Jamie O’Brien surfs a lot. He’s very comfortable on a wave, whether it’s big or small, whether he’s on fire or not. So comfortable he can hold a conversation with the camera as he’s just about to get very barreled. Which is exactly what he did in the video above. Scroll ahead to the 12:20 mark if that’s what you’re here for, but trust us, the whole thing is worth the watch.
Jamie, along with a crew of friends, hopped aboard a flight to Mexico a while back. They definitely packed for the trip — they had more luggage than Paris Hilton — but it was worth it. His knee is on the mend, he’s been spending too much time in places other than Mexico, and travel restrictions are relaxing, so they pulled the trigger on a Mexican get-away. With a good swell in the forecast, everything lined up just about perfectly.
Aside from Jamie’s casual conversation to the GoPro right before he pulls in, the best part about this installment of Jamie’s vlog is the palpable stoke (excuse us… “psych”) of everyone involved. Watching friends get barreled is just about as good as getting a barrel of your own, isn’t it?
