For many years now Jamie O’brien has been the king of surfing novelty. And, as a Pipe Master and one of the best backside tuberiders to ever grace a surfboard, he can get away with it.
Board transfers at Backdoor, Keiki shore break madness, supsquatch’s at Sunset, he’s done it all. Including now tackling legit 25 foot outer reef bombs on an inflatable pool toy, a sport which he has named ‘Big Wave Rafting’.
There are moments in this where I genuinely feared for the life of the rider. Enjoy your schadenfreude!
