Flaring Young Surf Talent - 2022 USA Surfing Championship at Lower Trestles Highlights

The 2022 USA Surfing Championship presented by @playabowls had pumping surf and some of the best performances in the history of the event. Lower Trestles delivered in brilliant SoCal surf fashion. If you missed it, 📹 Water Work Media's Sean Evans produced an epic highlight reel 🎞 covering everything from the U12 girls and boys who scored, for some competitors, double overhead Lowers all the way to the premiere Boys and Girls U16 and U18 finals. What an amazing week for junior surfing!

USA Surfing COO and contest director Andrea Swayne said, “This event, as always, showcases the stellar talent being developed among our country’s rising stars. But equally impressive is seeing our young athletes enjoying their time together, camaraderie and sportsmanship. To see one’s competitors chair them up the beach to celebrate their win is a thing of true beauty. We are so proud of all our athletes, win or lose, and it’s a true pleasure to provide opportunities for them to shine.”

Rising Stars: The Movie

Over this past year, we’ve showcased the United States of America’s most promising up-and-coming surfers in our Rising Stars series. That’s a full 365 days of build-up to the grand finale: Rising Stars: The Movie. This 15-minute surf film is an energetic mash-up of the young stars sending it at home, on strike missions to Nicaragua, on training trips to Waco… or wherever their young hearts (and chaperones) led them.

Having already proven themselves competitively via NSSA regional and national events, Rising Stars alumni Diego Fierri, Sawyer Lindblad, Dimitri Poulos and Cruz Dinofa all won big at the 2020 NSSA Nationals in North Carolina. And now, with this movie, we can all familiarize ourselves with their freesuring chops.

Hit play above to see all the kids (aged 11-17) in action — much of which was filmed by their loving and supportive parents, including the one and only Shane Dorian.

Harry Bryant Challenges Kelly Slater?! The Pick-Up Is Back!

Vans and Stab welcome back The Pick-Up, a weekly show filming on the North Shore of Oahu, covering all details of the new digital Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Here is episode 1 of the 5 part series.

Vans Stab High Non-Chlorine Presented by Monster Energy - Episode 3

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
