Instead of connecting standard directional turns, the emphasis is on single, explosive aerial maneuvers. Past winners include Noa Deane, Chippa Wilson, Sierra Kerr, Ian Crane, Caity Simmers, Erin Brooks, Matt Meola, Eithan Osborne, Kiara Gold, Lucas Cassity, Loci Cullen, and Hughie Vaughn. All four divisions are back: Pro Mens, Pro Womens, Ladybirds (15-and-under girls), and Bottle Rockets (15-and-under boys). Additionally, the Monster Air will be won by the surfer who performs the most impactful air of the event, regardless of division. Competitors will have multiple chances to land their best airs on URBN Surf’s newly minted air section. Expect a variety of grabs, rotations, and altitudes, all dissected by a pedantic, clipboard-wielding panel fluent in aerial surfing.  The Qualifying Rounds will be held on Friday, October 10 from 8AM – 5PM ( local time) and the Main Event will be held on Saturday, October 11 from 8AM – 2PM (local time). Both days will be broadcast worldwide via stabmag.com with a start time of 12PM in Honolulu, 3pm in Los Angeles, 6PM in New York, 12AM in Paris.
