Stab Magazine takes a closer look at PerfectSwell® technology and the McFly air section at Riyue Bay Surf Resort in Hainan, China.

Ahead of Stab High China, Stab Magazine explores the wave design behind what it calls the “world’s best air section,” speaking with American Wave Machines about the evolution of PerfectSwell’s McFly.

From its debut at São Paulo Surf Club to its latest iteration at Riyue Bay, the McFly demonstrates PerfectSwell’s ability to create highly specialized waves designed for progressive surfing.

The feature highlights the work of AWM’s wave design team, led by Miquel Lazaro, and the ongoing development of PerfectSwell technology.

As the world’s best aerial surfers prepare to compete at Stab High China on November 13–14, Riyue Bay is set to showcase the next level of surf progression.
