Playtime: When pro athletes reach for a Frisbee or paddle ball, beach games become a competitive sport. No wonder surfer Prue Jeffries (seated) prefers to build a sand castle. She's wearing an Ash Francomb bikini ($145; 213-893-6995) and Elleven long board shorts ($45; 714-893-3300). On the other athletes, from left: boxer Lucia Riker's in an Everlast two-piece ($65; www.everlastusa.com); beach volleyball player Misty May is in a G.I.R.L. two-piece ($58; www.victoriasecret.com) and Oakley shades ($80; 800-403-7449); Holly McPeak, Misty's partner, is in a Speedo suit ($30 top and $30 bottom; 800-5-SPEEDO) with Oakley sunglasses ($90); boxer Shane Mosley and surfer Strider are both wearing Quiksilver ($44 each; www.quiksilver.com).
