"We feel like this was the first real test we've had after we reopened the wharf, remarked Kahn, adding that her team was really happy with the way the new features held up during the atmospheric assault."
"Roughly 10 to 12 boards from the Capitola Wharf's decking were lifted up and out of place during the powerful ocean surge that hit the Central Coast last week."
"Unlike the majority of decking on the 855-foot-long wharf that is fastened to the foundation with screws, the 10 to 12 pieces that were bumped out of place were purposefully nailed in."
"These loosened boards act as a pressure release valve and help prevent major structural tweaks as the water rebounds against the wharf's underbelly."
