This is what a $30K flight looks like.

@hughievaughan is our @monsterenergy champion, with the first ever perfect score in @stab_high presented by @monsterenergy history.

What… just happened?

Excuse us as we’re still in a daze, but from recollection:

@hughievaughan just reshuffled the deck of reality and left us picking up the cards. We have no idea how any future @stab_high performance will compare to a Perfect 50 and 49 backup.

@skybrown also achieved the improbable, defeating the undefeated @sierrakerr in the @vanssurf women’s division.

@kingnicolsurf proved he’s influential on more than tok by winning the @yeti Bottle Rockets in commanding fashion.

And @islahardy_sc4 is finally, tearfully, a @vanssurf Ladybird champ.

Now, please allow us 48 hours to decompress.

@mateusherdy’s remarkably refreshing perspective on competitive surfing.

@rivvia.projects just dropped their first team edit, and we used it as an opportunity to call up their marquee CT surfer for an interview.

Link in bio to watch the edit, and read Mateus’ thoughts on riding carbon quads on tour, making the quarters at Snapper, and sharing the CT with his childhood best friends.

“The airs we saw people win with a few years ago are now standard airs in this one. It’s definitely altered the progression of the sport.”

@nathanfletcher told us after @stab_high 2026 presented by @monsterenergy commenced.

Watch the Day 2 highlight cutdown courtesy of @konabigwave at the link in our bio.

The first 50 we’ve seen at @stab_high in a pool. @hughievaughan won @monsterenergy Pro Men’s, the monster air, and a wholesome chat with his dad.

And that’s a wrap. Thanks to @wavegarden_official for the ramp, and to Virginia Beach for turning up today. ❤️

@skybrown just took home $20,000 after a tiebreaker against @sierrakerr in the @vanssurf Women’s Division.

Men’s final is in the water now. Link in bio to watch. @monsterenergy

With great potential comes great pressure…

But @kingnicolsurf’s composed approach to his first ever @yeti Bottle Rockets appearance suggests he’s just getting started.

15-year old @islahardy_sc4 just landed the most impactful air of her life to win the @vanssurf Ladybirds division.

In the end, the judges deemed the landing and recovery not clean enough on @zoeebradshaw’s dramatic buzzer beater to earn her the win — and Isla takes home the check.

@monsterenergy

…and we’re gonna have a three way surf-off for the fifth spot.
