This community-centered event welcomes traveling athletes, families, fans and locals to the North Shore of Oahu to kick-start the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing (VTCS) at a wave where many of Hawaii's athletes got their start in competitive surfing. The winner of the Hawaiian Pro takes the lead of the VTCS title while the eventual winner of the prestigious series proves themselves as a champion in all conditions. Haleiwa is the cornerstone gathering place for family beach days and is an easy-to-access and accommodating park to enjoy oceanfront action.
