Joel Vaughan Wins Stab High Sydney
22 yr old Aussie O'Neill team rider Joel Vaughan, has beaten the worlds best free surfers and aerialists in the STAB HIGH event at URBN SURF. An epic event, featuring riders from around the world and including the recently crowned WSL surfing champion Yago Dora. A beautiful sunny day, saw the finalists going hammer and tongs in what came down to a tie break and pressure cooker situation. Joel threw caution to the wind on his very last wave and attempted a move he had never completed in the pool. A huge and crazy full rotation varial flip, that he landed cleanly to a massive roar from a packed stadium like crowd. Joel had put the world on notice already this year with his rookie year on the world tour, but this further cemented him as one of the best young surfers to watch in the years to come.
