Eli Hanneman Is 15 Years Old And 100 Pounds Lighter Than The Competition

Does this make him a favorite for the $20k awarded to the loftiest air in Stab High?

You’ll continue to be notified that tickets for Stab High are on sale now. 

You can buy them here. 

Our first ever surf contest is exactly one week away. Think of it as an end of summer party with an air show attached. 

Tickets will grant you access to all of BSR Cablepark’s attractions, such as the Royal Flush waterslide; the world’s largest lazy river; the surf contest; an afterparty featuring a live performance by Poolside on the lawn; an after-after party spun by a to be announced DJ; and so much more. 

If you can’t make the event, we will be live streaming Stab High for the price of a semi-fancy sandwich or a six-pack (three beers in OZ). The early bird special is on sale now for just under $9USD. 

You can purchase that here.

Eli Hanneman is the youngest surfer in our event. He’s 15, and as he said is “probably like 100 pounds lighter than the rest of the competitors.” We will be awarding $20k to the highest air in the event, and think Eli could win it by default. Hit play and get acquainted with what the World Surf League has called Maui’s next big thing.
