Welcome back to Beach Access, presented by SHIELD, where Travis Mewhirter and Kyle Friend recap all things Beach Volleyball wherever they are in the world. This weekend, they were in Montreal for the Beach Pro Tour Elite, where Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson successfully defended their gold medal in 2023, as did Anders Mol and Christian Sorum. 

They chat all about that, as well as:

- What an incredible event the promoter put on and why we hope it continues

- The return of Ana Patricia Silva and Duda Lisboa

- Another f****** Sweden team is quickly becoming a problem on the Beach Pro Tour in Jacob Holting-Nilsson and Elmer Andersson

- Teams making the biggest moves in the World Champs race, including Germany's Lui Wust and Paul Henning

SHOOTS!
