Attacking
On the beach, shot selection beats raw power. Build a swing you trust, then add the shots that keep defenders guessing.
Focus on
What to watch for
- Look at the block and the defender on your approach, not the ball
- Own two shots on each side before adding a third
- Use the wind: high line shots into the wind, cuts with it
- Swing hard only when you have a clean set and a seam
