We enjoy great athletes and in the case of female volley ball players we admire the great physical condition that they keep themselves in. Best of both worlds to us!

But can you name another sport where, by your own admission, 10% of the attendees are there purely for the eye candy? (Based on my observation of the fans in attendance at the Huntington Beach Open, I'd say that's a conservative estimate.) Beach volleyball is a great sport in its own right, but there's no debating the fact that its popularity increased as the coverage of the suits decreased.

Also, many former high-level indoor volleyball players resort to the sand when the pounding on their joints is too much. This played a major role in Misty's transition to the beach. As for the micro-bikinis, you should take a trip to any Southern California beach to see the players suits cover a lot in comparison. The micro-bikinis are usually worn by foreign players who are accustomed to these suits. I attend a few of the AVP events a year, and at least 90 percent of the people I see are avid volleyball enthusiasts, including many of the "photographers". There still are some creepos, such as yourself, who get a cheap thrill out of a dirty peak. Many physical therapists recommend sand as a great rehabilitation tool.

Sand definitely helps with balance and lower leg (and core) strength because it is so tough to cut and jump.

The comment that interested me most is the one from your wife about sand being harder on your ankles. I've played for almost three decades, and find that the sand is the most forgiving of surfaces including grass and hard floor. Sand could even strengthen the ankles. I could easily be wrong about this since it is just a feeling. Now I have to ask around to get a difinitive answer. And, yeah, definately a sexy sport I just read your piece.
