Buh Bye Northern California...

and HELLO San Diego (again)!!! Lauren "Buh Bye!" Gibson is a woman of all trades…surfer, hiker, ultimate player by day and amazing painter, craft/jeweler, cook, health nut by night! This woman does it all! She’s had heaps of ultimate experience starting off with her Humboldt Hags, playing coed with San Diego's Bucket, Friends with Benefits, and Pleasuretown, women's with Safari, and is now the newest addition to Knock Out! She also holds many tournament championships with Chulajuana Brothel and False Itals (but sorry about your last OLOB run :-P)!

Her nickname Buh Bye! comes from one of her most favorite off season team…Hot Lava which consistently finishes in semis or finals of the infamous Kaimana Klassik tournament. Lauren is so damn fast and constantly cutting past her defenders that she's always saying “Buh Bye!”

Lauren is excited to be moving back to sunny San Diego and being on a team with regular practices. Her goals this season are to train hard with fun, positive, strong teammates and work on her longer distance throws. Her non-ultimate goals are to become a professional surfer model (that's right, she spent all last week on a surfing photo shoot!) and to figure out a way to develop her creative craftworks into a unique self owned business.

Happy Birthday Lauren Gibson...Knock Out! and all of San Diego's Ultimate players are psyched to have you back!

Team Drink

There are a lot of opinions on what to drink during a tournament. Most people will recommend something like Gatorade or another electrolyte variation. My preference, since joining KnockOut, is leaning towards this:
Thanks to Karin at Bacchus for introducing us, Chris for having his old-man birthday party featuring delicious wine, and Alice for buying 2 bottles of this.
