Casey Patterson is, and always has been, all in on this beach life

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Casey Patterson, one of the biggest personalities and talents on the AVP Tour since Donald Sun brought it out of bankruptcy in 2012.

In the past nine seasons, Patterson has won 14 AVPs, qualified for the Rio Olympics with Jake Gibb, and was named the AVP Team of the Year three times. He has since partnered with Stafford Slick, Theo Brunner, Chase Budinger and, once again, Theo Brunner.

On this episode of SANDCAST, we discuss

- Patterson's insane nine-day stretch in 2009 in which he won the Swedish Tour, flew back to California for the birth of his first child, flew to New York to win his first AVP with Ty Loomis.

- His journey into volleyball, including riding the bench at BYU, and living on a floor in Hawai'i with $42 and a skateboard to his name.

- The early grind of being a professional beach volleyball player, living, as he calls it, a "gypsy life," finding anyone who would play with him and doing it, no matter where in the world it would take him.

- How the Covid-19 shortened season is different from the multiple bankruptcies Patterson has experienced in the sport.

- His 2012-2016 run with Jake Gibb, and how his big personality was not only ok with Gibb, but encouraged

- The development of Casey's "hype-man" personality, otherwise known to Patterson as going "full-Hulk mode."

- His breakup with Chase Budinger, and how he handled it with more class and respect than he would have previously, because he's simply in a different phase of competing.

- His thoughts on the AVP Champions Cup, and all of the crazy partner switches currently happening.
