WELCOME WINTER VINCENT | O'NEILL

O'Neill is stoked to welcome Winter Vincent to the team and back with family. Winter started his surfing journey as a 9-year-old grom, decked head to toe in O'Neill wetsuits and it's great to see him back. As one of Australia's most
promising junior surfers, Winter at age 16, has already packed a fair amount into his young years. Acting as an ambassador for the Surfrider Foundation, Waves for Water, Kids Give ambassador, has seen Winter raise both awareness and needed funds.

Most give back at the end of their sporting careers, there's not that many that give at the start. Nice deeds aside, we see Winter's surfing and his progression as one of the best talents emerging out of the South Pacific region. We look forward to the road ahead and to a bright future no matter what that brings.

Team O'Neill | Highway One with Noah Waggy

The trek from Santa Cruz to San Francisco is one that Noah Waggy has made since he was young. The 75 mile stretch of coastline up Highway 1 is home to some of the best surfing in California, with well-known breaks and hidden crannies scattered throughout. After linking up with fellow Santa Cruz local and Team O'Neill athlete Shaun Burns, the boys loaded up and headed north, looking forward to fun waves and good times along the golden coast.

Strike Missions: ¡Que Chiva! | Episode 5 | O'Neill

Sometimes, an alternative route is necessary. Due to travel challenges, the original plan for an off-the-grid strike mission had to be re-evaluated. The assembled crew of Torrey Meister, Noah Waggy, and fresh-faced Team O’Neill rider Shion Crawford relied on the experience of Cory Lopez to set a new plan.

Deciding on an area filled with punchy beach breaks and a few hidden reefs, the crew found themselves scoring a variety of high-performance waves in a not-so-remote tropical location. It's these types of trips that remind you to appreciate the people, cultures, and experiences that thrive in and out of the water. Plans change, and with an open mind, they can work to your advantage.

Vantage Points: Russell Bierke & Andrew Kaineder | O'Neill

Episode 3 is a short film by Andrew Kaineder showcasing Russell Bierke’s latest and craziest waves. It’s a mix of hi-fi cinematography, low-fi lifestyle, and photographic stills while being backed by a suspenseful and moody original psych-rock score. Andrew used abstract imagery and mixed media of nature and landscapes to help break up the edit. It’s a perfect balance, showcasing Russell’s thrilling big wave skillset and the hard-charging he’s known for.

Russ Bierke is a surfer's surfer, quietly spoken, but someone who lets his actions do the talking. With an ability to remain calm in serious situations and a surfing maturity well beyond his years, it is no surprise that Russ has stepped into the world's big wave riding elite.

Australian film director Andrew Kaineder focuses on telling genuine human stories. The simplicity of his work is in the beauty, strong cinematography, honest performances and unique audio scores. He has created many award-winning documentaries and narrative films within the surf world, claiming prestigious awards like the AUS surf film of the year.
