This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features our lovely co-host, Savvy Simo, on one of our most popular somewhat monthly segments: fan questions. We had A LOT of fan questions to get through, which is why we split this into two: one on the AVP League, which just wrapped up, and this one, in which we answer, amongst many, many others:
- With Travis moving to Florida, what’s going to happen to the pod?
- How did Travis decide on the new role as an assistant on the Florida State University beach volleyball team?
- What NBA players would make for the best AVP players?
- What does Tri Bourne’s future look like? Is he sticking with Ryan Wilcox moving forward?
And a whole, whole lot more. Such a fun one, and thank y’all so much for writing in!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner, the recent AVP Manhattan Beach Open champions who followed up their epic win with an epic interview with an epic and open and candid podcast. Brunner holds back nothing in this one, as he and Crabb chat about:
What it was like for Theo Brunner, a man of so many “almosts” in his career, to finally get on the Manhattan Beach PierWhy Brunner hates the current system of the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour, and why he’s committed to being candid about his criticism of itWhy Trevor Crabb and Theo are “cautiously optimistic” about the upcoming AVP LeagueHow Trevor and Theo got bumped off the USA Volleyball funding…despite being one of the top three teams in the United States. As we said: Theo was candidAnd, per usual, much, much more.
SHOOTS!

The Hermosa Open was AWESOME, one of the purest beach volleyball tournaments we've been to in a long time. All good vibes from the players and fans, streamed on VBTV, fun new teams to watch -- all of it. And, we had some scintillating play, INCLUDING:
- A DOUBLE-FINAL on the women's side between Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes and Terese Cannon and Megan Kraft
- Finally a domestic win for Chase Budinger and Miles Evans, long-awaited, in a fun final against Miles Partain and Alex Ranghieri
- April Ross' final tournament as a sub with Lexy Denaburg
- Travis Mewhirter's final tournament as a professional, taking a fifth with Andy Benesh in a very fun run
SHOOTS!
