My first opportunity to see pro beach volleyball happened purely by chance, in 1985 or 1986. Up until that time, I had only seen pictures and read about it in Volleyball Monthly magazine. I lived in Pennsylvania, home from college for the summer, and pretty far away from any tour stop. But I happened to be in Chicago visiting a friend the same weekend that the Chicago Open was happening.
This was back in the days when there were no bleachers and no admission prices. I just sat in the sand beside the court with my camera and took some great action shots of Smith/Stoklos, Hovland/Dodd, OB, and the rest. Alas, Karch was away with the National Team at the time.
The AVP has come a long way since then, but that informal atmosphere was a great way to see my first AVP tournament!
