Click here to watch the highlights from the first day of Monster Energy's "Stab High Japan" https://stabmag.com/stabcinema/watch-day-one-highlights-from-stab-high-japan-presented-by-monster-energy/?_kx=dBidRYHV5lf5tT9_mPH05QkfejYgUMneMRyFByZ9_a8.VBFqD4 Sudden death shootouts, the first superwoman, and the pioneer of Monster Air. Fans, check out the video above. I won't go into detail, but I'll give you the gist. Mikey Wright, trying to maintain his pedigree in the sudden death round, stared down the line, dove over the kinks like a madman, pirouetted through the air and landed with his palms sliding into his knees, a smooth landing worthy of a score of 49/50. Of course, it was Lee Wilson who missed the point, but it was a small joy to see him raise his hands and smile. In a sudden-death surf-off with Shane Boland, Matt Meola landed a bold double-grab chop-hop mid-wave, followed by an equally bold double-grab inverted backside full-rotate, and finally a hip thrust aimed at Lee Wilson. The Ladybirds took female progression into the stratosphere. Led by Raihani Zoric and Patty Zhou, they failed miserably. Their success rate far exceeded that of their male counterparts, and their progression pulse thumped louder than Christian Fletcher's exhaust. Mari Adam came close to becoming the first superwoman we know. We're still warming up, but somehow it's already nearly over. Tomorrow is almost here. Fasten your seatbelts. Here's the rest: Semifinals — Pro Men, Bottle Rocket, Ladybird Three Right, Three Left Best Single Air, Top 4 advance to the Finals Leaderboard format: All players battle Finals — Pro Men, Pro Women, Bottle Rocket, Lady Bird Three Right, Three Left Best right and best left will be added to your score The player with the highest total score wins Prize money Professional: US$20,000 (approximately 3 million yen) Professional women's: US$10,000 (approximately 1.5 million yen) Monster Air: $10,000 (approximately 1.5 million yen) Lady Bird: US$5,000 (approximately ¥750,000) Bottle Rocket: US$5,000 (approximately 750,000 yen)

Hello, I'm Kohei, a staff member. As we mentioned in yesterday's store blog, as we enter the peak season, surfboard activity will pick up, and some surfboards that are sold out and LOST MADE IN JAPAN QUALITY will be available from June to July! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KSqrv_NDq4&t=3s RAD RIPPER Although it has been some time since its release, "RAD RIPPER" remains as popular as ever. It continues to sell well due to the positive reviews it receives from those who have ridden it, and it is a perennially popular model that is rarely stocked in stores in all sizes.

Wide dimensions are popular with surfers who want to ride shorter boards and are rarely in stock. It is recommended not only for people with a large physique, but also for surfers who want to move more easily in small waves!

For those people, we highly recommend the new model "BIG RIG DRIVER"!

It is a high-performance model that has been highly praised by team riders. It fits the typical 1-3 foot wave conditions that most of us surf experience every day! Perfect for those who want to do high performance surfing with their tail thrusting!
