Event Overview:
Sunday, August 17, 2014 at the Scripps Pier, La Jolla

7:00 am – 11:30am
The day begins at the beach below Scripps Pier with a surfing tournament where the emphasis is on participation and support for the cause rather than an individual’s surfing ability. Each of the sponsored teams, including an assigned surfing legend, vie for traditional trophies.

11:00 am
Registration and Silent Auction Opens

11:30 am – 3:00 pm
The Luau festivities commence under tents where more than 500 attendees enjoy live music while dining at a tropical buffet. Guests may opt to participate in opportunity drawings; the silent auction; or test their bidding skills against each other as “one-of-a-kind” pieces of surf-inspired artwork, exceptional surfboards, and vacation packages are put up for live auction. Always a crowd favorite!

VIP Party, Saturday, August 16, 2014
The VIP Party will take place at a private donor’s home the evening before the surf invitational. At this exclusive event, guests will have an opportunity to mingle with surf legends, experience special live entertainment and dine on extraordinary tropical treats. This is a ticketed only event; tickets must be purchased in advance.

Travel is all about getting somewhere else.

At the beginning, it was just an idea, but at the same time, a challenge I had set for myself some time ago. Honestly, I saw it as complicated since it was my first time traveling alone to Europe, and I was curious and nervous because I was literally going to another country. The only thing that reassured me was being able to speak Spanish over there. But, of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of the entire BAPU beachware team who encouraged me and gave me the motivation not to doubt myself and make this a fulfilled goal, we organized various activities while presenting the short film "El Gordo" to raise funds for this trip.
