NYHAN LANDSCAPE Welcome Surfers, Sponsors and Supporters, The 7th Annual La Jolla Shores Menehune Surf contest is here again. The support you have shown us year after year is incredible. For making this our biggest and best event ever, I want to thank you all, including our generous sponsors, hardworking volunteers, and La Jolla Shores Surfing Asso- ciation members. I also want to thank our competitors for assisting the LJSSA com- munity outreach program. Every year, we donate much of our contest proceeds back to the community to a variety of organiza- tions and projects promoting worthy causes. This year please welcome our new division: the novice surfers. We hope to expose young athletes to this contest experience with- out the years of experience that some of our kids have. Encourage them to have a good time! I encourage contest surfers, young and old, to compete with a positive attitude towards your fellow surfers, always showing good sportsmanship and acknowledging that together we surf side-by-side in an ocean, on waves, that we all deeply love. I ask the volunteers to look around and appreciate your hundreds of hours of labor towards making this event happen. And finally, to all our sponsors, please know that without your generous sup- port, the LJSSA Menehune Contest could not have grown into the classic it has become.

Commencing in the 1930’s, the area now known as Dana Point increasingly became populated by persons, originally known as “Watermen,” defined as those who were “comfortable in a wide variety of ocean conditions and had a broad store of oceanic knowledge; more specifically applied to those who are accomplished at a particular set of surfing-related activities, including diving, swimming, sailing, bodysurfing, fishing, spearfishing, surf canoeing, and oceangoing rescue work.”1 This Oceanic Heritage Outline of the Surfing and Oceanic Heritage Projects of the Dana Point Historical Society commemorates

    Bid on your favorite now! text surf to 72727 SURF ART Dear Friends, Thank you so much for your interest in the amazing art that makes up the 2018 collection of Surfboards On Parade, presented by the Rotary Club of Huntington Beach. All of these pieces will be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Night of a Million Waves Gala and Art Auction on Sunday, October 7, 2018 at the beautiful new Twin Dolphin Tower at the Waterfront Beach Resort – a Hilton Hotel. Your support is invaluable and helps us in our efforts to make our community and the world a better place! In 2014, the inaugural year of Surfboards On Parade, we raised more than $100,000 to help eradicate skin cancer. In 2016, the generosity of the many helped raise $115,000 in the continued fight against skin cancer, and to help the City of Huntington Beach fund the first ever universally accessible playground on the sand that opened on 9th and PCH earlier this year! In total there are 23 masterpieces created by legendary shapers collaborating with acclaimed artists. Every collaboration available is truly one-of-a-kind art that will be not only an increasing asset, but also a slice of history and a conversation piece of stunning art to enjoy for generations to come. Please take a moment to reflect on the power of your potential contribution to help eradicate skin cancer, and for this year’s community cause, to heal our most wounded veteran’s one wave at a time. We are so grateful for your consideration.
