Jamie O’Brien scored surfed perfect barrels in Tahiti last week, and he’s already done it again.
“We’re gonna get on this boat right here, we’re gonna drive like 30 seconds and then we’re gonna be at the craziest, perfect left-hander,” Hawaii’s O’Brien said in his latest vlog.
And that’s what they did. The video below shows the boys ripping perfect lefts, getting barreled, and loving life in crystal-clear Tahitian water.
O’Brien’s crew includes fellow North Shore native Lucas Godfrey, and Tahitian rippers Matahi Drollet, Lorenzo Avvenenti, Tahura Henry, and Hitoti Henry,
On their way out to the surf, O’Brien’s dingy crosses paths with Drollet and Avvenenti, Tahiti’s version of “traffic.”
“The boys, the Teahupo’o and Taapuna legends are here. This is gonna get really good man, you’re gonna see some incredible barrel riding,” O’Brien said.
The majority of the 20-minute video shows them having one of those sessions that’s just pure fun.
“Probably the most perfect one to two-foot wave I’ve ever surfed in my life,” O’Brien called the session.
It’s a fun video to watch. Some of the comments include:
“Wow mad respect the way you guys start the session staying humble, filming the locals and easing your way into it. It’s not always about who paddles out first. Good vibes”
“This is the clearest water I have ever seen. Thanks Jamie and crew for these videos. Keep them coming from this place. Incredible!”
“Looks like it would be impossible to be in a bad mood there. Whether you surf, dive, whatever. How could you ever not be psyched 100% of the time in the part of the world…”
“Watching this video, my body moves on its own and is out of control. This surf trip to paradise is a hymn to joy!!!!Big big up mister O’brien!!!!”
