One of Southern California's most beloved summer traditions returns to the South Bay for five days of surf, sand, and competition. The International Surf Festival spans Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach, drawing participants of all ages — from 8 to their late 80s — for events including the Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim, the Charlie Saikley 6-Man Beach Volleyball Tournament, the Judge Taplin Lifeguard Medley Relay, paddleboard races, bodysurfing championships, a beach run, and more.
