Vans Triple Crown of Surfing (Nov-Dec)
21° 35.6′ N · 158° 6.5′ W
Pro surfing's North Shore finale: three contests at Haleiwa Alii Beach Park, Sunset Beach and the Banzai Pipeline, crowning a Triple Crown champion across all three.
Practical
Position is Haleiwa Alii Beach Park (first venue). Traditionally held November to December: Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa (about mid-to-late November), World Cup at Sunset Beach (late November-early December) and Pipe Masters at Pipeline (December). Vans has owned the series since 1998; the format has changed several times since 2020 (a digital edition in 2020, and the Pipe Masters moved into the pro tour calendar), so confirm the current year's dates and venues before planning. Expect heavy traffic and full parking along Kamehameha Highway on contest days; the harbor entrance can be crowded with surfers.
