Two Happy

Exponential happiness is here.

Two Happy, a performance shortboard model created by Britt Merrick, is the result of working with Dane Reynolds, Parker Coffin, Mikey February and more. Two Happy takes all the speed, flow and maneuverability of the original Happy but makes it more accessible and user friendly for a broader range of surfers and conditions.

With added entry rocker and increased double concave, the Two Happy is looser, rolls rail to rail more easily, and carves better in the pocket.

Our team describes the board as exceptionally fast, responsive, and under the feet. The fuller rails and wider, thicker tail block provide ease of paddle, ride, and acceleration.

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

Who Landed The Biggest Air In The Best Surf Film Of The Year?| Pentacoastal B-Sides

If Pentacoastal isn’t your favorite surf film from this year, you should find a new optician. Wade Goodall and Shane Fletcher crafted one of the most taint-tingling surf flicks I’ve seen in a minute.

Luckily, our boy Danny J has been kind enough to break the film into 3 segments, so our feeble minds can digest it in small doses. This is due to the fact that watching it all at once may be overstimulating for some viewers, plus most of us only get 15-minute lunch breaks.

Part Three of the B-Sides Series showcases a bunch of moments that simply didn’t fit the tropics part of "Pentacoastal".

PENTACOASTAL: The B-Sides Series - Part One | Surf | VANS

Part One of the B-Sides Series showcases a recollection from a strike trip whilst filming for Pentacoastal. Plagued with eggy winds and a junky swell this wave only broke on two of the days we were there. But we snapped through the groundhog days and in an attempt to avoid the crowds at this particular reef Dane, Wade & Tanner only surfed on the dead-low tides. Filming from the water, Shane Fletcher's knees were scratching the reef on most waves but we made some fun out of it!
