Stab Magazine

Surfing has transformed from a stereotype of long-haired enthusiasts to a diverse community that includes well-dressed stockbrokers and university students who think critically about the world around them. It's about young adults who embrace style, with swim trunks that rise above the knee. Surfing now encompasses everything from traditional snacks to bold maneuvers, showcasing the strength and confidence of women who embrace their own choices. Today, surfing is vibrant, exciting, and full of creativity. Stab captures that inspiration perfectly.

When we asked Britt Merrick back in March, “How much do pro surfers actually know about their boards?” he laughed. “It’s a spectrum,” he responded. “Some surfers are really involved, and some don’t have the bandwidth or the desire. They just know what feels good to them and want more of that. Those people are super easy to shape for, but I tend to get kinda bored with them.

Few pastimes expose you to the brutal truth of politics and economics like surfing. Anyone who has been on the end of a shovel, a hammer, a keyboard, a steering wheel or a till on a day of pumping waves will have developed the purest distillation of the system failures that prevent him or her from getting barrelled.
