Dear ryan,

Are you going to display only posts within a specific "category" in default?
There isn't such a feature within Views, but you can create a custom shortcode for it, see another similar thread:

Thanks for the reply Luo. Still not getting this. I read the other thread.

1) How do pick the default category to display?

[Luo Yang]

In the above thread, the default category is picked by the shortcode attribute:
[default-available-countries available_countries='Hongkong']

In your case, you can try this simply:
1) Modify the PHP codes in your theme/functions.php as below:

add_shortcode('set-default-category', 'default_category_func');
function default_category_func($atts, $content){
    $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'default_category' => 'santa-monica',
        'url_param' => 'wpvcategory',
    ), $atts);
    if(!isset($_GET[$atts['url_param']][0]) || $_GET[$atts['url_param']][0] == ''){
        $_GET[$atts['url_param']][0] = $atts['default_category'];
    }
    return;
}

2) put above shortcode [set-default-category] just before the views shortcode [wpv-view ... ], for example:
[set-default-category default_category='santa-monica']
