Back in 2016, Russell Bierke spun heads and solidified his status as an emerging force in the surf world with his video Bezerke.

Fast forward three years and at just 22 years old, Russell’s more fearless than ever it seems.

Teaming up with filmmaker Andrew Kaineder once again, their latest clip Flow State is a mind-blowing visual piece, part documentary, part surf thriller that has you wincing in fear as much as screaming in awe.

Flow State’s beauty lies in its ability to merge heavy surf clips with an intimate look into the mindset of its protagonist, through candid conversation between Russell and his pal Brett Burcher, whilst never appearing cheesy or forced. It’s a fascinating insight and one you should give yourself 15 minutes to witness yourself.
