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, whatâs 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 Bourneâs future look like? Is he sticking with Ryan Wilcox moving forward?
And a whole, whole lot more. Such a fun one, and thank yâall so much for writing in!

Welcome back to Beach Access, where Kyle Friend and Travis Mewhirter break down, preview, recap, analyze, and chat all things beach volleyball. After a week in Germany for the Hamburg Elite16, the boys are back stateside and heading to AVP Chicago, the final stop on the AVP calendar, where there are huge AVP League implications. We chat about:
- What every team needs to do to qualify for the AVP League
- Why we believe April Ross and Alix Klineman will get a wild card, making it an even tighter race for the women
- Why the contender's bracket on Saturday will be the most interesting aspect of the weekend
- Why Travis is all-in on a heroic run from Tri Bourne and Ryan Wilcox to make the league -- zero bias here!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Ryan Wilcox, the next talent coming out of Hawaii in a long, long list of them. Bourne sent some shockwaves through the beach volleyball world when he dropped Chaim Schalk and picked up Wilcox, leaving some wondering: Who in the world is Ryan Wilcox? We cover that and then some during this episode in which we chat about:
Wilcoxâs upbringing in Hawaii, surrounded by McKibbins and Crabbs and all of the names weâre so familiar withWhy he chose to go to UC Santa Barbara, and how a 6-foot-2 outside hitter was named four-time AVCA All-AmericanWhat it was like when he got the call from Bourne to become his partnerHow beach volleyball was always his planned path as opposed to indoorAnd much, much more.
