The 23rd Luau & Legends of Surfing Invitational took place Aug. 21, 2016 on the beach near Scripps Pier in La Jolla to support cancer research and patient care at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Sadly, a death occurred at the event when volunteer Francis Todd, 62, who was on his board monitoring the surf contest was found face down in the water. Lifeguards performed CPR and Todd was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital, but he did not survive.
