When Washington State has been good, they've always had a connection to Southern California. You know, as far as visiting, that's different than recruiting. Recruiting is based on production and players, who you can get. You know, so, the nicest parts of Southern California aren't necessarily the best players.

The regular pro tour focuses on just the very few top players. But it doesn't focus on the other thousands of passionate volleyball players out there.

I certainly think it's ironic that beach volleyball was first played in the 1930s in Santa Monica and tournaments of a high caliber have been happening in this country since the 1940s, and the FIVB, for many years, has ignored beach volleyball.

I never thought I would go to Gaza. It's incredibly difficult to get into, and when you get there, it's a war zone. Then they have this beach, and there's this incredible, vibrant beach culture there, which is something that I grew up with in Southern California.

Hailey Gates

I was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California. I was very athletic, playing volleyball and softball. I did gymnastics for about ten years, too.

Jasmine Tookes

I think my best memories are when I go home to California and I get play beach volleyball with my friends from home.

Gigi Hadid

I'd like to thank everyone who has given me the opportunity to play with the best beach volleyball players in the world.

Ivan Perisic

There is a lot of California in my... sound, and a ton of it is the laid-back nature of Southern Californians and the beach.

Brett Young

Started playing indoor volleyball in 5th grade. Started playing club volleyball when I was 15. Played in high school and at Florida Gulf Coast University. Started playing beach volleyball after graduating from FGCU.

From the mid-'70s to the mid-'90s, that was the golden age of the beach volleyball mystique. I was absolutely mesmerized by the best players of that time.

I grew up in Southern California so I was always at the beach and outdoors. I remember my dad laying around the pool baking; he was practically George Hamilton.

Going to the Huntington gardens and libraries was radically important for me. They have one of the best collections of 18th- and 19th-century British portraiture that you can imagine in Southern California. One doesn't think about Southern California as being the capital of great art.
