Everything is Bigger in Texas -- Including Beach Volleyball! W/LJ Luciano

About this episode

LJ Luciano discusses the thriving beach volleyball community in Texas and new events in the sport.

This episode of SANDCAST features LJ Luciano, the co-founder of ATX Beach in Austin, Texas, and the longest listener we've ever had on the pod. No joke: LJ has been with us since DAY ONE. LJ and Tri Bourne talk about the growing, thriving beach volleyball community in Texas, launching new events like the city vs. city series, innovation in the sport, and a whole lot more. Fun one, and a unique one for the pod. Loved it all.
