This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Mark Paaluhi, the man who is currently keeping professional beach volleyball alive in Hermosa Beach. How? By running a city-held Hermosa Beach Open. When the city and the AVP couldn’t come to terms on an event in 2024, Paaluhi stepped up and has since taken the reins. The 2024 Hermosa Beach Open will be held September 4-7 in Hermosa Beach, California. There will be a qualifier on September 4, while the main draw will be held on the 5, 6, and 7. Volleyball TV will be streaming the event. For more information and how to support, go to https://hermosa-open.com/
We chat all about that, as well as:
Why Paaluhi decided to take on the monster task of putting on a major tournamentHow popcorn was his ultimate lightbulb momentWhat Hermosa Beach means to the beach volleyball communityWhy it will be an old school feel to this tournament, and why Paaluhi thinks that’s the way of the sport moving forwardSHOOTS!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Ben O’Dea and Brad Fuller. They’re New Zealand’s top beach volleyball team, and will be competing in China this weekend for one last shot at an Olympic berth through the Asian Continental Cup. The O’Dea name has been synonymous with New Zealand beach volleyball for years, as Ben and his brother, Sam, were essentially the only ones doing it full-time. But with the return of Jason Lochhead, the federation pumped in more funding, and has been on a steady improvement ever since. We chat all about that, as well as:
Why O’Dea and Fuller feel like they’re on the precipice of a major breakthroughWhy both Fuller and O’Dea didn’t want to retire before partnering with the other oneWhat an Olympic bid would mean to the New Zealand beach volleyball federationWhy Jason Lochhead’s return was such a big dealAnd, as always, much, much more.

On this episode of the Road to Paris, Travis Mewhirter breaks down the European Continental Cup -- a fancy way of saying Olympic trial -- where France's Arnaud Gauthier-Rat and Teo Rotar, and Julien Lyneel and Remi Bassereau went absolute clutch mode and clinched a second Olympic spot for the French men.
Meanwhile, four young Dutch women, Brecht Piersma and Wies Bekhuis, and Kirsten Broring and Emi van Driel, won the bid for the women...or so you might think. But a weird rule in the Netherlands has muddied things up a bit, and Mewhirter explains what in the world is happening (as best he can).
Thanks as always to Producers 1 and 2, for you, the viewers. Happy Father's Day all!

The insane work ethic required to pursue Olympic quad after Olympic quad after Olympic quad as Ross did for these past 20 yearsHow vastly different their preparation for matches and tournaments is now that they’re both momsHow becoming a mother has impacted their view of and role in the sportWhy they’re still playing, and still as competitive as everAnd so much more. Such a fun chat with April and Alix – the A Plus Team.

This episode of the Road to Paris, where Travis Mewhirter breaks down the race to the Paris Olympic Games, is a breakdown and analysis after the Stare Jablonki Challenge. There remains just one event left: The Ostrava Elite16, which begins next Wednesday. Even after all the action in Poland, no races were determined in Stare Jablonki. Mewhirter breaks down:
Why it’s finals or bust for Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner and Alex Brouwer and Robert MeeuwsenWhy Stare Jablonki was the perfect storm at the worst time for Sarah Pavan and Molly McBain – but the best time for Lili Fernandez and Paula SoriaWhat Marco Grimalt and Esteban Grimalt need to do in order to pass Austria’s Julian Horl and Alex HorstWhat Karla Borger and Sandra Ittlinger need to do to pass Laura Ludwig and Louisa LippmannWhat Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader need to do to pass Zoe Verge-Depre and Esmee BobnerWhy Sophie Bukovec and Heather Bansley will represent Canada at the Continental Cup instead of Pavan and McBainWhat a race!

We’re going indoors, with one of the greatest liberos of all-time in Erik Shoji. In Paris, Erik will make his third Olympic roster, in search of his second Olympic medal (he won a bronze in 2016). We cover quite a bit in this insightful chat, including:
His childhood, as the son of the legendary Dave Shoji and younger brother of Kawika, an all-American setter as well as an OlympianHow Michael Gervais’ new book, the First Rule of Mastery, led to a huge breakthrough this season from a mental standpointHow he has never been burned out, despite playing the same position since his freshman year of college at StanfordThe beauties and challenges of life overseasAnd so, so much more. Erik is incredibly well-spoken and thoughtful, and this is an episode y’all will surely enjoy!

Big congrats, first, to Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth who made a third straight final and took gold, and Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, who made their eighth straight final and also won gold. As far as the Olympic race goes, Mewhirter talks about:

For Daniela Alvarez and Tania Moreno, 22-year-old Spaniards who are making history – and then returning to TCUAnouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader stay alive with a ninthThank you as always for watching and listening, and thank you, as always, to Producers 1 and 2 for the help!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features America’s most popular team: Taylor Crabb and Taylor Sander. A note: We recorded this interview before their win at AVP Huntington Beach, which, to us, actually makes this all the more interesting. Aside from being two of the best volleyball players on the planet, they’re also refreshingly candid, forthcoming, and well-spoken and introspective. This was an excellent, excellent podcast. We chat about:
Taylor Crabb’s off-season in New Zealand playing with Phil DalhausserWhy Taylor Sander and Crabb decided that the Olympic race wasn’t necessarily for themCrabb’s bigger mission, and why he’s chasing far more than individual accomplishmentsHow Crabb and Sander would fix USA VolleyballThe Right Siide, Crabb’s new content venture with Troy Field and Sean RosenthalAnd much, much more.
Such a good episode with the Taylors!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Evan Cory, one of the brightest talents on the AVP Tour and within the USA Volleyball system. Cory had an up-and-down 2023 season, one that was still more up than it was down, but his trajectory slowed, so he felt it was a failure. It certainly wasn’t – but he learned from it. Now, coming into 2024, he’s returned to his old style of playing, building a team around him that is custom-fit to him, including a blocker you may have heard of: Alison Cerutti. We talked all about that, as well as:
Why the standard Californian path to professional beach volleyball isn’t necessarily for CoryHow he and Alison came to beHow Joey Keener and his coach on the West Coast (Mewhirter) have helped Cory return to his core identity as a player and what this off-season looked likeHis early success on the NORCECA circuit this year with Wyatt HarrisonAnd, of course, the art of trash talkAnd, as always, a whole lot more.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features a new guest! Abby Van Winkle joins the podcast fresh off a successful debut on the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour, in which she and Savvy Simo – who also joins as a host/guest – won a bronze medal at a NORCECA before stunning Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader in the qualifier of the Guadalajara Challenge to make main draw. Van Winkle has been an up and coming talent for a while now, beginning when she was a freshman at UCLA, winning the NCAA Championship. We talk about all of that on the pod, as well as:
How Van Winkle found the confidence to think she could beat Verge-Depre and Mader, Olympic bronze medalistsThe difference she sees between NCAA beach volleyball and AVP and Beach Pro Tour level playWhat her expectations of being a professional were and how different it is to live the life of a professional beach volleyball playerHer goals as a player, and why nursing school can wait a bit longer (maybe a lot longer)And, as always, a whole lot more.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features our most popular guest of all-time: Zana Muno. Zana has had the most interesting few years, playing with some of the greatest in the game – Sarah Pavan, Brandie Wilkerson, Kerri Walsh Jennings, to name a few – but has struggled to maintain consistency on the court. Feeling burned out after a last place finish at AVP Chicago a year ago, she applied to a farming program she’d dreamed of attending – and was accepted. This winter, she took a two-month sabbatical from volleyball to learn all things outdoors, from shepherding goats to butchering animals to learning the finer nuances of seeds and agriculture. Now, she’s back on the beach, chatting on the podcast about:
Her trip to Italy, and how much she learned about herself in the processHer newfound love and appreciation for beach volleyball, and how much the trip reinforced that loveWhat it was like to play with Kerri Walsh JenningsThe impact she wants to have on the game’s younger generationsAnd so much more. Such a fun and open and honest conversation with Zana Muno.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features two of Norway’s Beach Volley Vikings: Hendrik Mol and Mathias Berntsen. Hendrik and Berntsen are enjoying a normal learning curve and path to success, a several-years buildup that seems almost flat when compared to the rocket ship that has been Anders Mol and Christian Sorum. If the Olympics were to happen today, for the first time ever, Norway would have two teams in the Games. That’s how good Hendrik and Berntsen – cousins – have become. We chat all about that, as well as:
How Mathias Berntsen and Anders Mol predicted Norway would win gold at the Tokyo Olympics – in 2015, when they were still in high schoolHendrik Mol’s life of adversity, nearly going blind while playing for the University of HawaiiHow Norway lost four sponsorships after winning gold at the Olympics, and why the Olympics may be taking too big of a role in beach volleyballWhat it’s been like to be a part of the rise of Anders Mol and Christian Sorum and their meteoric riseAnd, as always, so much more.
