La Jolla Board Riders

Founded in 2019 by Cordon Baesel and Chuck Davey and sponsored by the club, LJBR is a shortboard team made up of the surfers populating the Windansea lineup. After a few too many fourth-place finishes they came back with a new strategy — and won.

The Windansea Classics

Community-led contests on Windansea Beach, organized by local surfers when the south swell lines up and the wind and fog stay away — often called the morning of. Placement is bragging rights in the lineup. The winners of every division meet in the Superheat, and the names go on the commemorative board.
