The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing gets underway with an opening ceremony on Wednesday on Oʻahu’s North Shore.

This year marks the 37th consecutive year of crowning Champions as surfers come together from around the globe to define their career.

For six weeks, from Nov. 13 to Dec. 20, seven miles of winter waves become the focal point of the surfing community, with the sport’s greatest stories coming to life.

Athletes, staff and community members will converge at Haleiwa Ali’i Beach Park, the site of the Hawaiian Pro event, for the traditional Hawaiian welcoming protocol.

Fans eager to catch the action can witness the VTCS LIVE via the world-class broadcast on WorldSurfLeague.com, VansTripleCrownOfSurfing.com, Facebook.com/wsllive and on the free WSL app. Or tune into Spectrum SURF channels 20 and 1020HD, which will televise the action LIVE and in replay across the state of Hawaiʻi.
