Andy Dellenbach Celebration of Life & Memorial Paddle Out 2026

About this event

The South Bay surf community will gather at 4th Street in Manhattan Beach on Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM PST to celebrate the life of Andy Dellenbach. The Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation’s current announcement identifies Dellenbach by full name, while the collaborative South Bay Boardriders Club/JMMF event post and flyer publish the exact date, four-hour window, beach location and an open invitation: all are welcome. The program is described as a beach service, memorial paddle out and refreshments, honoring a husband, father, friend, leader and ocean lover whose work with JMMF touched the South Bay community. The flyer asks guests to wear light blue, turquoise or Hawaiian attire. It also recommends taking Uber because parking is limited. No admission fee, ticket, RSVP, preregistration, numeric capacity or waitlist is published. The organizers do not publish separate sub-times for the service, paddle out or refreshments, so the full 9:00 AM–1:00 PM window is retained without inventing a run of show. They also do not publish board or wetsuit requirements, ocean-safety staffing, a shore-only participation path, minor/guardian rules, gear loans, changing facilities, accessibility accommodations, weather or surf thresholds, a cancellation channel, or an alternate date. Guests planning to enter the ocean should check current conditions, use equipment appropriate to their ability and follow onsite lifeguard and organizer direction. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation through its official donation page.
