3. Redfrog Pty Ltd was founded in 2007. The name came about because when I was
a kid, my brothers and I use to get off the school bus, pull together as many coins
as we had left and buy a combination of mixed lollies. My favourites just hap-
pened to be redfrogs and still are today.
Our family home on Sydney’s Northern beaches was the venue to more sporting
events than Aussie Stadium. Kids from everywhere came to the house to compete
in a variety of backyard sporting events.
Beyond backyard games, I tried my hand at every sport and after school became
strongly involved in Surf Life Saving., athletics and rugby.
All these games, and the enjoyment that came from them has given me a passion
to create active games and products that bring people together, enhance skills and
provide them with a healthy lifestyle.
I do hope you like my first product and I look forward to designing more products
that will make people as happy as the games of my youth made me.

5. Beach Flags
Competitors lie down in the sand, facing away from the flags. At the signal they get
to their feet, turn and sprint to a flag placed in the sand. There is always less flags
than competitors. Anyone who fails to gain a flag is eliminated until there is only two
competitors left. The competitor who gets the last flag, wins.
Beach Sprint
The beach sprint course is usually set over 70 meters for nippers and masters and 90
meters for all other competitors . Starting when the whistle is sounded the competitor
sprints across the soft sand through the finish line. The first competitors’ chest across
the finish line is deemed the winner.
Beach Relay
The beach relay consists of a team of four competitors and a baton. Members 1 and
3 are stationed at one end of the course whilst members 2 and 4 are at the other. The
object is to successfully complete the race without dropping the baton and exchanging
within the set boundaries. First across the line wins.
