Last Call for Sign Ups!
Greetings!
Our 13th Annual Menehune Contest at La Jolla Shores is next weekend - Saturday, April 20.
IF you haven't done so already, you may still register online using PayPal from our website. Deadline has been extended until midnight on Monday, April 15. We've got a great day of fun for the entire family. Kids will be competing in longboard, shortboard, and novice divisions, ages 18 & under. Our Super Menehunes (age 6 & under) are not judged and surf at the end of the day, with their parents helping push them into waves. We have special heats planned for surfing parents - "DOG" (Dads of Groms) and "MOB" (Mothers on Board).
FREE Squires Deli coffee will greet you as the first heats getunderway at 7a.m., and our fabulous BBQ lunch, raffle, and silent auction featuring lots of great prizes will keep you stoked all day long.

It's not too late to give - we welcome gifts of ANY KIND to feature in our raffle - we give away prizes every hour starting around 11 am and announce our sponsors over the loudspeaker. We encourage those of you who can to donate $60 or more to help us cover entry fees for families that have fallen on tough times. (sponsor a surfer option available on PayPal) No one is turned away for their inability to pay - so let us know if you can help a family with their entry fees.
