22nd Annual Pā‘ia Bay Beachfest

A Family-Oriented Bodyboard and Surf Competition

Saturday January 19th and Sunday January 20th 2019

The 22nd Annual Pā‘ia Bay Beachfest is a fun and family-friendly showcase for Maui’s young bodyboarders and surfers to boast their style, tricks, and barrel-riding aptitude. Beachfest is held on the beach at the Pā‘ia Youth & Cultural Center, and will take place on Saturday January 19th and Sunday January 20th, 2019.

Beachfest is made possible by Kai Lenny, Marlon Tumacder, PYCC alumni, community members, and PYCC staff. This event is the only one of its kind at Pā‘ia Bay and is a tradition for three generations of Maui board-riders. This is the biggest event at Pā‘ia Bay and attracts competitors and spectators from around the state!

Beachfest features many special guests, including world-champion waterman Kai Lenny, world-renowned Kainoa McGee, and a few special guests and surprises! There are two new surf divisions this year that replace traditional shortboarding events: (1) Soft-Top Shootout and (2) Short-Board Expression Sessions (both divisions are for youth). Local food vendors will offer food to spectators to raise funds for the PYCC.

Event pre-registration is done in-person at the PYCC. The event is $20 to enter before event day, $30 to enter on event day, and free to watch! Day-of event registration begins at 7:00am and ends at 9:30AM on January 19. The first heat is in the water at 8:00am following the event blessing ceremony. Read More.
