Randy Stoklos is still the King of the Beach

Randy Stoklos is still the King of the Beach

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is with one of the greatest players of all-time, with 123 victories, including four at the Manhattan Beach Open.

More than that, Stoklos, along with his partner, Sinjin Smith, is one of the most influential individuals in beach history, instrumental in pushing beach volleyball worldwide. Without Stoklos and Smith, it's possible the sport would not currently be in the Olympic Games.

On this episode, we cover a lot of ground, including:

- Stoklos' upbringing with his father, Rudy, a Polish immigrant who escaped a concentration camp in Nazi Germany.

- Winning the Manhattan Beach Open at age 20 with the legendary Jim Menges

- How he and Sinjin Smith partnered, both of them turning down an offer from Karch Kiraly to do so

- Stoklos' and Sinjin's epic 11-year partnership, in which they won more tournaments (115) than any team in beach volleyball history

- Their push for the FIVB, and international volleyball

- An incredible story from Ipanema, where he and Smith were dubbed the Kings of Rio

- So much more. Honestly, just listen. It's amazing. You'll love it.
