Fresh off a whirlwind trip to Hawaii’s North Shore, Russell Bierke is back in Australia, trading mountainous waves for home renovations—and nursing some serious bruises in the process. In just one action-packed week, he tackled Jaws, competed in the legendary Eddie Aikau Invitational, took on the Vans Pipe Masters, and even squeezed in some playful Rockies sessions.

Before heading off to Hawaii for the Vans Pipe Masters and the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, Russell Bierke makes a detour to one of the most challenging and remote surf spots in the world—Shipstern’s Bluff, Tasmania. With filmmaker Andrew Kaineder and photographer Alex Brunton by his side, Russ is looking to huck himself over the ledge and manhandle the step, getting in a few solid sessions, free from the usual crowd.

Dakoda Walters is living the dream. The electric natural footer lives in Byron, grew up and learned to surf at Angourie, and has his folks living at Cooly. When he's not competing (and we’ll get to that later), Kodes spends his time putting on the afterburners on the points, reef and beaches between the three iconic Aussie locations. He’s a low-key kid, with a high-voltage approach to riding waves. A quiet dude who surfs loud. A humble gent with big dreams. 

From 29th of November until the the 1st of December at the Ocean & Earth Sussex Inlet flagship store we’re having a FLASH SALE!! 

After a horrific surfing injury, hard charging Aron Cox concentrated on filming his good mate Lennix Smith. Up until that point, Cox had been one of the underrepresented underground chargers on the South Coast. In and around his job as a concreter, Cox would chase any serious swell that looked good on the charts. He’d logged sessions at Shipsterns, Skeleton Bay, heaving Nias and Cloudbreak as well as big-wave slabs near home.

The Desert Point local might be the most barrelled person on the planet. "My parents grew up in the village nearby. They didn’t surf. No one did. They couldn’t swim. But dad was a fisherman, and he knew the wave was dangerous,” Usman Trioko told Core Stories. That wave, and that reef, was Desert Point.

“The end goal is to be on the CT tour and make the top 5 in the world. I just know I have to work hard over the next few years to give myself the best opportunity to get in a position where that might be possible,” finished Smith. “For the moment though, I just got to take it all in, enjoy myself and not get too far ahead of myself. We’ll see what happens.”
