Hard to think anyone could match Nate Florence but Russell did just that and a few waves even better. This is the best edit I've ever seen, can't stop watching
Bierke surf vids in my opinion the best. The surfing, waves, editing, background sound, footage just all of it.. Fucn primal. Stay safe and keep on keeping on.
@@jaycee571none of Nate’s videos this year even came close to a million views, and also he’s John John’s brother, of course people are going to give him recognition
Such a core piece Rus, for me it represents what surfing really is! Well done to O'Neil for keeping the faith. Have loved all of those epic cuts and this one is no different! Congratulations all involved Respect earnt in my book. Cheers
Russell's family are all very proud of him and this fine film is a testament to his skills in not backing down or flinching at signs of the impossible. Thank you Alteredstatetv for putting this together!
Holy Shit this is one of the best big wave surf edits I have EVER seen (and I am 65 years old) - absolutely EPIC ! The surfing was amazing and the soundtrack was *perfect*. Thank you Russell - stay safe and stay stoked !
Oh wow. Most gripping surf edit I have seen in years. The cold water vibes combined with the music.. blimey! As a parent, audio engineer and long time surfer, who is reuniting with surfing along with my 5 year old daughter, this edit feels like something really special. Thank you Russell and all
I usually watch a surf video once if it's good. I'll watch it twice i've watched this 4 times And we'll probably watch It again. Very few videos do I recommend to friends? But this is definitely one of them. !
What an absolute hell man proper weapon of a surfer . I don’t know a lot about surfing but that lad gets deep in the tube he reads those waves well and has balls of steel awesome job brother that’s some quality viewing . Can’t begin to imagine how you feel getting spat out of one of those monsters fkn machine yeeeeew 😮
ENCORE! Heavy situations he puts himself in. Put him on the big wave tour and he will dominate or better yet get him out to Cortez Bank and cut him loose. Amazing footage and I kept holding my breath thru the whole video. Best video I have ever witnessed and he rips on the medium waves to boot. ONEILL scored with this chap like they did with Jordy Smith some years ago. Please more of this guy in the heavy stuff.
The most inspiring edit I have seen, thank you and it's easy to see that you have put in the time to select and MAAAKe so many waves that could easily be waves of the winter, thanks again and keep charging!!
I was tripping on russ the first time I watched him Surf And since then he just continues to blow my mind. ! I am from Hawaii. But I was hoping to see Him in the top 4 at the pipe masters. !
What was his final standing, do you know? The last I saw he was 13 out of 40 in the men's. I'm just wondering how he did overall with the women's scores thrown in.
omfg the shane ackerman of surfin, only person that came close to surfer of the year up against Nate florence this year, last ride would've been a good ride of the year battle with Nate if he hadn't got nailed by the lip at the end, what a madman, omg that shippies footage at the start so shocking
Hard to think anyone could match Nate Florence but Russell did just that and a few waves even better.

Cheers mate! They both got epic waves that day. Back to back actually, unfortunately Russ just got shocky blasted.
Soundtrack pushes it even further into genius
Agree mate! Can’t believe the negativity around the sound track! For a 70 + ex surfer I thought the whole kit was fucken brilliant!
Prob the most composed barrel rider I’ve ever seen
the soundtrack on this is so killer. drums only, just like the movie birdman. gave me chills.
I have a few people be reminded of Birdman but it wasn't in my reference list strangely. Drum and Drone from Whiplash was though.
It’s horrible. The sound editor needs to be fired immediately.
@@andrewk6309 interesting! appreciate the shout! I loved whiplash too
Amazing footage. Would love a remix with different music.
I had to mute it, I found it to be unlistenable
The clips from Ireland are incredible. Great work
dudes, this is unbelievable! Amazing work from all involved!
Damn dude. You are a fkn beast. Wave of the year on the final banger clip. Wow
Incredible surfing in incredible waves. A stunning film.
Bierke surf vids in my opinion the best. The surfing, waves, editing, background sound, footage just all of it.. Fucn primal. Stay safe and keep on keeping on.
drum rolls perfect accompaniment
The surfing, berserk! The cinematography, especially water, elite. But Maria Moles on the score...chef's kiss!
Finally, something which makes Trad-Jazz listenable!
Lol
lol!...but not 'Trad-Jazz!
omg. sooo heavy. the last right was deft defying in thickness
Just stunning. I'll be coming back to watch this now and then for years to come. Instant classic!
I can't believe it's only got 70k views yet Nate Florence does a fart and gets a million views.
@@jaycee571none of Nate’s videos this year even came close to a million views, and also he’s John John’s brother, of course people are going to give him recognition
Love the soundtrack. Maria Moles is one of a kind!
Music fits the madness!
Some serious surfing there.
In all honesty, this is the nastiest wave I’ve seen in my entire life
Such a core piece Rus, for me it represents what surfing really is!
Well done to O'Neil for keeping the faith.
Have loved all of those epic cuts and this one is no different!
Congratulations all involved
Respect earnt in my book.

Geez that last one must have felt so insane.
Great surfing and filming, watershots are amazing.
That slomo of the step bowl within a bowl is quite possibly the most beautiful yet disturbing scene ever. Respect RB 🤙

I watched this before bed, in the morning my wife said I kept holding my breath in my sleep. Yep
best surfing vid ever!
As always with Russell and O'Neill, the edit is perfect.
That last wave 😦
Insane film !
Great surfer. Great little film. Awesome soundtrack.
What is this Maria Moles track? It's as insane as the edit. Beautiful.
Maria composed the entire soundtrack for the film.
Just frikken incredible. Go Russell!
Farken Mental!!!
A few mental breakdowns knowing I'll never ride a wave like that. Hahaha I can watch on from the channel and on repeat.
thank you! awesome video....
Cheers
el espíritu del Surfin en un solo video.. la técnica, el arrojo y el arte que hay son insanos. Muchas gracias
Russel is a beast!
Incredible. I just can't even formulate coherent sentences at the moment that was so mind bendingly insane.
You sound pretty coherent.
Epic!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was filmed over a few sessions in the same winter. A life time of epic barrels! Business as usual for RB.
Pure SOUL 🙏❤️
Absolutely mental!!!!
Insane
Beautiful
One of the best!
Goosebumps
Big respects. So gnarly.
Wow....wtf..CHARGER!!
