Becca, local lady we love.

Local Lady We Love, and Where to Find Her
You may have met Becca slinging shots behind the bar at SandBar in Mission Beach, but by day, she volunteers her time teaching illiterate adults how to read, traveling, hanging out with her two Alaskan Eskimos Fresco and Dante, cruising in her six-person golf cart in Pacific Beach, and kicking ass at everything from surfing and spear-fishing here in SD or Mexico, to hitting the slopes snowboarding in Mammoth. If she has to be indoors, you can bet she's contorted in some crazy position at a hot yoga class. In her down time, you'll catch her at her favorite sushi spot, Sushi Kuchi in PB, or breaking it down on the dance floor at Tavern by the Beach.
