Windansea Surf Club accepting entries for junior surf contest

Entries are now being accepted for the Windansea Surf Club’s annual junior surf contest “The Menehune” to be held Saturday, Oct. 4 at the La Jolla Shores. Long board and short board divisions for all age groups are offered for boys and girls 16 years of age and under, including the popular (and very entertaining) Super Menehunes for 7 year-olds and under.

The event attracts young competitive surfers and their families from throughout the western states, Hawaii and Baja California. The granddaddy of all junior surf contests, The Menehune contest was first held at the La Jolla Shores in 1965 and was won by a young girl, Margot Godfrey (Oberg), a future world champion. The club will be awarding $250 educational scholarships to the top eight age group divisions for boys and girls, according to a news release.
