Beach SLAM fun for fans

RAIN clouds didn’t deter volleyball fans from the annual Noosa SLAM festival on Noosa Main Beach last weekend.
More than 50 teams entered the social and competitive beach volleyball divisions to compete on SLAM’s iconic inflatable courts in front of the Noosa Heads Surf Club on Saturday 13 December.
Fun games kept competitors mingling between games, including the Bonds giant inflatable Twister, H2Coco coconut toss and the Rockstar, paper, scissors challenge wheel.
Competitors and spectators celebrated another successful SLAM festival at the Noosa Heads Surf Club with headliners, Tea Society.
Team Montezumers took out the top prize of the Corona Cup, with the Stiffeners winning the competitive fours cup, the Fellas taking out the competitive fours plate and No Apologies walking away with the competitive fours bowl.
In the social 6-player division, team Beach Sports won the cup, Tourism Noosa won the plate and No Apologies took out the bowl.
The SLAM festival will now travel to Perth, Melbourne and the Gold Coast in the New Year, before heading to Mount Maunganui and Auckland, New Zealand, for the first international festival.
