What happens if you mix Ultimate Frisbee with the most beautiful beach in the world? You get the Boracay Beach Ultimate Frisbee Open. Every year, the island hosts a beach ultimate frisbee tournament more commonly known as the "Boracay Open". Here, teams from all across the world gather in the lovely island of Boracay to compete in Ultimate.
This year, the Boracay Open was held last March 8-10. 3 jam-packed days of beach, pristine waters, beach front parties, and Ultimate all rolled into one. What more can you ask for?

It's more than just competition, the Boracay Open builds ties and creates friendship among players from all across the globe.
What's the best way to make friends, you ask?
After a heavy night of partying, players still drag their butts to the sand and play some more. Now that's what you call athleticism.
After the games, a sunset party takes place. This is when exceptional players are recognized for their efforts and the strongest teams are awarded.
This was my first ever Boracay Open. It definitely would not be my last; It was just way too fun!
