Luau and Legends

On Sunday, August 9, the Luau and Legends of Surfing Invitational kicks off at 7am near Scripps Pier with a surfing tournament in which teams of four are paired with a surf legend to compete in the contest. The luau follows at noon with live entertainment and a tropical buffet. Live and silent auctions feature surf-inspired artwork, exceptional surfboards, and vacation packages. The program closes with the presentation of the Rell Sunn Award, given this year to Carl June, MD, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania at the forefront of immunotherapy. Proceeds benefit UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. The tournament is free for viewing; luau tickets are $175 per person. (858.534.4289, www.luauandlegendsofsurfing.org)
