It's pictures like these that make me want to hop on a plan to Southern California become a beach bum and just watch Women's Pro Beach Volleyball games for the rest of my days....
All players are named in picture titles.
As a side note, if your ever wondering why the bikinis they wear in Pro Beach Volleyball are so small .. it's actually a requirement(!) According to FIVB (Federal International of Volleyball) regulations (and I quote):
______________________________________________________________
24.4 Women’s Uniforms

cutaway armholes on the back, upper chest and stomach (2-piece),

GOOGLE "FIVB: Olympic Beach Volleyball Tournaments Specific Competition Regulations" for PDF of this.
So basically one would have to assume that whomever is in charge of FIVB rules and regulations is also a member of SuperiorPics Forum too!
