California's quintessential action sport and lifestyle festival showcases professional surfing, skateboarding, BMX, FMX and beach volleyball competitions along with live music amid America's largest ocean-front exposition.

Skaters and bikers drop into the 13 foot deep kidney-shaped 'pool' and vie for  prize money.  TransWorld Surf Village! More than 80 exhibits, athlete autograph signings, dance contests, DJs, guest emcees and prize giveaways are among the myriad activities. Just north of the pier, the Bank of the West Concert Stage creates a soundtrack for today's lifestyle sports, with national and regional acts performing live during the final weekend.

Past bands include Hoobastank, Lit and Ozomatli. 'IMG is proud to welcome back Bank of the West as the title sponsor of this year's Beach Games,' said James Leitz, vice president for IMG Action Sports.
