Steve Topazio and Dick Huggins met at the Newport Labor Day AIA Sand Castle contest in 2001 and
Sandtasia was born. Each recognizing each others talents, the teaming up and the combination of their
creative minds was just the logical thing to do. Steve's sister - Jessica DiCostanzo and Dick's son -
Richard Huggins II - joined Sandtasia soon after it was formed
Sandtasia has been entertaining people on Rhode Island beaches and special events ever since. In
between, they compete as a team when the opportunity arises and in 2004 won the Crane Sand Blast
Master division, which is considered the New England championship.
Steve says “If it stays together, we can carve it into anything.”
