It started with a kiss. In 1955, that’s what the best beach volleyball players in the world played for: A kiss from Hollywood star Greta Thyssen. It was a seminal moment for the sport, and the subculture that it soon birthed: Players could ditch the 9-5 work life and instead spend their days on the beach, working odd jobs to make ends meet, doing whatever it took to stay on the sand.

Excellent history of Beach Volleyball
Revisado: 12-05-22
This is an excellent historical account of the history of beach volleyball and the rise and fall of the AVP tour. I have listened to Travis Merwhirter's podcast Sandcast which turned me on to the book. Travis does a great job recounting the history of beach volleyball from multiple perspectives with a cohesive narrative. I wish Kent Steffes would have narrated the book since he has such a big personality. I realize that also might be self indulgent since Kent is easily considered one of the sports greatest players because of all his winning accomplishments. As one who plays beach volleyball and grew up watching the 'Kings of Summer' when they were broadcast on tv, this book was thoroughly enjoyable and walked me through memory lane of the rise of beach volleyball in the 90's.
