FLOW STATE | Russell Bierke

‘Bezerke’, Russell’s last major edit in 2016, signified his second rising after taking the crown at Cape Fear and showcasing his intent on riding whatever mass of ocean came his way.
Fast forward 3 years, Russ has been throwing himself into some overwhelmingly big caverns. Not only riding them but confidently exposing unseen technical lines and approaches to waves of consequence. Calls of the greatest wave ever paddled into at Shipsterns have been aired but let's not forget this is surfing. How anyone perceives a ride may be different to the next person. And to be frank, who gives a rats backside. It’s a peak moment in time for a peak individual. Arriving at the right place, right time and simply, not choking.
Flow State will take you an audiovisual journey, as Russ pushes his own boundaries. Along the way, he gives us insight, into what makes him tick and how the hell his feet stay glued to his board in the most critical of situations.

That last wave is without a doubt the widest, deepest, and most beautiful Shippies wave ever paddled! The amount of fortitude it takes to launch over a ledge like that and engage the rail immediately after air dropping, then step down another ledge. I don't understand how you can negotiate so many variables perfectly with such consequences.

This is my favourite surf movie of the year. Russell is an absolute weapon and the editing/music is spot on. Well played
