Rell Kapolioka'ehukai Sunn (1950 – 1998) was an American world surfing champion. Known as "Queen of Makaha" and "Aunty Rell", she was a pioneer in the world of women's surfing. Her middle name, which means "the heart of the sea," was given to her by her grandmother. Legally born Roella, a combination of her parents' names—Roen and Elbert—Sunn disliked it, eventually changing it legally to Rell.
