The AVP season kicked off with the Huntington Beach Open this past weekend and our full contingent of photographers were on the scene: Mark Rigney, Rick Atwood, Will Chu, Allen Szto and Jim Wolf.

They shoot thousands of photos at a tournament and then spend hours culling through them. The following gallery represents their best, and there are some fantastic shots.

And, as always, players, if you use any of these for social media, please be sure to credit the photographer. Click on any photo to view full size:
