(Waboba) Belmar, NJ (AVP TOUR)

Belmar, NJ (AVP TOUR) is known for its mile long boardwalk and beach, its large marina that attracts many sports fishing boats, and its surfing. The annual Eastern Surfing Competition takes place there every Labor Day. When the AVP comes to town the “The Shore” becomes a place to be for all volleyball enthusiasts or those who enjoy nice weather and of course the background of professional athletes working hard is not that bad either. The weekend can be described as a big enthusiastic crowd, beautiful weather, action packed days and social nights, and a high level of volleyball featuring some of the hottest teams in the world continuing their dominance.

Waboba had an amazing booth location near one of the featured courts. The foot traffic left only a few minutes to catch a glance over the audience to see some of the action. This is one of the many stops that WABOBA is fundraising to benefit To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. If you were not at the Belmar AVP and would like to support TWOLOHA make sure you look at the SpikeKey tour page and map out the next event where you can buy the WABOBA SPORT balls signed by SpikeKey team players. 100% OF ALL THE FUNDS COLLECTED WILL GO TO TWLOHA.

Three generations of master distillers hand craft Kilo Kai in small batches on an island 50 miles north of Venezuela that was once home to pirates and American revolutionaries. Then we barrel age it for three years so it when it hits the bottom of a shot glass or splashes across an icy spate of rocks, it’s free of impurities and filler, golden brown, and smooth as silk. http://www.kilokai.com
