Where were you at 18? Buying your first lottery ticket? Porno perhaps? Other humans have a more honorable, less perverted path than most, such as South Oz surfer Russell Bierke. At just 18, Bierke is becoming one of the next biggest things in the big-wave surfing world. He fearlessly charged the recent Code Orange swell at Teahupo’o and now he’s back with another clip.
The latest shows Bierke scratching his way into some giants around home and also a trip back to Chopes as well. Grommets these days seem more interested by sexy, above-the-lip antics in knee-high surf. But Bierke is a man(child) amongst boys when it comes to heavy surf. Keep an eye out for this kid.
