"Their similar styles are what brought them together. Fans are drawn to Ring's high-flying, acrobatic style that has earned him the nickname "Hydraulica" and Roumain's 6 foot-7, 260 pound frame that sometimes gets him mistaken for a pro wrestler. Ring and Roumain are among the most exciting and entertaining players on tour with a successfull win at the 2004 Huntington Beach Open. They are the most physically developed athletes on tour, which has made them the rising male stars of beach volleyball."
