Smack my Beach Up

So, congratulations to the Brisbane-ites who've been selected on the Australian Beach Ultimate teams to play in October's Asian Ultimate Beach Championships in the Philippines.

Stephanie 'Stunner' Levasseur and Megan 'Bouncin' Barnes were selected on the Mixed Team, while Adam 'Jangled Ankles' Beu and Pete 'Pallen' Allen made it onto the Open Team.

No doubt these youngsters will be asking advice from a few of the medalists from Queenslanders who were part of the Australian triumphs at the World Beach Ultimate Championships back in late 2007 (the Open team rolling the Boracay Dragons in the process). But then again, Australia are already hot tips to win, so the pressure is high!

The event itself is likely to be a cracker, as the hosting Boracay Dragons are well known for running some great events.

Its great timing locally too, as the folks on the Gold Coast are getting things moving on some regular weekend beach pickup - expect I think to see Stephanie, Megan and Jangles down there often (Pete is still awol o/s), tearing up the sand and working on their tans.

It's only AWOL because I don't have a job to take leave from.

If anyone wants to see me tearing up a beach come visit me in Ko Tao where I'll be doing a months 'in-situ' training, there will be free accomodation for ya...
