Ocean Beach Hat Tournament 2008 February 16-17 2008, Ocean Beach, near Whangarei, New Zealand Latest news The event As usual, 48 people, 6 teams, 2 days, 1 beach. And you.
Co-ed hat. International players and women are most welcome. Not one single woman will be turned away (although we don't expect to turn away any boys either). BULA (that's Beach Ultimate Lovers' Association) five a side rules apply (see http://www.beachultimate.org for more). One field so everyone gets lots of watching and hanging in the sun. Normally we play four games Saturday starting around 10 (with a live Hat draw before that) and then two games on Sunday (starting late), plus a final for the superstars. Expect a party too. Normally we have a BBQ at surf HQ on Saturday night and a few welcome drinks on the Friday night. Thanks to the guys in the Whangarei Heads Surf Life Saving Club.
Getting there, staying there and stuff to do Whangarei is about 2 and a half hours north from Auckland on State Highway 1. Have a look at the map. Accommodation at the Surf Life Saving Club is included in your fee. But mostly people bring a tent and pitch in the camping ground 100 metres from the beach. Ocean Beach and surrounds have great fishing and surfing too. Registration Registration is now closed for 2008. Email Brendon Love to find out more. |
