This is going to be tough ,adopting a local team to get behind . I’m far enough away to immunise myself from the continuing Afl pain that Stkilda inflict.In the SouthBay there doesn’t seem to be a connect to any tribal following to a sporting team. We are on the beach and that dictates a certain relaxed approach to the big sports. I do like NFL and basketball but there’s no connect ,yet. There is one sport that they truly love here. Now I love all sport but this is one that truly irritates because, yes I wasn’t that good at it , but who’d want to play this game all the fucking time . Beach volleyball is king here and it’s a thriving business in the Southbay. This area hothouses some of the best beach volleyballers in the USA ,in particular the women . Everyday you see professional coaches tutoring young girls ,grown women and men all along the strand. This weekend is the Hermosa Open and it’s a big thing . A stadium , televised event on the sand with huge numbers of people swarming the area. Yes I like their outfits and the way they pull their bikini up their arse but this feels like an elitist game for show ponies and tall people . I just want to dump it on this game but I guess if I was 6ft 4 and , ripped to the shithouse and paid to play or coach it i’d think I was pretty shit hot too.
this is their version of going to the footy . Yep plenty of high 5s and whooping it up here . Yawn Sorry Mick and Mark Jansen , Geoff Grocott and even Dave Gow but I admit I was fucken jealous that I was shit at this game .
