Check out the rides, photos and clips that earned these winners a week of empty waves up at Papatura Island Retreat in the Solomon Islands. This ‘Grind’ keeps to the trusted barrel theme with lashings of hollow waves and good times from wherever waves tube around the globe. Take in some highlights from the iON the Barrel film including some stunning rides from Hawaii, Tahiti...

The Barrel crew began their pilgrimage for barrels back in January at the birthplace of surfing where huge Pacific swells pound the sands of Hawaii. On the fabled North Shore Harro filmed the humbling, crashing waves at Pipeline, Waimea Bay and up and down the reef-ringed coastline where surfers from around the world are drawn each winter. Check out this behind the scenes teaser of some of the guts and the glory rides that will feature in the movie, to be released in November.
