Welcome to Vans Stab High Indonesia (Round 2), presented by Monster Energy.
Anything you might want to do on a surfboard, you can do at Lakey Peak. Cupped-out rights with perfect air wind, drawn out, steep lefts, with tubes going both ways. Want to lean into a big ol’ turn? Go right ahead. Want to get a vision? Slam the brakes.
And, of course, the air section will let you do whatever it is you please.
The last part is important — because after all, it is an air comp.

Below is a photo gallery from the first few days. Keep an eye on the Stab High Instagram for a drip feed of what’s cooking.
Why? Because a proper swell has arrived. The ramps could fairly be described as mega.
