The 29th Luau & Legends of Surfing Invitational returned with a surfing contest at Scripps Pier and a Polynesian-style luau at the Scripps Seaside Forum at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The event brought together surf teams made up of a “surfing legend” and representatives of local research companies who also surf. This year’s Rell Sun award, established in 1998 to honor the memory of Rell Kapolioka’ehukai Sunn, the “First Lady of Surfing, was awarded to Richard A. Heyman, PhD, a scientist and entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience in co-founding and building biotech companies. Proceeds benefited UC San Diego Health’s Moores Cancer Center.
