HOW TO PLAY
1

Pair up so one player, the "base," carries a lighter teammate on their shoulders.

2

Two pairs face off in waist-to-chest-deep water, a safe distance apart.

3

On the signal, the bases wade toward each other while the top players try to grab or push the opposing top player off balance.

4

A top player who is knocked or falls off their base's shoulders loses the round for their pair.

5

The base may not grab the opposing pair directly; only the top players may grapple.

6

Play best-of-three rounds between pairs, then rotate to new matchups.
