August 29 - Finding Nemo
In the real life version of the story Nemo Komar could not be found. The last minute cancellation left Stein Metzger, Dustin Chun and Flavia Brakling short a player this past Saturday for the Duke Kahanomoku 4 Person Draw. Fortunately for team Metzger, Curt Vaughan graciously agreed to fill in, allowing the team to compete. Normally a setter, Curt was pressed into the role of the team's primary attacker. The team got stronger with each match, eventually going undefeated to win the tournament. Of course having 3 time national champion and former beach olympian, Stein setting didn't hurt. That combined with some key kills from Dustin, stellar defense from Flavia, and great team chemistry made team Metzger an unstoppable juggernaut by the end of the tournament. They defeated the 2nd place team of Justin Harris, Jeff Hall, Troy Hotz and Nadica Karleusa by a score of 11-1 in the final match.
Complete tournament results are up.

June 23, 2008 - Up and coming youngsters knocking on the door
The next generation of young talent was on display at the beach on Sunday in the two best finals of the year. First, in the women's final, 19 year old Jasmine Ma'afala teamed up with Aunty Tanya to face the #1 team of Chas Nobriga and Dawn Penebacker. Chas and Dawn won in 3 exciting games, 21-16 19-21 15-13. After winning the May tournament, a victory in July would give Chas and Dawn a clean sweep of the OVA season.
Next, in the men's final, Punahou junior Maddison McKibbin partnered with former UH All-American Tony Ching. Their match against beach veterans Alika Williams and Evan Silberstein was as close as it gets (each team won 55 points). Alika and Evan used a combination of guile and experience to overcome the young explosive duo, 23-21 17-21 15-13.
