Jamie O’Brien, goofy-footer, painter
Hey, it’s a new episode of Who Is JOB 2.0! Episode 15 highlights Jamie’s scary-good ability to ride switch (best applied in waves of consequence or through layback hacks). He also scoops a new quiver of guns and helps decorate one of them. Switchfoot – the future, or… no?
haha norc! try beat the guy down for his hair colour – yea nice one you f**kin dork. I cant understand the hate for JOB, he seems super mellow and humble, surfs like a freak and owns pipe. Just cause he doesnt have a comb over and wear xxl vee necks and strut around like hes owed something – he gets hate?
Yo, This is Stabmag.com not the fucking Surfers Journal. Please keep your comments short, sharp and to the point.
he surfs good, but gosh, what a twat this guy is…
The sport of surfing has spawned many other board sports. Skateboarding, windsurfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding and kite boarding come to mind. All of these offshoots of surfing have left surfing for dead in one area. Riding ambidextrous or going switch foot.
Most surfers go through their whole lives without even trying to surf the other way. Their ego stops them as they don’t want to look like a kook. Being a goofy foot on the North Coast of OZ surfing mostly right handers, if the wave has an easy take-off I go switch as the excitement level is raised just doing any turn, and getting barreled is amazing.
Anybody out there that wants to try, start going switchfoot on your skateboard down a gentle slope. Getting your back foot to learn how to turn is the hardest bit. When you feel comfortable turning the skateboard into tighter turns, the next step is trying to surf switchfoot. The easiest way is find a nice peeling one metre high wave. Take off kneeling up and when you feel in control jump up switchfoot with your hands on the rails until you stabilize.
Jeffrey’s Bay is pumping 3 metre waves, a surfer takes off goofy and blasts a couple of vertical backhand re-entries on the big walls of the Bay. He does a cutback, switches feet and then flies along the Supertubes section getting barreled naturally.
I think it is funny how we watch all the other board sports switch feet and take it for granted, and most surfers never even try it!
We have tow in surfing, carving surfing and aerial surfing. The future of surfing is being able to do all types of surfing switch foot. Jamie is the best Surfer in the World. Show me the video of any other Surfer that can do what he does!

Simon Law charged pipe switchfoot. You sound like an excellent surfer, if you want confirmation of that, just ask yourself. Please, no self promotion without video evidence. JOB is top 3 surfer in the world.
when you take off switch and blow waves I’ll be right there to burn you each time. thanks for the switchfoot tutorial on how to blow waves and look like a barney doing it.
Yeah EZB963, keep your answers short and simple because there could be some dimwits who can’t read very well!!! I agree with all you said and thought your response was alot more to the point and infinitely more interesting than the response following that attacks you.
EZB963, where did you find so many letters? This is a surfer forum, you shouldn’t post message of more than 140 characters.
JOB needs to exist, it’s one of those scrounger, cannot be a competitor (he hides his bitterness with sarcasms against ASP, but so often it’s more than suspect…), cannot handle the fact that he was so close of being really famous, but still in a position he can vanish in a matter of months. He surfs good, but his attitude is sad to witness.
I hope he’ll fight and wins his own troubles, the kid deserves it.
why does he deserve it? the guy is an egotistical wanker who happens to go hard in the surf.
’cause every one deserves to be a better person. For JOB, the task is easier, he’s coming from zero.
Amazing level of skill. Switch at Chopes? NUTJOB.
Jamie O does better turns switch stance
KEEP THE CALIFORNIA SPOILED – V NECK – HIPSTER OUT OF THIS FORUM AND JOB GONNA BE THE KING!
