The 32nd annual Legends of Surfing Invitational and the inaugural Legends of Science in Oncology Symposium came together to celebrate innovation, resilience and hope.

Over two incredible days, more than 35 internationally recognized experts shared leading-edge cancer research and 60 surfers across 12 teams took to the waves at Scripps Pier. Together, we honored courage, passion and the joy of community — raising support for Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health.

Since its inception, this event has raised over $12 million to advance cancer research. 💙
