Zuma Beach: In The Camera's Eye...

Dateline: Friday, March 13, 2015

Believe it or not... these are not aerial photos of Zuma Beach.  The photographer, Adam Sandler (also a freelance correspondent with "County Recurrent"), assures us that all of these photos by him were taken on terra firma, albeit, from an undisclosed location up high and adjacent to Encinal Canyon.

Frankly, we think he was operating a remote controlled aerial drone vehicle of some type, no doubt a prototype, strictly classified... on loan from some secret government entity...

In any case, these photos are stunning and we would like to thank Adam very much for sharing them with all of us here.

Until next time.....

That's "Chief Moseley"!...

Dateline: March 1, 2015

No longer is he "Acting Chief Lifeguard"...  he is the real deal, Chief Moseley!

Well done!

Congratulations, Chief!

Chief Steve Moseley, above, at left, off duty at the annual Medal of Valor dinner, Summer 2013. With Steve, at right, is veteran LACo OL, Scott Hubbell (aka, #BeachSport).

"County Recurrent" is also campaigning for an annual "all hands invite" "BEAT THE CHIEF" pier swim or buoy swim, followed by a beach bbq, pit fire and warm beverages.  Anyone that beats the chief in the swim gets a handshake and a high five from the Chief, a donut and a cup of coffee.  If this event takes place at the Manhattan Beach Pier, we will ask Manhattan Beach Fire Dept. Battalion Chief (and veteran LACo OL), Dave Shenbaum, to supervise the "Two Guns Surf Rescue" team at the end of the pier.

Above, then Acting Chief Steve Moseley, at middle, on a workout with two other LACo Ocean Lifeguards, Summer 2014, before that evening's annual LACo Intracrew Event.  As illustrated above, Mose is no slouch on surf entry, dolphining, and has keen skills in the surfline head up swimming speed. Then again, full disclosure, this workout was conducted under the supervision of Steve's orthopedic surgeon, at left, who is also a veteran LACo OL.  Even a Chief knows to have able bodied LACo Ocean Lifeguards as bodyguards and swim buddies.  The workout as team building exercise... that's a sign of good leadership skills!

No word yet as to whether this "BEAT THE CHIEF" event/idea will come to fruition.  Stay tuned.  

Until next time.....

Tower #8 at Temescal Cyn Road and PCH was open and we are betting it was a bit chilly inside the tower there this afternoon with the overcast skies and chill in the air...

Were you wondering what it was like at Zuma today?  Well, we have the answer...

Water temp approx. 61 degrees. Air temp near 70 degrees. Lots of rips and inshore holes and sunshine.  And speaking of inshore holes and rips, it is reported that Zuma/PDS had at least 60 rescues over the recent Presidents Day Weekend.
