Just a week left until our big one-day Annual Menehune Contest on Saturday, April 29 at La Jolla Shores. We can't host this event without you - our members and friends.  Please spread the word and encourage all your surfing families and friends to sign up their kids if they haven't already.  Friday, April 21 - is the last day to register before late fees go into effect.  This contest is nearly full and we do not accept beach entrants on the day of the event. After April 21, late fees will be charged and entrants will be accepted as long as there is space in a division.  We're excited to again have a great lineup of sponsors, raffle prizes, trophies, division prizes, and a silent auction for some fun trips, La Jolla Shores "stay-cation" packages, surf boards, and more.  We hope you will join us!

Thanks for your support,          Lorraine Schmalenberger, Surf Club President
