One of Southern California's most iconic beach volleyball events returns to the sand at Manhattan Beach Pier. The Charlie Saikley 6-Man draws over 50,000 spectators to the South Bay for two days of high-energy, six-player team competition on one of the most celebrated stretches of beach in the world. A signature event of the 63rd International Surf Festival, the tournament has been a South Bay tradition since the early days of the festival in 1962.
