Jamie O’Brien isn’t one to shy away from a barrel, no matter how big or how sketchy it is. He’s had more experience than most in the tube, and his comfort level in situations that would make most people hit the eject button is difficult to fathom. In the world of barrels, there are a handful of places that stand out. Mexico is one. So Jamie packed his boards and the crew and headed south of the border.
O’Brien, like anyone who surfs, knows that the old adage “the early bird gets the worm” is true, especially when it comes to waves. Waking up before the sun means more time in the water before the wind picks up. He’s spent a lot of time in Mexico, so he knows where to go and when to go there. And all that time spent searching and getting barreled sure does pay off, because Jamie gets some insane waves in the clip above.
