Waupaca Boatride Photos

I played in the Waupaca Boatride Volleyball tournament in mid-July. It’s one of the biggest volleyball events, and is held annually in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I took the below photos after playing sand doubles and Friday and before playing grass triples on Saturday.

AVP Milwaukee

Milwaukee really comes alive in the summer. Below are photos taken when the AVP (domestic pro beach volleyball tour) stopped at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee July 4 weekend. With John Hyden/Tri Bourne and Kerri Walsh Jennings/April Ross being the champions. See all the photos here.
