Inside Barra de la Cruz culture with Mateus Herdy | NO CONTEST Mexico

No Contest comes to you from deep in Oaxaca, Mexico, as the Corona Open Mexico serves up warm water barrels and point break perfection at Barra de la Cruz, for the first time since the iconic Rip Curl Search was won here by Andy Irons in 2006.

Stab’s Ashton Goggans is back to give you a backstage tour of all things local, from veteran surf-guides of the region to up-and-coming surfers to keep an eye on. We ride shotgun with event wildcards Mateus Herdy and Rio Waida as the two global talents hone their craft alongside the world’s best, all while putting on a free-surfing clinic under a sizzling Pacific sun.

Mateus and Rio wrap things up in the kitchen to prepare some local cuisine and raise a toast to another successful edition of No Contest. Salud!

Vans Stab High Non-Chlorine Presented by Monster Energy - Episode 3

Over the course of a 10-day boat trip through the Mentawai Islands—surfing’s original wavepark—Vans Stab High, Non-Chlorine, presented by Monster Energy seeks to shatter all previous aerial benchmarks. Bigger, faster, higher, and more technical is what we're after.

Devoted to above-the-lip surfing, judges Nathan Fletcher and Mikey February signed on to score every air of the trip. Basing their scores on amplitude, style, and progression, from launch to landing, every aspect of the maneuver will be scrutinized on a scale of 1 to 10.

Each surfer’s highest-scoring right and left air will count toward their total score. Whoever finishes the trip with the highest two-wave total will become the Stab High winner and $12,000 richer.

On top of this, every surfer will also have an opportunity to win Vans Stab High’s Monster Air Award presented by Monster Energy. The prize goes to the highest, most generally outrageous air of the trip.

There’s another $3,000 up for grabs in the Vans Ladybirds division, which features four of the most talented and air-minded (but not air-headed) young women in surfing.

World-class talent from around the world has got onboard for Vans Stab High, Non-Chlorine, presented by Monster Energy. In the men’s division, the list of competitors includes:
Al Cleland, Tanner Gudauskas, Eric Geiselman, Matt Meola, Ian Crane, Crosby Colapinto, Brendon Gibbens, Sebastian Williams, Kevin Schulz, Bronson Meydi and Rio Waida

The Vans Ladybirds lineup includes:
Caitlin Simmers, Bella Kenworthy, Erin Brooks, Sierra Kerr

Why Jeffrey's Bay Is The Surf Tour's Favourite Stop. | No Contest

No Contest goes off as the world's best surfers tackle the world's best pointbreak. Come backstage to dance with the Devil Wind and get up close and personal with the ocean's heaviest locals.
Every year the world tour rolls into South Africa, and every year something happens that stops surfing's world. In 2017 we gasped as Filipe Toledo put on a seminal performance, alongside a perfect 20 from Jordy Smith. The year before we gasped at Mick Fanning's epic comeback victory, 12 months on from his infamous run-in with the most dangerous local of them all. And this time around it was the addition of the women's field to the draw, as well as another incendiary effort from Toledo, that will keep the chatter alive long into the future.

Sebastian Williams (17) Total Solar Eclipse August

Do you remember Seb Williams, the unsponsored kid who came out of nowhere to win the 2015 Quiksilver King of the Groms event? Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson sent him to the final in Brazil? Of course you do!

Well, Seb just dropped a new video, with Hawaiian barrels from big Sunset, crazy-spit Pipe and long fast Backdoor; never before seen secret pointbreak waves with a beautiful inside-out 'green room' tube view in Mexico; and two of the biggest airs ever filmed at Jeffreys Bay. Plus an alley oop that eclipsed the sun!

And that's not all! There's a dog that walks on water almost, fluffy swimming birds kinda, psychedelic butterflies ok, a romantic river beach, handstand girls in Hawaii yes, spectacular dune field seashore panoramas, and more.

Plus it comes with a double your money back guarantee that you'll watch it twice or more. For a glimpse of surfing's future, you can't miss this vid!
