The opening tournament of the 2023 Beach Wrestling season was held on April 2, 2023, when California USA Wrestling hosted the Cali Beach Wrestling Kick Off at Pacifica State Beach in Pacifica, California. There were 125 wrestlers registered for the event, with U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, Junior Boys, Junior Girls, and Open Men divisions contested. The rules of Beach Wrestling are very simple. One point for a push out. One point for a takedown. Three points for a feet to back takedown. The first wrestler to three points wins. It was the first of many more Beach competitions to come, not only in California but also all across the United States.
