Here are an additional two videos shot from Sunday and Monday at Kirra.
The first is a great edit by Luke Sorensen/liquifymag from the late sessions Sunday and Monday, featuring some great barrel riding, while the second is a RAW, longer edit all shot on Monday.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

Amazing how easy these guys make it look. The reality for me would include most/all of the following-
1. paddle out followed by being swept all the way to Currumbin
2. missing wave then copping clean-up set on the noggin ( repeat 1.)
3. broken leggie/board (repeat 1.)
4. finally making a drop then wave shuts down (repeat 1.)
5. making a section only for drop-in to bugger it all up (repeat 1.)
.
That is unreal Luke. Thanks for sharing.
From close inspection I think the real winner here is the quiksilver ‘retro’ boardies.
Thanks so much for posting. Can't stop replaying them. How is the stoke with the youngling at 4:39 onwards first vid. Priceless!!!
mikey wright drops in a bit too much
Gd on .5 slo mo
This wave was a standout, so so barrelled and so composed. I wish it was me!
This vid is a classic - main beach pipes from Seth
One way to wake up on a Friday morning with that soundtrack :o. Sick little clip but.
At first I was like, what's Craig on about, the music's not too bad but gee's it was a real struggle by the end. Had to be really determined to actually make it to the end of that clip.
I've seen a bit of footage of that sand.....bloody fantastic.
Pop a pinger and relax watching a few sand enemas.
That first vid is unreal. Looks sensational. Better have a Bex and a good lie down before watching the second one....
Article’s headline sounds like a bad porn movie :-)
Flying Soul dominates the style category
Jesse backs it up with biggest barrell of the session
Best replacement for the banana festival crowned-princes'
Happy New Year Ape A!
Did da Claw get inside any good ones?
Happy New Year Campbell.
Yes, somewhere in the world there is a Claw getting barrelled...
Ape however.. is still in injury rehab, pining for the fabled Currumbin 'outside triangle'.
Met John Neilson in a camp site, he raved about the Hoye genius. Almost as good as a Claw barrel??
That second vid was unreal too....plus the best soundtrack I've heard in ages.

Can we all just pause and appreciate how sick the drums in the Cog track in the first vid are to these tubes. So good.
can we make a rule where if someone is up and riding you cant take off on their wave ?
