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!
