Fred Zuelich Part 1.
Fred Discusses:
- His start in the sport as a surfer surfing at 42nd Street in El Porto and the infamous "Black Ball", which meant you couldn't surf, so he played beach volleyball during the break from surfing, his time at SDSU where he went to college, earning his way up through the ranks on the beach through the ranking system, the EPIC story from 1970 in San Diego when he was a AA player and Ron Von Hagen were both partner less and hooked up. Fred's partner never made it down from Sant Barbara as the bus broke down, and Von Hagen's partner Dane Holtzman turned Hare Krishna the night before, and Dane showed up at the tournament to let him know he couldn't play, much to Von Hagen's dismay! Then how Legendary tournament director George Stepanof played MATCH MAKER, and helped Fred and Von Hagen play together and they earned a 3rd place victory!, Fred shares how amazing that experience was playing with Von Hagen, including how elated he was to earn his AAA rating, and all the invaluable knowledge Von Hagen passed on to him that weekend, the players he looked up to on the beach when he was young and coming up, the '73 Manhattan Beach Open he and Bobby Jackson won, and the gauntlet they went through to finally win it over Matt Gage and Ron Von Hagen a week later after the first final was stopped due to darkness.
