laws in order to close the shops, the city has been known to harass landlords, sending inspectors to dig up any building violations and — Aaron Mannis is political science stack up numerous fines if the shop at San Diego State University.

City eyeing options on raising new revenue for infrastructure, housing The city of San Diego needs to consider raising taxes or taking other significant steps to raise revenue to pay for infrastructure improvements and affordable housing projects in the future, according to a report to be delivered to the City Council’s Smart Growth and Land Use Committee. Among eight options outlined by the city’s Independent Budget Analyst’s Office are raising sales, hotel and utility-users taxes and repealing a law that requires San Diego to provide free curbside refuse pickup. “It is clear that if the city is to fully maintain its infrastructure, ensure compliance with state and federal regulations and provide continued and increased services to the citizens of San Diego, additional revenue sources will be necessary,” the IBA report reads. “It may be useful for the City Council to consider these potential revenue sources as it determines how best to meet the needs of the city and its citizens.” The city’s so-called “infrastructure deficit” could reach as much as $2 billion by the time assessment studies are completed, according to the report. San Diego and other cities also face expensive state mandates to clean up stormwater and must figure out a way to pay for affordable housing projects now that the redevelopment process has been abolished. According to the IBA, if all the bonds contemplated by city officials in upcoming years are taken out, the city would still fall

Regarding the taxes that already exist, the IBA said no other said that would bring an amount “relatively small compared to total city in the county has a sales-tax rate lower than San Diego’s 8 percent. Raising it by a quarter-cent would bring in an estimatneed, and will fluctuate with the economy each year.” ed $64 million, the report estimates.

Sports & the Neighborhood Mission Bay High football wraps up season with victory By KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI The Mission Bay High Buccaneers varsity football team completed its 2014 season on a winning note Nov. 7 with a 21-7 road victory over the Western League rival Coronado Islanders. Mission Bay finished the season with a 4-6 record and 1-3 in league play. By comparison, the Bucs had played in the division finals the previous year at Qualcomm Stadium. Despite finishing under .500 this season, the Buccaneers had a decent year after they were forced to play all 10 regular season games either on the road or a neutral site because of the construction of the new Mission Bay High School Stadium, which is near completion. The Bucs’ offense played well this year, averaging 25.1 points per game, but could not compensate for a defense that surrendered an average of 29 points per game that included losses against Christian (49-10), Patrick Henry (41-14), Madison (4814), La Jolla (51-7) and Point Loma (42-19). Mission Bay was resilient, though, and rebounded with a win after three of the losses. Quarterback Derrick Clark, a junior, led the Buccaneers run-heavy offense in rushing yards (1,519), average yards per attempt (11.9) and rushing touchdowns (23). Clark’s
best game this year was a 251 yard rushing, five-touchdown performance in a win over Horizon Christian Academy in week two. The Bucs wrapped up with a total of 356 allpurpose yards. During the season, Darryl Dave, a senior, complemented Clark with 903 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns. Junior Myles Dumas was the standout on defense, leading the team in tackles with 14 (13 solo), three interceptions, seven passes defended and a fumble recovery. Dumas also contributed on offense with 136 all-purpose yards (120 receiving, 10 rushing). He had an interception, three tackles and two passes defended in the season finale. The Buccaneers opened the season with a 26-13 loss to West Hills, then followed it up with a 34-24 win over Horizon Christian Academy in a game played at Helix. The next two weeks, Mission Bay struggled in a 4114 loss to Patrick Henry and a 49-10 loss to Christian. The club rebounded with a convincing 62-0 win over San Diego but was flat the next week in a 38-14 loss to Madison. The Bucs rebounded again with a 50-12 win over the Kearny Comets but again had trouble in back-to-back defeats against La Jolla and Point Loma, finally ending the season with a win over Coronado.

Short-term vacation rentals remains divisive issue between residents, operators By DAVE SCHWAB Short-term vacation rental operators and residents concerned about them participated in a Dec. 6 subcommittee meeting in Pacific Beach, with residents insisting they don’t belong in single-family neighborhoods and operators agreeing to “reasonable” regulations governing them. A Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) Subcommittee has been established by the Pacific Beach Planning Group (PBPG) to meet with stakeholders to come up with workable recommendations on regulating STVRs. Some PB residents feel the proliferation of STVRs brings noise, traffic, parking and other problems that need to be dealt with. “I’ve gotten a hundred emails complaining about STVRs being a nuisance,” noted subcommittee chairman Jim Krokee, who added the first STVR subcommittee meeting a month ago produced “two polarized points of view, one that people don’t want them in singlefamily neighborhoods and the other that there should be a permit, ordinance or something to help control vacation rentals, which should be allowed to occur throughout the city.” Krokee said the objective of the subcommittee is to come up with workable recommendations from
stakeholders to address growing noise and other problems associated with vacation rentals. “It’s (STVRs) becoming a big issue,” he added. “It’s important for the city to start thinking about what we do with vacation rentals.” Krokee iterated that he felt it’s “absolutely imperative that we need a permit (system) to minimize (STVR) nuisance impacts.” Vacation-rental industry reps weren’t in disagreement with the notion of a permit system or more regulations. But they did caution against “singling out” short-term rentals. “A permitting process should have fees used across the board to enforce noise and other issues for all rentals, not just short-term rentals,” said one STVR industry rep. PBPG chair Brian Curry said STVR issues now being vetted at the subcommittee level will be forwarded for a final decision to the whole planning group, adding the real power to change regulations governing them "lies with the mayor and City Council." “Just like the Oversize Vehicle Ordinance (OVO), the City Council likes to do things citywide,” noted Curry. “It’s great to see the community involved in issues that are facing us.” Neighbors pointed out new regu-
lations governing STVRs need to have teeth. “The key to what we do with an ordinance is enforcement,” pointed out one resident. “We need to develop a source of revenue dedicated to enforcing whatever regulations you have in place. Eventually, you can have an ordinance which outlines specifically what disciplinary actions can be taken against (STVR) property owners/managers.” Resident Marcie Becket argued the number of short-term rentals in Pacific Beach has been growing significantly, adding to already-vexing problems of noise, overcrowding and lack of parking. “Vacation rentals are also causing long-term residents to move away, degrading our quality of life,” she said, arguing that STVRs crowd out “vested” residents who send their kids to local schools and contribute to the community’s longterm well being. “This is an evolving dialogue,” noted subcommittee member Scott Chipman. “Hopefully, we can finalize suggestions to present to the full PBPG in February,” said Krokee, suggesting stakeholders bring something to eat at the subcommittee’s next meeting Saturday, Jan. 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library.

When the term average is used in a sentence or phrase, it usually doesn't get people too excited. When I read a recent post on Surfline where it called out that this winter is likely to be just average, my stoke factor increased a degree or two. That's because of the fact that the last two or three winter seasons have been below average. That doesn't mean that we haven’t had waves, but the frequency and size of the surf pretty much sucked for awhile in all of Southern California. A return to average means that we should be seeing more frequent swells with surf running in the chest- to head-high range on a more regular basis. If you are a big wave hunter, this might not be what you want to hear, but for the more mortal wave rider consistent moderate size surf will be just fine. Some solid over head days of surf are likely to occur in the months of January and February, so use these earlier times to train and gear up for then. Normal-size surf coming through with more regularity will also help to keep crowds down a bit as the tension that builds up between swells will not be as intense with regular go outs being more available. Smaller and wider boards will continue to rule the waters until some real and decent-size swells roll in. Then, the narrower step up or gunny boards can be dusted off and put to good use. If you are after the big stuff, there will be some, but you'll have to do some motoring either toward the south or north to lock into anything in the XXL department. Now, you have to remember that the ocean is a very unpredictable place and I can't be held responsible if she decides to turn on more, or off for that matter. What I can tell you with certainty is that we will have some type of surf sooner or later. If it’s an average year, we will all be stoked. If it turns out to be more than that, well, it will be a bonus.
