Stab High x Monster Energy is back… in just over two weeks. ​

This time at Atlantic Park Surf in Virginia Beach, USA — May 15-16, 2026.

Trying to picture it? Think:

  • Chlorinated ramps in Wavegarden’s Cove tech (like Sydney) 
  • A-list surfers steeped in Monster and pure Americana (like Waco). 
  • An entire ocean out front for your midday rinse (like Japan)
  • Celebratory cans flowing well into the night (Kona, probs). 

And while our Premium Members got first dibs, there are still a few tickets left for the general public — and they’re on sale now.

Buy today, and we’ll throw in one month free of Stab Premium — Stab in the Dark with Ethan Ewing is currently streaming, and we have a backlog of hundreds of hours of exclusive surf content ready to be consumed.

Come extend your minds (and bodies) with us. Photo Heywood.

Stab High VB need to know: 

Dates: The event will run on Friday, May 15th and Saturday, May 16th, EST.

IRL: The event is open to the public. You can buy tickets here.

Online: There will be a live broadcast exclusively on Stab Premium. 

Surfers: Stab High will host four divisions: Mens, Womens, Bottle Rockets, and Ladybirds. And, as always, someone will win the Monster Air.
