Daredevil Surfer Is On Fire In GoPro Video


Big-time surfer Jamie O’Brien is on fire – literally – in a YouTube video released by GoPro. O’Brien, host of Red Bull web series “Who Is JOB 5.0,” is a daredevil extraordinaire who is shown surfing a big wave while on fire.

O’Brien trained with a Los Angeles-based stunt crew before performing the stunt in Tahiti, reports CNET. In the video, he surfs Teahupoo, or “The End of the Road,” one of the most dangerous waves in the world. O’Brien is shown being lit on fire, and then riding the wave, looking more like the “Fantastic Four’s” Human Torch than real-life surfing star.

Curious about how it was all pulled off? Well, Red Bull also posted a behind-the-scenes video of the stunt for your viewing pleasure.
