MAILBAG! Breaking Down The AVP Schedule; The Return to Belmar; World Champs Review

Welcome back to SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter where the boys are far and wide: Bourne is at home in the studio in Hermosa Beach while Travis is out and about in the Outback, on day 9 of the 2025 Beach Volleyball World Championships in Adelaide, Australia. They catch up and chat:

• A breakdown of the 2026 AVP Schedule, looking at the AVP Major Heritage events and the glut of AVP Heritage Contender events

• Travis Mewhirter reviewing the Beach Volleyball World Championships, looking at how the crowd was, how the vibes were, who played well, who didn't

• What Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson need to do to get over the 5th place hump

• Is the honeymoon over for Andy Benesh and Miles Partain, who took a 17th at the Beach Volleyball World Championships?

• Why folks should be tuning in to beach volleyball right now (hint hint: David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig are on the scene)

• The AVP's return to one of its longtime stops: Belmar, New Jersey

• What April Ross' new role is with USA Volleyball

• Who we'd play with from the 80s and 90s eras of beach volleyball

• If we'll have Anders Mol and Christian Sorum on SANDCAST again (yes, please) - What we eat for breakfast

• Why Chicago was not disappointing at all for the AVP

SHOOTS!
