Unless your name is Luke Swanson — or you’re currently attending Sunset Elementary — most groms haven’t had a chance to showcase their surfing to John John Florence.

If you’re between the ages of 12-18 years old, now’s your moment to convince dad to bring the camera to the local and get some clips in front of the 2x World Champ.

Starting now, with a deadline of June 15th, surfers can submit videos — 30 seconds to 1 minute in length — for VEIAVISION, which will be judged by John John, other VEIA team riders, and the Parallel Sea crew.

All you’ve gotta do is upload the edit to an Instagram account, pin it to the top of your page, and tag @veiasupplies #veiavision. 

The top four surfers will be entered into the Finals — to be voted on by Stab readers.

There will be one boy and one girl winner, with each earning a one year VEIA sponsorship and $500,  plus a feature on our site. Also, other awards and prizes will be awarded for best edit, best trick and other secret criteria.
