Xcel Pro History
Since 1984 Xcel Wetsuits located in Haleiwa on Oahu's North Shore has been sponsoring and supporting the Hawaiian Pro-Am Circuit of Surfing (HPAC) with its first contest held at Haleiwa's Alii Beach Park. The circuit consisted of 3 to 4 contests per year held at various locations throughout the state. In order for the surfers to gain big wave contest experience in January of 1986 the Xcel Pro moved to Sunset Beach. In 1987 the date of the Xcel Pro was changed to October by which it established itself as the kick off event of the winter surf season on the North Shore.

The contest became the proving grounds for Hawaii's top amateurs to break into the pro ranks of the international surf community. It is also used by Hawaii's experienced pros as a means to test their equipment and contest strategies for the upcoming Triple Crown of Surfing. In 1992 the Xcel Pro became an ASP World Qualifying event. The Xcel Pro has been consistently held in 6' to 10' surf at Sunset Beach in what many consider to be the best surf of all contests for the year on the North Shore. There are only a handful of big wave events throughout the world with a reputation for consistently being held in the best surf.
