Stab Magazine
Stab is a surf-focused media company founded by Sam McIntosh, Tom Bird, and Derek Rielly. Originally launched as a magazine, it has grown into a multi-platform brand that offers high-performance surfing content through editorial, video, and experiential marketing. Stab was acquired by SurfStitch Group in 2015 and later repurchased by its founders in 2017. The company collaborates with SurfStitch for marketing and content services. Stab specializes in content creation, producing surf journalism, interviews, and behind-the-scenes features. It is known for high-quality video production, including the *Stab In The Dark* series, where pro surfers anonymously test surfboards. The company also develops branded content and campaigns for surf-industry partners and organizes surf-related events and collaborations. Stab publishes a digital magazine featuring articles, photo essays, and surf culture analysis, and it offers surfboard reviews and limited-edition merchandise. Its audience includes surf enthusiasts, industry brands, and professional surfers, all drawn to its casual and witty editorial style.
