Vans Stab High Non-Chlorine Presented by Monster Energy - Episode 1

Episodes 1, 2 & 3 of Vans Stab High can be found on KZbin. Episode 4 will live exclusively on stabmag.com as pay-per-view streaming starting Dec 16 and 23 respectively.
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

February is such a G

[@j3f423]

Agree but feel like Bruce or someone else should have judged lol but February is awesome

[@duncan32158]

Imagine getting a call. "Hey Eric needs to be on time to his flights. Can you come to INdo for a few days and teach him Am vs PM."

[@greenroomtimes5251]

Wow those 12 year old Ladybirds surf so much better than me.

[@bricodepot1987]

Matt Meola, A surfing Surfer.

[@bapple7844]

Nathan fletcher should be like the head of air judging/naming commissions. He understands the difficulty of each air and what maneuvers actually are different maneuvers based on the way you approach it and how the maneuver is actually executed.

[@ramaimacdonald6430]

So sick! Can’t wait for the next eps

[@joshprovencher8643]

Nathan Fletcher sorta looks like the Grinch

The Grinch with excessive tooth whitening.

[@yon_draper]

don't get me wrong I love these guys but dang surfing is supposed to be about good times with the boys, less about competition

[@Currens-]

Christian fletcher should be so much more involved with stab high!!!

An air contest without brazilian surfers would never crown the best aerial guy.

I 've been in the water w Kevin Reed many times early 70's singles w sidebites.. fluid switch stance any time on any ride, sideslips and 360's. His airs came later, but a genius at surfing.

The females follow same format, and winner gets $3000 verses the $12,000 that the male winner gets. This is ridiculous! Vans and Monster 👎
