We’ve had tournaments at Las Vegas casinos. At parks. We’ve had them at schools and at fencing studios. Now prepare your swim trunks and sunscreen because we bring you a Lightspeed event like never before…
The Lightspeed Beach Tournament Extravaganza! is the third installment of our day-long Padded Sword and Lightspeed Saber tournament series. All Lightspeed competitors and padded sword fighters are welcome to come! It’s a unique opportunity to see some stunning lightsaber fights, practice soft sword combat, and hang out at the beach with us!
The padded sword is an experimental event for us. Almost no equipment required, as even the padded swords will be provided to you, free of charge. You’ve got nothing to lose!
There is a 90 minute dinner break between events, so bring your own picnic dinner to enjoy at the beach.
