Agree mate! Can’t believe the negativity around the sound track! For a 70 + ex surfer I thought the whole kit was fucken brilliant!

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

Cheers mate! They both got epic waves that day. Back to back actually, unfortunately Russ just got shocky blasted.

Prob the most composed barrel rider I’ve ever seen

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.

The clips from Ireland are incredible. Great work

Finally, something which makes Trad-Jazz listenable!

The surfing, berserk! The cinematography, especially water, elite. But Maria Moles on the score...chef's kiss!

Great surfing and filming, watershots are amazing.

omg. sooo heavy. the last right was deft defying in thickness

In all honesty, this is the nastiest wave I’ve seen in my entire life

Just stunning. I'll be coming back to watch this now and then for years to come. Instant classic!

@@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

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 !

the soundtrack on this is so killer. drums only, just like the movie birdman. gave me chills.

I’d say this single edit shows shows more charging by one surfer I’ve seen, the drum solo accompaniment suits the intensity too, good onya mate

Epic work everyone involved! Sickest edit I've seen! Amazing surfing. Got my blood pumping

Big respects. So gnarly.

Such a psycho talented waterman copping sickest slabs. Crazy view. Avagud1 keep rippin

watch it with headphones, makes the music and sound fit this insane film soo perfect!

dude is a real hero

Love the soundtrack. Maria Moles is one of a kind!

Music fits the madness!

dudes, this is unbelievable! Amazing work from all involved!

This is next level, wow. It actually captures the raw moment and intensity . Best thing I’ve seen on the tube in a very long time!

Some serious surfing there.

so core. this is insane

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

Damn dude. You are a fkn beast. Wave of the year on the final banger clip. Wow

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

Yewww!

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. !

Geez that last one must have felt so insane.

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.

Insane surfing, epic short film. Art.

Wow....wtf..CHARGER!!

Amazing Russ B. Congrats on award. Making ir dad KB proud and all of us ol buddies from TB. Rock on brah

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 😮

Stunning bezirke Bierke!

Incredible work from all involved. Can't wait to see what he does with the Bitcoin.

that last wave!!!... you kidding me??

Insane

That slomo of the step bowl within a bowl is quite possibly the most beautiful yet disturbing scene ever. Respect RB 🤙

The kids got mad skills Plus good music to keep the edge. Right on Birk eee!

Incredible. I just can't even formulate coherent sentences at the moment that was so mind bendingly insane.

I watched this before bed, in the morning my wife said I kept holding my breath in my sleep. Yep

As always with Russell and O'Neill, the edit is perfect.

Great surfer. Great little film. Awesome soundtrack.

That last wave 😦

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.

best surfing vid ever!

Just frikken incredible. Go Russell!

el espíritu del Surfin en un solo video.. la técnica, el arrojo y el arte que hay son insanos. Muchas gracias

Absolutely mental!!!!

As soon as I seen his name I knew it was going to be a good vid 🤙

Russel is a beast!

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.

Coupla head dips and drum riffs….sick

One of the best!

Next level !! Insane

Amazing!

If You know Russells dad like I do. Then you would know hes a chip off the ol Charging maniac block!❤🏴‍☠🤙🏼
