Welcome to The House That You Built – Stab x Volcom’s hunt for the next bold idea.

You got a concept? Wanna win some money? Direct Stab’s next shoot? Well, honey, we want you to think BIG, because this isn’t our first dance with fireworks.

Remember the world’s first paddle-less lineup (a 100 foot, 1000 tonne plastic, and 100 percent deadly raft in Indonesia)? Or Bruce Irons illuminating a pitch black tube in the Ments? How about John Florence’s dream scene, captured from the sky? Or surfing’s first studio shoot, in a Spanish wavepool?

We want to give you access to Volcom’s surf team and Stab‘s production team. 

No idea is too big. Got something wild? We want it. Your age, gender, occupation, sexual preference… it don’t matter. We’ll take it designed on a PDF, or scrawled on a napkin, all that matters is the idea.

The competition ends May 31st, 2018.
