looked to me like we would have a one-day window of NW
windswell and warm weather.
I had been deep into multiple productions, a feature
documentary film, a commercial fashion shoot, and the day
at Dos Pueblos was something I looked forward to sharing
with my friends.
The short of it is that the day was perfect in every way.
Our models are not models per se, they are surfers. The site

itself, Rancho Dos Pueblos, has great historic significance. The
beach resides at the bottom of a coastal canyon. The stream
that runs through it used to have two separate Chumash
tribes living on opposite sides of its banks. The Schultes’ have
been incredibly generous in letting me use it for television,
motion picture, and fashion productions over multiple
decades, and I have worked with some amazing people at
the venerable rancho, the largest of the original Spanish Land

Grants, when in her prime.
That we could come back here and produce a wonderful
experience for everyone was incredibly beautiful, and made
possible by Pablo and the Schultes.
Gaviota is sort of magical in the manner it can hand you
the most deliciously idyllic experience in creation. Over the
years I have taken to calling this occurence the Chumash
Blessing. It is something unique to experience.
