International Tiki Day Beach Burn....Keep the Tiki Torch Burning!!

Pages: 1 2 3 4 174 replies

Big Tiki Dude's annual SGC 101 is the same day as the burn....The burn has always been on the 2nd Saturday in August (to coincide with International Tiki Day.) We want to support Jeff (and have when there was no schedule conflict) so go check out some cool surf bands and stop by the beach either early or later....Early in the day (like 8-11am) things get pretty crazy and then again around 6ish on with the ceremonial burning of the tiki(s).
The grills are going all day and we will be having a great time. So stop on by when you can.

WooooHooooooOOOoooooooo! to BTD/SGC101 & The Burn!!!!! :P

Thanks Chris.
appreciate that.

FIRE IT UP!

Question:
When you pay the entry fee for Huntington Beach State Beach, you get a day pass which allows you to leave and enter as much as you want during that day, right? So you can check out HB in the morning, leave to check out the Surf Guitar convention in the afternoon, then return to HB State Beach for the Burn in the evening without having to pay again?

Caution guys and gals. You cannot access the parking lot if it is full. It doesn't matter if you've paid in the morning hours....when the lot is full, it is closed. Be careful cause it will be full on a Saturday night in August.

If you have a truck, the best bet is to throw your bikes in your truck and park in a neighborhood close by and ride from that point.

HULA GIRLS AND DICK DALE THAT NIGHT....CANNOT MISS!!!!! The Boo's will cruise down during the day.

Aloha!

It's almost that time again!!!!

That ring you got last year near the li'l blacktop walkway was pretty cool, makes it easy to shlep one's stuff in from the parking lot.

SoccerTiki and I are planning to get up at The Crack of Dawn to get a Fire Pit reserved. Hopefully it will be where we were lat year. We will post here on TC where we are for everyone. Only 10 More Days...WooHooo!!!

That will be cool if you are able to get it! Thanks for all your efforts, youse guys :)

You might want to get there before the crack of dawn to reserve the pit. I've noticed lines starting as early as 4:30 a.m. lately. The inlanders are taking over!!! Weekends have been crazy crowded here this summer!! I've also heard of people taking pits when they are not occupied by people ( gone are the days of leaving chairs. blanket, etc. and coming back later.

p.s. There are 2 pits at the end of that ramp now. If you get there first, you can get both. Like your own private party!

Yesss! That is great news!

A long shot as we were leaving.

You have to admit, for a Tiki Beach Burn, a Tiki carved out of a Duraflame log is definitely prize worthy. Congrats on your win!

I have a feeling there is going to be more than one Duraflame Tiki at the next Beach Burn.

BTW, I had a great time this year I just wish I could have made it earlier. Who were the two that brought out all of the "ice tea" on a board? A big thank you to you both!

Thanks to Soccer Tiki and WooHoo for getting there before daybreak to stake out the fire ring, and for keeping ITD alive! It's always great to see everyone.
