The Cliffs is one of the most intimidating and unique waves in the world, as long Atlantic ocean swells batter the coastline. The only entry and exit point, a narrow goat track down a steep cliffside.
The wave is extremely fickle, with Russ hunting for years before finally getting the chance to surf it. This is a session and a ride that defines his relationship with the place.
Watermarks is an ongoing series exploring the most defining waves of Russell Bierke's career.
