All photos and captions by Tom Carey The first episode of the new Red Bull Decades series dropped last week and Stab really dug it. Earlier this year, Red Bull took four of their best surfers, Julian Wilson, Kolohe Andino, Jamie O’Brien and Ian Walsh to Tahiti, and brought along four of the most iconic boards in surfing’s history.
