MSA Classic Invitational 2025!

History

Founded in 1961, the Malibu Surfing Association was one of California’s first surf clubs, formed to promote and protect the spirit, culture, and environmental integrity of surfing at Malibu. The MSA Classic was created to honor the roots of traditional longboarding and has evolved into a premier international gathering of top surf clubs and athletes.

Each year, the MSA Classic draws elite longboarders from around the globe to compete on First Point’s legendary right-hand break. The event is not only a showcase of style, skill, and sportsmanship but also a celebration of surfing’s rich heritage. With over six decades of history, the Classic continues to unite generations of surfers in a shared commitment to the traditions and community values that define the sport.
