Christopher St. John “Sinjin” Smith is regarded as one of the Greatest Player in Beach Volleyball History and noted for being the original “King of the Beach.” His accomplishments in the sport are unparalleled and his contributions to the development of beach volleyball have helped to put the sport on the map.

Together with longtime partner, Randy Stoklos, Sinjin became the first player to reach 100 career open victories, and still remains atop the leader board to this day with 146 recorded victories, not to mention countless numbers of other wins at tournaments throughout the world. In 1977, Sinjin played in his first career event with Ron Von Hagen and won his first event that same year with Mike Norman. Since that first event, Sinjin has claimed 11 International and World Championships in his 23-year career, more than any other player. He has twice won “King of the Beach” Invitationals, the Tournament of Champions and is a multiple winner of the coveted Manhattan Beach Open.
