I broke my neck about 6 years ago. I used to skydive for a living and surfed everyday. life has never been the same. Everything I loved doing was gone overnight. Those things defined me as well so when I lost them I lost myself. I hate to be a downer but watching videos like this get me super pumped at first then I just go into depression. Stay safe out there peeps, go crush life before it crushes you.
I'm currently chocked full of injuries. I need 3 surgeries to repair my back, knee and rotator cuff. I totally feel what you're saying because I feel like I lost everything in my life. I'm not able to surf or skateboard or play drums or work. I just wanted to reach out to you and say hang in there because we know life is beautiful and this can't be the end of it for us. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, hopefully you can keep me in yours too. Writing from LA, CA. Aloha
I wanted to acknowledge your post. I think it is important all the time to look at the risks and make the conscious decision to do the things we do knowing what could happen but moving on it as we choose. If something happens like your broken neck and like my son’s TBI (traumatic brain injury), our lives still move forward and there can be joy, love, energy, meaning, participation in life in completely different ways than before. We can and do go on. It’s been 21 years for us since the incident that changed our lives. I’m Grateful everyday that my son has survived and that his life energy impacts us everyday!! A path and a way opens for each one of us💚🧡🤗
I feel for you. All real surfers are brothers and sisters of the ocean. I can no longer ride but I have found friends that can watch contests and they value my experience and knowledge. I would value your experiences. Reach out and find others, brother. We are there.
Jamie,,, this short film is the best by far that you have produced in 2022!! The video photography captures your passion for surfing and your love for the North Shore. The way that you and your team have put together your surfing edits into a cinematic and heartfelt experience communicates your true passion for surfing.! I'm a 66-year-old who scuba dives at the North Shore in the summer but never visited during winter. I have always wanted to learn to surf and your vlogs have just continued to fuel my passion!! Keep moving forward in you in your cinematic direction!
I didn't get a laugh today, I got a lesson! JOB is one humble monster surfer at his greatest just stomping down those waves with no fear and shredding them to pieces weather he makes it or not, JUST GO FOR IT, and he does! Thank you for this insight of yourself Mr. Man, so cool and so appreciate it!
Mini movies indeed! But, with some of the best editing and production out there. So nice to see what all your hard work has given you and us. Thanks JOB!
I wonder how different the experience of watching this film is for people who watch the weekly vlogs vs seeing this story as their intro to Jaime and that N Shore crew? No doubt the filming, editing and surfing is world class cinematography but at the end after watching for years I felt sincerely proud you guys. I've never met Jaime, most likely never will, but watching this was like seeing my local friends get a win... proud like that. Respect to all of you.
Epic! Great music, high quality video...and the most free-spirited fun anyone can have in the water! This is what it's all about: having child-like wonder, respect, & appreciation for all. TOTALLY PSYCHED & inspired!
these vlogs lately have basically been short movies. incredible! keep it up guys :) i feel like noone else is dropping high quality content like this. especially in the surfing scene
Yeah, one reason I love your videos is because I love your lifestyle and that you make bank doing it. I keep hearing you say anyone can take this wave, but I am easily reminded I have no experience in the ocean. I support you by watching your videos and I bought a couple shirts. You are blessed to have found this at such a young age and you continue to live it. 👍🤙
Love the multiple camera angles on some of those awesome barrels. Talk about raising the bar for RUclips content Dam the O'Brien team is on fire🔥 This is what we all needed for a Monday, now I'm Psyched for the rest of the week 👍👍😎
I don't surf but just wow - this is incredible to watch this for so many reasons.. Watching the video guys/gals with the big yellow cameras get pulled into a wave and thrashed around was impressive. Dedication and skill of the folks filming is incredible.
So visually stimulating and well put together. The quickest 35 minute video I think I have ever watched aka "all killer and no filler." Nice work guys and thanks for putting this out here for us .
Trying not to swear as I type this. Probably the most epic surf content I've ever seen. Alex did an incredible job with the edit. He had unreal shots to work with. But it is still other level quality that way. All these years at it and Jamie just put out his best content, I think.
I look forward to Mondays so I may watch the new vlog. This week went above and beyond what is already amazing. Absolutely spectacular. By far the best yet. I can’t wait to watch again!
I could feel the surf the pounding smell the salt and those places that you bring me to incredible the cinematography was incredible and I speak to you for someone who spent many years in the ocean you bring me back thank you
Thoroughly enjoyable, funny, beautiful......a sheer joy watching the multiple camera angles on the same wave, sharing waves, going in to closeout barrels! The amazing cinematography captured all this and so much more. I have bodysurfed all my life (now 68), and this film perfectly embraced the absolute, spiritual, awe inspiring experience of mother ocean, mother earth, and most heartwarming, the essence of being in commUNITY! THANK YOU! First time watcher and now a subscriber!
Really well done...your camera crew makes it all shine! Capture the beauty and brutality of what mother nature throws your way. Truly embracing life and how you fit in. Be real, don't bend or succumb to outside pressures to change anything. Your true passion and love in what you do shines through. Always be you and keep your true friends close!
I Can't BELIEVE WHAT I"M WATCHING!!!! THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING ON SO MANY LEVELS!!! Jaime Obrien Filmmaking and story telling at it's best!!! CONGRATS BRO, the editing, the cinematography, the music OMG........ Do less, take breaks from the exhaustion of this process. and make more videos like this and it's a game changer for RUclips.....
Jamie earns all of our respect on here and would love to some day meet him and be just like him. the=at video shows just how passionate you are for surfing and is really inspiring. thank you Jamie for all the good vids and keep shredding man. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I loved the way you guys made this short film, I'm seeing something new coming in the future of JOB, keep it up, I love the way you're doing the approach to the new way of movies and story telling
Nunca se es demasiado viejo para el surfing.Tengo 56 y solo hace 4 comencé con este deporte.Solo me arrepiento de no haber comenzado antes;sin embargo fue es y será el momento perfecto.Saludos y agradecimientos desde Chile por este hermoso film.Shaka🤙
So Psyched to Watch this it's definitely the Best content produced in 2022 by your team of Video/Photography/Vlog and Psyched Wave/Surf Shredding Crew. Can't wait to see what else is to come this Winter at Pipeline and where ever in the World you decide to Surf and have fun in the 🌊🌊🌊🤙🏽💥👍🏽
The production is of the roof! Big ups for the whole JOB crew for pulling this one off! Love it when you guys go documentary style and was so pumped with the previous one with Italo. This one is no excpetion! Keep it up Jamie you are such an inspiration to the whole Surfing community🤙💪
You are the best JO'B! You make something that is so difficult and dangerous look easy. Keep up the great work and see you next week. Easy bruh! Mahalo!
This film is next level ! Absolute joy to watch… incredible footage, seamless editing and beautiful inspiring soundtrack to match. Brilliant !! Well done Jamie and production team.

Gorgeous coverage of epic adventuring 🌊🌺😊 Thank you @JOB and crew for a nice escape from the rain and mundane of today! Feeling uplifted and inspired ✨️
you get us all psyced I am 62 still surfing skiing and watching you go to all the great surf breaks. i was at cloud break in 80s and we the first to hit Todos all my HB friends moved to CR and still going there. got to mover to PR and surf epic waves 6 years seeing you all these places takes me back to those times.
I’ve never seen any human like this guy. He was surfing nothing but moving toward the oncoming waves. Well it was the reverse effect of the last waves that came ashore but he’s insanely talented and has center of gravity like nobody I’ve seen. Wow man! You’re truly great
That's a very awe inspiring and inspirational video that was probably one of the most amazing video edits, total love the energy and vibe of it next level gives us an insight to your total dedication and love for the sport. Keep it real and ride till we die !!!👍👍🤟🤟
Respect 🙏 Incredible video Jamie I'm 63 now did surf pipe in the early 80z a little mostly Hanalei 😉 you keep on man you rip and live so well 🙏 👏 Respect 🙏
I've had a chance to look up to celebrities my whole life. Born in so cal, thought myself to surf just for the love and the stoke. Your a big part of alot of our lives. I know you vibration is there and I just want to say thank you for being you. Between you and Ben gray, I couldn't survive. Your bigger that you think you are... at least yo us! I can't wait to meet you brobro!!!!!!! Ryguy out🖖
Quality content, thanks for taking us along with you in your journey to the best day ever. I got chills at 1:39 you say go explore the world and that music sounds like Diablo 2 Tristram and I was like "Stay awhile and listen" 😈
Check out our new merch!
www.stay psyched.com
Smart people wear helmets at pipe or other dangerous reef breaks. 🌊
Not sure if I bought some merch but I think I applied for a job at a phsyciatric facility
We all know you quit competing to chase after Tina and give her all your focus attention and entire world
Contest suck anyways ! I'm watching all these great surfers posting sick clips and wonder why contest even still exists !
Your link takes me to the Psychiatric Times. Stay Psychiatric Bra.🏄

Trying not to swear as I type this. Probably the most epic surf content I've ever seen. Alex did an incredible job with the edit. He had unreal shots to work with. But it is still other level quality that way. All these years at it and Jamie just put out his best content, I think.
Absolutely brilliant Jamie. Great editing and production. Of course with the ocean as your canvas, it was beautiful as well.
25:46 - The cinematography is epic! seeing in 3D that board in the barrel with the fins facing Jamie. Great Shot!
Watching this new video has got me psyched on a cold rainy day on the Oregon coast. Keep it up!
This is amazing! Beautiful surf, beautiful cinematography... Wow ! Thank you 🙏🏼☀🤙🏽
