Stab High is taking place at Perfect Swell Shizunami Wave Pool in Japan!

At the last Stub High meet, Sierra Carr completed a perfect full rotation in the Ladybirds finals. Cheers erupted from a rickety tower off the coast of Sumbawa as a Monster Air check for $20,000 (roughly 3 million) was handed over. Stab High, presented by Monster Energy, has evolved dramatically over the past five events. Following its first two live iterations (2018 and 2019) at Perfect Swell Pool in Waco, Texas; Mentawai Islands (2020), Central America (2021), Lakey Peak ( 2022 ). This time in 2024, it will return to a live event format, this time held at Perfect Swell Shizunami Wave Pool in Japan. On June 22nd and 23rd, surfing's biggest stars will be showing us what the Perfect Swell Shizunami Wave Pool can do. You can see it. With support from YETI, this year's event will feature three divisions: Men's, Ladybird (girls 15 and under), and Bottle Rocket (boys 15 and under). Additionally, the Monster Air Award will be presented to the surfer with the most impressive air of the competition, regardless of division. Chippa Wilson, Ian Crane, Harry Bryant, Noah Beschen, Julian Wilson, Matt Meola, Mikey Wright, Noah Dean, Robbie McCormick, Luke Swanson, Mason Ho and Kaito Ohashi are just some of the surfers who will be competing in the 2024 event, with the 36 men's field to be announced in the coming weeks. Of course, it wouldn't be Stab High without the fresh flock provided by YETI. The world's best 15 and under fly girls will soar in Japan, joined by Ladybirds champions Katie Simmers, Erin Brooks, Sky Brown and two-time champion Sierra Carr. And for the first time, YETI will be showcasing explosive boys aged 15 and under in the new Bottle Rocket category. "Stab High Japan Presented by Monster Energy" will be held for two days on June 22nd and 23rd. There will be approximately five hours of surfing each day, from 9am to 2pm Japan time.

Nishii held an event at Perfect Swell Shizunami on May 5th.

Nishii held an event at Perfect Swell Shizunami in Shizunami City, Shizuoka Prefecture on Sunday, May 5th. This event is designed to help you improve your surfing by surfing in the WAVE pool and receiving one hour of coaching from Nishii. It's only 1,100 yen more expensive than the usual 8,800 yen, but not only do you get coaching for each ride, you also get to ride a LOST & PLACEBO test board. You can receive a non-sale original Love Surf quick dry beach towel and FU WAX wax as a participation prize, and you can also custom order a LOST surfboard with the 22,000 yen order fee waived. It was a very meaningful event for the participants. As soon as we announced that we would be holding this event in early April, reservations filled up almost immediately. After that, we received many inquiries from people who wanted to participate, but since the capacity had already been reached, If you were unable to attend this time, please join us next time. Thank you to everyone who ordered custom surfboards after this session! We are so grateful to everyone who rode our test boards and came back to our store to buy them later! On this day, each person was able to catch nine easy intermediate waves in an hour, but everyone was clearly better on the ninth wave than on the first, so Nishii also coached for the first time in a while. It was so much fun coaching everyone as they improved that the four sessions flew by. This time, thanks to the cooperation of Total Video, we were able to watch high-quality riding footage filmed on a cinema camera for each session, and we will be posting this footage and other footage from the event on YOUTUBE, so please look forward to it! https://youtu.be/WoKF2TCv8QU

Many customers have already used the coupon to purchase surfboards at a great price! You can also use the coupon to get a great deal on the new 2024 model, "THE RIPPER," which is based on the world's best-selling "RAD RIPPER" and has been updated to a more aggressive model at the request of "Kolohe Andino"! The RAD RIPPER combines 80's design with the latest modern surfboard design, and is at its best at the beach breaks that many Japanese people call home.It is a popular model all over the world, but it is also extremely popular here in Japan, and you can often see it in the ocean. While retaining the ease of handling inherited from the RAD RIPPER, THE RIPPER has been stripped of its nostalgic 80's design and adjusted to a more modern outline to enable aggressive, attacking surfing. The top riders of the LOST team have already ridden "THE RIPPER" and left behind numerous photo shots and short movies! It has already become a hit in San Clemente, home of LOST Surfboards, and is quickly becoming a popular model! The new LOST decals are cool too!
