A red flag is nailed to a stick at the end of the pole which is then heavily greased. It is not uncommon for these daring individuals to come away with scrapes, bruises or even broken ribs. Once a contestant captures the flag he then swims to the beach with all the other contestants. He is then lifted onto to the shoulders of his fellow walkers and paraded around the town.
