Bourne on the Beach S2 E3: Win-or-Bust, insane storm and side bets

Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk came into AVP New Orleans as the heavy favorites. Four of the top six seeds were playing in the ‪@BeachVolleyballWorld‬ Saquarema Challenge, so this made for some win-or-bust expectations for our SANDCAST host. So in his first AVP tournament with his new partner, Schalk, he had to navigate not only these expectations but also an insane 2 hr storm that literally tore down the venue and created the viral Jumbo Wilson Volleyball sky ball video. Not to mention other player betting against them as they watched from overseas.

Love these videos. Definitely has the feel of the McKibbins with the depth of field. I saw Riley in it. Did they shoot any of this? If so, love it.

[@SANDCASTPodcast]

Riley was in Italy when we filmed this haha all filming and editing was Frito!

Bourne and Schalk look like the clear #1 USA men's team. Excited to see how high they can go this year.

[@beachvolleyball2713]

How do you figure? They haven't played vs Crabb/Sander, Crabb/Brunner, Benesh/Partain, Budinger/Evans or Phil and whoever he's playing with.

[@yardene3426]

@@beachvolleyball2713 The only deciding match there is Benesh/Partain. They have the highest ranking international at #45 but that includes matches prior to 2023. They took 5th the last two tournaments, one of which was an Elite 16. Plus won their first AVP tournament together. IMO they seem like the team to beat at the moment and have the most upscale. Also, pretty sure Phil retired from international VB.

[@SANDCASTPodcast]

Huntington will be a good litmus test for who the top team is
