Whether Amateur or Pro - all it takes is for you and five of your friends to get out of the "jungle" and compete for the crown.

Six on the Beach History:

It's 1988, and we're in Mission Beach San Diego...Picture over 20 AVP Players and Olympic Gold Medalists teaming up and vying for the first (and only) ever $10,000 Six Man Pro Beach Volleyball World Championships...

Pro Beach Volleyball's winningest players, Singin Smith, Randy Stoklos, Mike Dodd, Dan Vrebalovich, Gary Sato, Steve Salmon and many others are competing fiercely in a Final - all together at once....

A historic, successful event indeed, as this was one of the first major events produced by ionFest Founder Dave Behar. But that was then...Fast forward to 2005 at the beach near the Breakwater - Cabrillo Beach. After a 15-year hiatus, the classic event is hosted at picturesque Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, promising to be just as exciting, if not more, as the players from that era and event are now Legends, invited, and eligible for prize money....Play or watch, this is an event for the ages - practically all ages.

Here's the skinny:
