International Beach Games

The International Beach Games was a multi sport event that was held every two years. It started in 1994 and ended in 2010 when IBC Worldwide was bought by RaGE Media Group due to financial reasons. RaGE Media then shut down the company, citing layoffs and budget cuts.

In 2017, RaGE Media sold the rights to Axiom Entertainment and a revival is underway for summer 2018.
