From Redbull Sponsored Athlete Bio:
Jamie O'Brien is a freesurfer, meaning he’s not chasing contest wins or world titles. He's out traveling the world and filming stunning video footage of surfing in epic locales that's capturing an audience worldwide. Jamie is also the founder and co-owner of Jamie O'Brien Surf Experience, a Hawaii Surf School specializing in Oahu surf lessons.
The American grew up near one of the most notorious waves on the planet, with a home in front of Pipeline, on the surf mecca of Oahu's North Shore. His dad was a lifeguard who moved to Hawaii to surf, and introduced Jamie to the sport at the young age of three.
"When I was younger, it was scary and intimidating living right by Pipeline," O'Brien says. "But it was still something I'd go to school and brag to my friends about." He started competing in local surf contests when he was about six years old and carried on into his early 20s. He had major success, with top results at Pipeline Masters. But somewhere along the way, the contests lost their appeal.
"Competing was fun for a while, but that's all I did for 12 years, and at some point, it just wasn't fun anymore," O’Brien says. In 2004, O'Brien had a huge season: He got a wildcard entry into Pipeline Masters and won, becoming one of the event's youngest champions at age 21. He also produced his first surf movie, "Freak Show." In 2005, he still dabbled in contests when the moment struck, but he mainly focused on creating a new genre of professional surfing – freesurfing.
"I have fun filming and traveling and making memories that will last forever," he says. "That's where my head was at." He produced the follow-up 2008 surf film, "Freak Side," then went on to star in the 2010 film "Who is JOB?," which changed the face of surf movies by delivering the perfect freesurfing film, capturing some of the best waves around the world. The film won multiple awards at Surfer magazine's Surfer Awards.
"No matter what, you want to win," he says. When Red Bull came to O'Brien in 2012 and said they were interested in a web video series, he decided to turn "Who is JOB?" into an ongoing saga, which quickly became one of the most popular shows on Red Bull TV.
In the series, O'Brien and his sidekick Poopies adventure around the world, doing hilarious acts like surfing mud puddles, and attempting 20-foot waves on a blow-up raft. "We've got a really fun vibe and we're trying to bring out the inner kid in all of us," O’Brien says.
"Who is JOB?" has continued to go from strength and strength, keeping viewers around the world entertained. Fans of O’Brien can tune into Who is JOB? on Red Bull TV.
