The 10 Best Airs and Barrels in Surfing from October 2019

Between Russell Bierke's "Flow State", Ian Crane's "Beach Head", Creed McTaggart's "Cult Of Freedom", and Noa Deane's “Ru.Bu 994”—not to mention a wild early season swell in Hawaii—October may have been the busiest month of the year in terms of web clips.

While we highly recommend taking some time to watch the edits below in full, we've boiled all of October's action into one concise, 90-second countdown of the Top-10 best clips released on the interwebs last month. Headlined by Bierke's absolutely crazy paddle bomb at Shipstern Bluff, October's top-10 also includes three insane Pipeline bombs, packed by Koa Rothman, Ivan Florence and Cam Richards, as well as ripping clips by the usual suspects: Kolohe Andino, Chippa Wilson and Jay Davies.

Press play above to watch the top-10 countdown, and then take a few minutes to watch each ride and/or edit below in their entirety.

Russell Bierke should win wave of the century! Paddling into big shippies and getting soooo deep! Madness.

[erik]

All the clips were great but Russell Bierke's waves is insane!

[rnunezc.]

Air drop in a huge barrel, is the definition of insane cool control and not falling but making it into a humongous cave ride. In short, the impossible turned possible by Bierke s surf skills. Thank you man so inspiring.
