Photos: AVP Crocs Volleyball Tour @ Hermosa Beach

[ray]

This past weekend I went out to watch the AVP Crocs Beach Volleyball Tour in Hermosa. Below are some of my favorite shots. There's a lot more over at my website (http://www.raymondkwan.com) if you're interested...and about 700 more that were either terrible or not to my liking.

{all the photos are no larger than 800x600 and less than 250kb, so i apologize if i'm posting something too big}

Nice pics! Dalhausser and Rogers are pretty unbeatable. Such a nice complement of size/athleticism & strategy/experience.

I like playing indoor but I do enjoy watching the avp every now and then as well. Can't complain about watching the women (both indoor and beach) too. They're not so bad to look at.:)

My son's high school team went to state (one of 8 teams). They lost in the first round - really didn't play their best game, but my son (outside hitter) had 17 kills in the match. Now his club team (Sports Performance) is getting ready for the nationals in Salt Lake City next month (17's open). They'll have a tough time against some of the California teams (Balboa), but I feel they have a chance at picking up a 3rd.

i love the game! back in the day, my highschool varsity team went undefeated. We played a 5/1 rotation, and i was the 1 =) it's good times setting the ball, get to touch the ball every hand. And bust a spike every once in awhile while faux setting. like i said, i love the game, one of my fav sports (besides ping pong) :)

it would be good times to bust a gotapex get together with volleyball. i don't mind playing beach cuz i dig the diving without getting hurt, but playing on a court is what i like.

Great pics, man. Sheesh, if I'd known this was going on, I would have gone out to it for sure.

The tour will be in Long Beach the last weekend of July. I may be going to that, so if I am I'll throw up a post to see if we can get a group together.

I play but not as much this summer as I'd like. I usually would play 3 nights a week and do about 2 tourneys a month and I haven't done any tourneys yet and only play 1 league night and an occasional pickup game. I play both sand and indoors.

[Yossarian]

i'm in two indoor leagues, both as a middle hitter, until the team starts passing badly, which i become just a blocker :P

Love those pics :thumb:

Roniman is a volleyball rock star! He'd be a great set man for you Yoss. Although the opposite coasts thing might be messy.

I'm a really good ball boy!
