Vans Stab High Non-Chlorine Presented by Monster Energy - Episode 2

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.

Did Tanner Gudauskas Take Our Jobs? | Digital Surf, Digital World

We were so busy enjoying his covid-inspired content spree that we failed to recognize the dangerous truth of the matter: Tanner Gudauskas is taking our jobs.

He's not being coy about it, either. He's just getting up in front of a camera every damn day, popping a VHS in the telly, and streaming it live for the world to see. Often, Tanner even gets pro surfers on the phone to talk about things. Meanwhile Zoltan screens our calls.

Doesn't Tanner know that we've trained our entire lives to reach this level of semi-acceptable mediocrity? Doesn't he care?

Channel Islands Surf Team Goes Ham on Spine-Teks

Watch the Channel Islands Surfboard Team enjoying the benefits of a surfboard technology that offers next-level performance advantages you can truly feel. With any CI model built in Spine-Tek, you'll find that this Eco-Certified construction does the following: Redirects faster, is livelier & more sensitive, and maintains its flex memory.

Optimized Flex Available in Three Sizes:
Small - 25.9 Liters & below
Medium - 26 - 36.5 Liters
Large - 36.6 Liters & Over

"Spine-Teks are super light and frisky,” says Sebastian Zietz. "You get lots of load and spring off the bottom, and through turns. It’s definitely the future of surfboards.”

Spine-Tek built boards are more responsive, and, like a spring, they wind up on energy, provide pop, accelerate out of turns whilst holding speed down the line, and the “spine” keeps its flex pattern unlike timber which loses it over time.

"These Spine-Tek boards have reinvented the way I’m looking at small waves,” explains Pat Gudauskas. "The boards are lighter, faster and have great pop—it’s opened up more speed and overall creativity."

Surfer in order of appearence: Dane Reynolds, Parker Coffin, Eithan Osbourne, Noah Waggy, Luke Swanson, Tanner Gudauskas, Pat Gudauskas, Michael Dunphy, Connor O'Leary, Yadin Nicol.

STAB HIGH: Aerial Surfing's New Wave Pool Frontier | World of X Games

The "World of X Games" presents Stab High: Aerial Surfing's New Wave Pool Frontier, featuring some of the world's best air surfers, innovating and progressing their brand of surfing through wave pool technology.

No coaches, no training, no exercise balls: Paddle out with your friends, have fun and rekindle the spirit of the surfing you grew up on.

FishBeard by Channel Islands Surfboards

Watch Channels Islands Surfboards' team shred the super fun and fast twin-keel fin design called the FishBeard.

Surfers in order of appearance: Parker Coffin, Conner Coffin, Sebastian Zietz, Eithan Osbourne, Yadin Nicol, Mikey February, Cliff Kapono, Alex Gray, Patrick Gudauskas, Tanner Gudauskas, Dane Reynolds and then Parker again.

With enthusiasm and design input from Parker Coffin, the FishBeard is pure business in the front and all party in the back. Get forward on this user-friendly board and drive from the center and you’ll have all the speed and flow you always desired. Step back on the tail to engage the fins and rails, which provides you hold, pivot, projection and the freedom to rip as hard as ever. To keep the party going, we dug into the archives and found some vintage mid-’80s, fluorescent logos and recreated CI’s iconic layup from that era.

For maximum performance, we highly recommend pairing the board with Futures AMK Keel Fins. Although inspired by classic keel outlines, the all-new AMK template boasts a modern rake shape, graduated tip flex and flat inside foils finely tuned for fast, high-performance surfing. This keel-fin design is built to shred but also ideal for those that just want to groove.
