Both iron man and iron women competitions.
Tug-of-War Competitions

Kids Sand Castle Competition
The best kids sand castle. Looking for creative effort on this one.
Kids Beach Races
Held each year for the kids to see who’s the fastest on the sand.
Ladies & Mens Thong Throwing Competition
Just how much practice have you had through the year to compete in this competition will decide whether you end up a finalist. These are the thongs you wear on your feet by the way, not the other kind.
IN THE WATER
Soft Drink Can Boat Race
If you and your friends think you have the stomach to drink enough soft drink to build a boat out of cans, then this is your race. Great for Schools
Beer Can Boat Race (Crew of 4)
This event tests your boat building and racing abilities on the water. How well can 4 people come together to master the rough seas in a can boat!
