Our story
Made by hand.
Shared with friends.
Where the idea began
Before the restaurant,
there were fins.
Years ago, Christian and his close friend Shawn Figueroa spent their time off making custom surfboard fins. It was a small project built around surfing, trying things, and the pleasure of building something together.
Second Light takes that feeling and gives it a new setting: a coastal kitchen where the food is approachable, the details are personal, and people have a reason to linger.
A little of what you love can become the character of a whole place.
The restaurant is fictional. The friendship and handmade fins behind the idea are real. This is an exploration of how a person’s experiences can shape a brand—from its name to the object waiting on your table.
Meet the makers · Concept feature
Small details.
Someone behind them.
A maker’s work carries choices you can see and feel: the curve of a fin, the grain of the wood, a stripe of color. Our proposed maker feature gives those people and their processes a place in the story.
For this concept, it starts with the fin. Future guest makers would be featured with their permission, their own words, and a link to their work.
About the design ↗Picture your visit
A seat that
suits your day.
Lunch on the shaded terrace. A cool spot inside after the beach. An evening table as the lights come on over the lagoon. The spaces are imagined around the way people spend time here.
