Jamie O’Brien vs the Wedge

Posted 04 Sep 2012, by STABmag

Yesterday, you might’ve seen the Full Frame we ran of Jamie O’Brien surfing Newport Wedge, in California. So, here’s some footage from the session. While this may not be the best clip you’ve ever seen, it’s still a truly captivating wave, and we dig seeing Jamie in a steamer, surfing a big left that isn’t Pipe. And, dragging his kicker through it just as well as he does at home.

Haha. I actually made this edit and am by no means a pro. This is one of my first edits and just wanted to show some buddies the surf in an entertaining and stylistic way that i particularly like. Whether or not you think it should be on this site– thats your call– but i’m stoked it is and hope you enjoy it.

Cheers

STAB, please explain why that clip was posted.. fucking ridiculous call from the work experience kid.

Mate i made the first comment and i’m not a fan of the hipster shit, but really what was the purpose of that clip? it was horrible, showed about 3 shitty waves and some people on shore.

Jamie is a douche but goes hard. I want to see some decent surfing and stuff when i come to a surf site, is that too much too ask for??????

Anyone talking shit on this clip is bitching for bitchings sake. Only thing missing is a water angle. Maybe a rack of boobs. Try watching it in silence.

Charley, your cut-away shots are good, but there’s just too many of them. Show more surfing next time.

    some clips were a little off but i liked it, very entertaining. I was there and since nobody was making any waves, represented what truly happened. cant please all the people all the time…

3.

the only problem with jamie is that he doesn’t like girls.. he is a good surfer though

4.

      how is this not decent surfing….at the wedge ppl rarely make waves and its all about the deep closeout barrels. so maybe no shots of the wedge/

Fucked, with a capital F

10.

nice try redbull

    11.

    no way this was a redbull clip, theres not even one redbull logo in it?? kook

12.

looks like the wedge got the better of jamie. unlucky mate

13.

yeah good clip….short but sweet

14.

this kook couldnt film or edit to save themselves

15.

Jesus Christ! After surviving the epileptic fit that this piece of shit just induced, i’m not even thankful to be alive.

16.

Hipster wont like it…no indie wank rock, no bad hair do….0 hipster out of 10 hispters

17.

nothing to write home about but i must agree with the general consensus. All of you are a bunch of hipster fag wannabees who wanna see tight jeans and shitty thrift shop rings all over your pro surfers. That or you want them to be Nike jocked out, surfing is fucked and yes Jamie sucks but this horribly edited clip isnt half as bad as most of the emo-hipster bullshit that gets posted here

I liked the clip. To be fair I was one of the guys body surfing. I even think I saw the top of my head. Closest I’ll ever get to be in Stab.

    20.

    whats it like copping a pounding there mate? must be pretty intense..

21.

this by far was the worst edit i have ever seen

22.

yikes…

23.

i thought the edit was pretty sick

24.

Other things you can do for fun: Purposely run into the pier pilings at Huntington, or drink the water at Imperial Beach.
