And now, your moment of zen...From early days at Pipe, to experimentation with LSD, to his decades at Swamis, pioneer and seeker John Peck's journey has been inextricably tied to the sea. Footag from the 2003 film "Riding Waves" by Cyrus Sutton. | Surfing Heritage & Culture Center

Benches perched above Swami's Beach in Encinitas were gone for more than two weeks while they were being refurbished, according to the city. Upon their return, the benches now feature an armrest in the middle. Some critics say the armrests are meant to keep homeless people from sleeping on the benches. http://on.nbc7.com/Mdj62ZN | NBC 7 San Diego
