“I put on Joy Division and gazed into the sky… Cruising along at a good 45–50 mph and then it happened—Waaaccckk! My legs hit a bridge with no clearance… My feet were mangled and squirting blood!

BRANDON CRUZ: No matter where I go in the world, or how long I’ve lived away, I always end up back here in Silver Strand, Oxnard, California. Pretty much any memories I have growing up were either on this beach or in the house my grandfather built in the ’30s, about a half mile up.… Continue reading Dr. Know // Brandon Cruz.
