This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features Mark Paaluhi, the man behind the improbably successful Hermosa Open – and the man who extended it to a three-year deal, bringing the Hermosa Open back through 2027 at least.

Why Paaluhi felt the sport needed a professional event in Hermosa, and why it needed to be pure: a true double-elim, and a true open format
What he learned from last year’s Hermosa Open
The importance of grassroots marketing via getting players out on the town to market events themselves
What so many people are getting wrong with the sport – and how the Hermosa Open is laying the groundwork to getting it right
And so much more. Awesome chat with the 2024 Man of The Year
