Thanks for your interest in competing in the elite annual FIPS Pond Skim National Championships presented by Pirate Life. Despite being recognised as the National Championships and fully homologated and sanctioned by FIPS, you don't need to follow an athlete pathway from your local pond skimming club, through the state league, to reach national glory. Just give it a crack.
Win lots of MEGA PRIZES like:
This year entry is just $10. TEN DOLLARS! With a free Pirate Life included!! You can enter as a team or individual, or both (need to enter twice).
Juniors (<18) is $5 because no beer for you.
The judging is based a little on your jump and choreography, but the majority of the score comes from the costume. The more topical the better. Perhaps you're rolling into the pond as a $12 cabbage. Or launching it HIMARS style. So get cracking on your outfits and contraptions.
Questions? Please contact the Mt Buller Pond Skim Association (MBPSA) on marketing.admin@skibuller.com.au
If you are desperate to enter, please email marketing.admin@skibuller.com.au and we'll see what we can do.
