LUAU & LONGBOARD INVITATIONAL 
...celebrating 17 years surfing for a cure on Sunday, August 22nd, 2010. The day begins at 7 a.m. with the Longboard Invitational at the beach near Scripps Pier (directions). Each company-sponsored team of four is paired up with a longboard legend to compete in the surfing contest. The contest is free to watch. Many come to watch the event, get autographs, and buy souvenirs. With the contest underway, guests, contestants, and visitors alike will enjoy the Live surf music provided by The Duo-Tones + 2. Partners Paul Johnson, who currently plays with the Surfaris (“Wipe Out”) and Gil Orr, with the Chantays (“Pipeline”) will be joined by Dusty Watson and Ron Eglit (drummer and bassist) who were Dick Dale’s rhythm section from the ‘90s until very recently. Surf music about as authentic as it gets!
The Luau begins around noon as guests head up to Pawka Green on the campus of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Guests dine on a tropical buffet by Waters Fine Catering and will be entertained by two masters of the SURF GUITAR, Paul Johnson and Gil Orr, known as The Duo-Tones, and traditional Polynesian dancing from the Heali'i's Polynesian Revue.
