Revealed: All 60 Surfers Competing At Stab High Japan 2025, Presented By Monster Energy
Mikey Wright, Mason Ho, Sky Brown, Creed McTaggart, Harry Bryant, Pedro Barros, and Ian Crane wander into a pool bar…
Stab High Japan 2025 Presented By Monster Energy is officially* locked in.
Sixty surfers. Four divisions. One brand new, triangular air section. On May 24th and May 25th, we’ll return to the steampunk ramps of PerfectSwell Shizunami to watch the world’s best — and most entertaining — aerialists go launch for launch in the planet’s biggest “surf contest mostly in the air”.
This year’s cast spans Pro Men’s, Ladybirds Presented By YETI, Bottle Rockets Presented By YETI, and for the first time ever, Pro Women presented by Sun Bum. It’s our largest field yet. There are returning champions, future CTers, cult favorites, kids with nothing to lose and clips that’ve melted our inboxes. Some are hunting a win, some just want to leave a mark. All of them have a shot at our $50k prize purse (including $10k for the Monster Air).
Below, you’ll find the full list of competitors joining us in Japan, a few details about them, and a clip that shows what makes each of them worth watching. If you want to cheat, there’s a full list of surfers at the bottom.
