About Vans Triple Crown of Surfing 2026-27

The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing returns for its 37th season with three WSL contests on Oahu's North Shore: the Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa Ali'i Beach Park (Nov 13-24), the Vans World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach (Nov 25-Dec 7) and the Billabong Pipe Masters at Pipeline (Dec 8-20). The world's best surfers and the global surf industry descend on the seven-mile miracle every winter.

A villa base on Oahu's North Shore puts you steps from the sand and the contest scene - host sunset surf-lit dinners for your group instead of fighting Kailua traffic back to Waikiki.

Vans Triple Crown of Surfing 2026-27 — FAQ

What are the dates and venues of the 2026-27 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing?

The series runs November 13 to December 20, 2026 on Oahu's North Shore: the Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa Ali'i Beach Park (November 13-24), the Vans World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach (November 25-December 7), and the Billabong Pipe Masters at Pipeline (December 8-20).

Where should our group stay while watching the Triple Crown?

A private villa on the North Shore - near Haleiwa, Sunset Beach or Pipeline - puts you minutes from the contest beaches and avoids the long drive back to Waikiki on contest days. Waikiki hotels work, but traffic on Kamehameha Highway is heavy during competition windows.

How far is the North Shore from Waikiki and Honolulu Airport?

Haleiwa and the main North Shore surf beaches are roughly a one-hour drive from Waikiki, and longer on contest days when Kamehameha Highway backs up. Staying on the North Shore removes that commute entirely.

Which contest is best for a first-time visitor?

The Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa is the most accessible, with relaxed viewing from the harbor seawall. For the most dramatic finishes, target the Pipe Masters closing week at Pipeline, December 8-20.

Do we need tickets to watch the surf competition?

Beach viewing is free and is the traditional way to watch. The WSL also sells ticketed VIP packages on competition days at the Hawaiian Pro and the Billabong Pipe Masters, including prime viewing areas, big screens, lounge access and lunch.

How big are the crowds and how should we plan contest days?

Crowds and North Shore traffic are heaviest at Sunset Beach and Pipeline, especially on big swell days. Arrive in the morning, expect beach parking to fill early, and keep rest days in the itinerary since heat schedules can shift with the ocean.

Can we book a villa for a large group during the event window?

Yes - the six-week window from mid-November to late December is peak North Shore season, so groups should book early. Contact The Maruca Group to match your group size and dates with a suitable Oahu villa.

How we screen every stay

Every home we represent is someone's personal residence, in a real neighborhood, and we've committed to the owner and their neighbors that we'll place it only with guests whose plans fit the home. So, like most professionally managed homes, we confirm a few details with every guest before a reservation is finalized — who is staying, the purpose of the trip, and agreement to the house rules and rental agreement. This is the same for everyone who books with us, and it's meant to protect you too: it keeps the neighborhood quiet and welcoming, keeps the home in the condition you expect, and ensures the property truly matches what you need. Once confirmed with the homeowner, we'll send the final quote for signature within one business day.

Maximum occupancy is the number shown for each home — no additional overnight guests, no day visitors beyond the registered group.
No undisclosed parties, events, gatherings, dinners, or photo/film shoots. Any event must be disclosed in advance, approved by the homeowner in writing, and paid for (event fee/deposit), and must follow city ordinance and house rules.
The primary guest must be 25+ (or the owner's minimum), must be staying on-site, and signs the rental agreement and provides ID.
Pet policy: pets by approval only. Service and assistance animals are always welcome — tell us in advance.
Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM; this is a residential neighborhood.
Every guest is screened and the homeowner has final approval on every reservation.
Rates are confirmed with the homeowner before the quote is final.
