The sports action saw huge crowds coming out to support local and professional athletes all weekend long. The action sports; FMX, Freestyle Mountain Biking, and Wakeboarding threw down some sick comps/jams throughout the weekend and were a big hit with the festival goers. The boys in the Dirt Zone made some sweet feature changes to the Freestyle Mountain Bike course, giving the riders a new layout to play around with. The Water Zone had a cool combination of both wakeboarders and wakeskaters that made for some wicked jam sessions. A new zone added for 2011 was the “Urban Zone” featuring local BMX and Skateboard athletes rippin up a course built by The Bakery Boardshop. The Professional Mens/Womens Beach Volleyball, and 4 vs 4 Open Basketball Tournaments featured some of the best athletes in Canada and the US competing for the top prizes.

The Bass Stage was a new addition to the 2011 event and featured some big names in Dubstep and Hip Hop including; Downlink, Mat the Alien and Snak the Ripper. This stage was an open area for anyone with festival passes to enjoy. The Beach Stage located within the beverage gardens was all electronic/dance music, headliners Bad Boy Bill and LA Riots created one massive beach party all weekend long. The Sun FM Main Stage featured some of the worlds biggest names in music and the line-up rivalled that of other major music festivals in the area.

Wet Ape Helps Develop Canadian Beach Volleyball Through Western Swing

Wet Ape believes the idea of reviving a national beach volleyball tour is not a radical notion. If athletes, event organizers, and fans all work together we can all facilitate positive, sustainable growth in beach volleyball through the eventual initiation and establishment of a national tour. The Western Swing is the beginning of this movement. It’s a combined effort of Volleyball BC, Alberta Volleyball, and Wet Ape.

In 2011 the Western Swing will consist of 4 major tournaments in a row across BC and Alberta throughout July and there will be $35,000 to $40,000 in prize pool across the 4 events. This is a great opportunity for athletes to compete against some of the top teams in the country, win prize money, and travel to some amazing locations within a three and half week period.

Please check out the new Canadian Beach Tour site for all the information on the Western Swing. The site will feature all of the top tournaments, as well as top beach athletes in the country. It’s an interactive experience so get involved, add pics, tournaments, player profiles, and join the social networks…

http://www.canadianbeachtour.com/

The goal of the site is to provide a platform for the Canadian beach volleyball community to develop and promote tournaments and athletes. The idea is for the provincial associations and individual promoters to work together on the scheduling and promoting of the top events in the country. There are many ways that you can get involved and support this movement. Please contact us through the site if you’re interest in helping out.

Tickets will be available exclusively through www.selectyourtickets.com Pre-Sale tickets will be available Thursday Feb 3^rd at 10AM, you will need a PASSWORD, text TIESTOinKEL or TIESTOinVIC to 66937, once signed up you will receive the password on February 2^nd.

General sales will start Saturday Feb 5^th at 10AM.

         Floor $108 (Kel) $98 (Vic)
         Side Bowl $68
         Back Bowl $58

TIESTO will be joined by Hardwell, a house music DJ that has made a name for himself with his exciting and refreshing take on the electronic genre. Along with these guys we will be announcing a special guest soon, and it should be an exciting addition for all the Dubstep fans!
