SEAL BEACH, CA Knowing you can ski and surf on the same day is one of the biggest draws to life in Southern California. That was never more apparent than in this picture taken by Seal Beach resident and photographer Tim Western.
A recent storm brought pounding surf and pouring rain at the coast and left area mountains buried in snow. The pier in Seal Beach is the best place to capture it all, according to Western.

The love of music can unite people no matter the circumstances. Tina Haase Findlay, MarKaus and Lily DeTaeye (L-R) are just a few of the local artists whose collaborations show how music is best made together.
The joy of making music together may seem like a distant memory after ten long months of isolation and division. These unprecedented times go to show just how much we long for, need and love one another. Music is just one of the ways that love is shared within our community.
Here at Studio One, we re celebrating the many different forms of love during the Valentine s Special, a Tracks show airing at 2 p.m. on February 13 and 8 p.m. on the 14 that showcases love for partners, friends, the arts, the community and especially ourselves during these trying times.

As we extensively reported (see links above), Maverick’s saw its best day in recent memory last Tuesday. Consistent 40-foot faces greeted some of the world’s best surfers from sunup to sundown. And while the swell on December 8th peaked to a burly 17 feet @ 19 seconds, the wind stayed mellow all day, allowing for some truly jaw-dropping surfing to take place.
As Maverick’s pioneer Jeff Clark put it: “It’s the biggest, most consistent, powerful swell we’ve had since 2010.”

Like many San Diego theater artists, designer Ron Logan saw a good portion of his work dry up when the pandemic arrived in March.
Logan has designed scenery and graphics for theaters throughout San Diego, including his best-known work: the bug-eyed, crazy-haired theater fan logo for the San Diego International Fringe Festival. So with more time on his hands this year, Logan launched a new T-shirt line on Amazon inspired by the pandemic and local theater artists, like his partner, Hannah Logan, an actor, producer and playwright. The new Ron Logan Design brand features 25 T-shirt designs, many of them inspired by theater careers and traditions.
