This weekend, the AVP Crocs Tour sets up camp in Belmar, N.J. While many players call the beaches of California their home, the only player to grow up on the Jersey Shore is eight-year AVP veteran, AJ Mihalic.
New Jersey is known for its pizza, nice suburban communities and beautiful changing seasons, and no one is more familiar with these characteristics than Mihalic. He grew up in Wall Township, N.J., and spent his summers on the beaches of Belmar.
As a kid in New Jersey, Mihalic remembers camping, fishing and hiking with family and friends. When he wasn't on the beach, he and his friends would set up a game of tackle football. "Well, it was tackle until the day that I got two and a half teeth knocked out," he explained.
