The 2012 Manhattan Beach 6-Man Party / Volleyball Jul 31–Aug 1, 2012

The Charlie Saikley Volleyball Tournament, casually known as the Manhattan Beach 6-Man, takes place during the International Surf Festival in the beginning of August. Famous for the blend of fierce competition and non-stop partying that has become tradition over the past 50 years, the Manhattan Beach 6-man is a summer staple in the South Bay.

The Manhattan Beach 6-man takes place during the middle of the week to guard against riot-status partying and features a round-robin format culminating in a hyped and competitive final on the last day of the event. There are men’s and women’s divisions which both generally book up several months before the tournament.

Don’t forget to dress up as teams and spectators alike always sport their most colorful and skimpy outfits throughout the tournament according to tradition.

The Manhattan Beach 6-Man Facebook page and the International Surf Festival website both provide information on event registration and guidelines.
