If you missed p1440 San Jose, I’m sorry. The USA, Brazil, Latvia, the Netherlands, they were all there. Plenty of world-class beach volleyball and outstanding plays.
p1440 did an amazing job with an event that was much more than just a volleyball tournament. For more on that, see my report on p1440 that comes out Wednesday, along with a post-event wrap-up with p1440’s Kerri Walsh Jennings and Dave Mays.
Here are my 52 favorite photos (I was trying to cut them down to 50, without success) from p1440 San Jose, I hope you enjoy them.
