Rell Sunn 33rd Annual Menehune Contest
The Rell Sunn Educational Fund ended 2008 with a HUGE heartfelt surf meet on the west side of Oahu.
Thanksgiving weekend, surf stoked Menehune's and their ohana migrated to the Westside of Oahu for the 33rd Annual Rell Sunn Menehune Surfing Championships. This year drew an exceptionally large group of Menehune's with 250 talented boys & girls ranging in age from 4-12 competing in Bodyboarding, Shortboarding and Longboarding.
Mahalo to Pipe Master Jamie O'Brien, Kai Barger, Hurley team manager Kahea Hart, Makaha waterman Duane Desoto and #10 on the Womens's WCT, Makaha's Own Melanie Bartels. Mahalo to Kalani Robb and Bethany Hamilton (both graduates of this event) for each donating 2 surfboards to be given to deserving kids. Bethany rushed to get on a plane from Kauai to hand deliver her surfboards to Kahanu Delovio and Makana Demate. Kalani's boards went to Alika Manners and Kaniela Stewart. A big Mahalo goes out to Quiksilver, Glen & Meredith Moncata, judges & officials, Les & the gang at WARC and the many many sponsors in the surf industry that donated prizes to make this event possible.
