“Corona Light Wide Open Beach Volleyball”
June 27, 2010
On Saturday I headed south to Huntington Beach and had a day well spent at the beach watching the “Corona Light Wide Open Beach Volleyball” tournament. True to its title, it is one of the few true beach volleyball competitions that plays by the rules and is intended to be “True to the Game”.
Although the tournament directors are Karch Kiraly and Charlie Frank, we didn’t bump into them. It was an incredibly festive, beach party atmosphere in addition, to a qualifying event for people to compete to win incredible prizes. Actually it was fantastic just being out in the sun and sand with the surf in the background.
Jennifer Wilson was working with Oakley sunglasses and goggles, by being filmed hosting videos, interviewing athletes, and promoting upcoming Oakley events. It was awesome to hang out with the Oakley people and see some of the new awesome sunglasses that they have for this summer – perfect for playing volleyball at the beach or just looking cool protecting your eyes. We tried some on in the Oakley trailer store that they had set up at the beach. Oakley follows a philosophy that beauty means more than just looking good in sunglasses. There is power and grace in the female form and they constantly strive to support those qualities by reinventing the concepts of comfort, fit, and style. Oakley women don’t just perform. They perform beautifully. I really like that in a company that is protecting my eyes at the beach!
One of the locations Jennifer reported from was at the top of the rock climbing wall! At 6’2″ Jennifer is tall, but the wall was definitely taller – even she had to climb to get to the top!
It was a perfect Saturday spent watching beach volleyball. When we weren’t watching a tournament we walked up and down the beach. Now granted we were in our flip flops so it wasn’t quite a power walk, but more of a stroll. We couldn’t really count it as a workout, but it would fall in the category of “lifestyle activity”. This just means that we were burning calories at a moderate pace while enjoying things we would normally do! A great day at the beach!!
