Welcome back to SANDCAST, where Travis Mewhirter breaks down the recent Hermosa Beach Open presented by Wedbush Securities, where:

Megan Kraft finally did it, winning her first professional tournament

Kelly Cheng won her THIRD STRAIGHT Hermosa, becoming the first to do so since Barb Fontana in 1981, 82, 83

Andy Benesh and Taylor Crabb won via forfeit over Miles Partain and Jacob LaBouliere, furthering the theory that maybe they did sell their souls

Big performances from Savvy Cory and Devon Newberry, Thais Treumann and Andressa Cavalcanti, Molly Shaw and Brecht Piersma, and more

Welcome back to SANDCAST, where we are in the stands of the Gilles Villeneuve, home of the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Montreal Elite previewing what is the final scheduled beach volleyball event of the 2026 season. We're chatting:

Can Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson win a third straight gold medal at home?

Anders Mol and Christian Sorum are looking to do the same -- in the last event we will see from them until mid-May, as Mol reports to his indoor Italian club on August 29

Can anyone stop Kristen Cruz and Taryn Brasher, who have lost just one match this entire season on the Beach Pro Tour?

Will Andy Benesh and Taylor Crabb remain inevitable, as they were during their unblemished run to the Manhattan Beach Open title?

And more!

The boys are FINALLY back together, for the first and last time of 2026, as Tri Bourne, Travis Mewhirter, and Trevor Crabb and family shoot the breeze in a family reunion episode. What do we talk about? A little bit of everything, using Tri's road trip as the backbone of the episode. It's a long and winding and tremendously fun ride.
