This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Silila Tucker, the most secret Hawaiian on the AVP Tour – so secret even Tri didn’t even know that Tucker spent a good chunk of his childhood summers on Oahu. We talked a ton about that, as well as:
– Tucker’s HUGE 2022 season, one that ended with a win at the Laguna Open and a third at the Huntington Beach Tour Series
– Tucker’s new partnership with Paul Lotman, and their plans to hit the international events this year
– How Tucker approached volleyball, both beach and indoors, as a professional from day one
– Why he made the decision to move to California, and the dividends it’s already paying
And, as always, so much more.
SHOOTS!

You guys should have Out of System on the cast ! I'm aware they aren't sand players typically but they do some and have excellent journeys in vball and lotsa great stories
Love these stories
Y’all should have Taylor crab on.
One of my friends would come down wearing shoes on the beach court when she had plantar fasciitis instead of taping. Are you allowed to wear shoes in AVP matches if your feet are blistered? I’ve never tried to wear shoes on the beach but I guess if you’re desperate….
Good luck this season Silila 🍀 🤙🏽 🏐
