31st Dino Tournament

31 Years of Aloha, Competition, and Community

Each year, the sands of Hawaii welcome back a special tradition, one that’s been going strong for over three decades.

This tournament isn’t just about the wins and losses; it’s about the people who return year after year, the friendships that have stood the test of time, and the unforgettable memories made on and off the court.

The tournament brings together seasoned players who know the game inside and out, competing on the classic big court that keeps the rallies long and the action exciting. There’s a rhythm to it—a mix of experience, strategy, and heart that you just don’t find anywhere else.

Here are a few of my favorite captures from this year’s tournament. Scroll down for links to the full gallery and relive the plays and laughters of this years tournament

A special thanks to David, Stephanie, Zack, and Jess for another incredible event. Huge thanks to all the people behind the scenes that make this tournament so fun.

Fonz and Alan you both are incredible.

And this tournament would not be anything that it is without the help of the entire Fox family.

Thank you Jason and Aubrey for all that you do and the time that you give so generously.

Thank you !!!! Love you guys.

The Dino Tournament 2022

When I first arrived in Hawaii I was in awe of its beauty. The lush green forest and the picturesque beaches with waves for days. But it truly is the people that I met that won my heart. Here is a Link to the photos I shot at my first Dino Tournament. Big thanks to Mango for getting me there and for giving me a spot to crash for the event and for David and Stephanie for running a smooth event from start to finish.

David, Phil, Fonz.

At the end of the tournament they have the awards and they gave out two Aloha spirit awards, I was blessed with one of them. This award means more to me that if i had won the Tournament. It will go in my room with my other special things I have collected from big moments in my life. Good and bad. This one is a Great one.

Fonz is the man!!!! so glad I got to spend some quality time with this due!!!!

Manhattan Beach CBVA Mens Tournament, March 2022 by Philip Burrow.

Even though I didn’t play in the tournament, that did not stop me from going to the beach with my camera bag on my bicycle. Lets face it, why would I drive when gas is $6.50 per gal right now??

I had a lot of friends playing in the tournament and I love the CBVA. So win win for me. I get to be at the beach, ride my bike, watch my friends play and take photos.

What a Life!!

Here are a few pics from the day and a link to all my selects below. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading.
