Jamie O’Brien and Brad Domke swap boards in Mexico

What happens when two of the boardsport world’s biggest hypebeasts drift into the lineup of a Mexican beachie with a skimboard and a shortboard? The footage above happens. Jamie O’Brien, surfing’s best skimboarder, and Brad Domke, skimboarding’s best surfer, did a BFF trip to Mex and it is unmissable. They swap boards, both absolutely surprising with skillz on the other’s craft. Domke knifes some huge barrels on Jamie’s foam and Jamie drifts some big fade turns on Domke’s skim. Fun fact: Domke’s skim is a completely regular, un-modified shape. Clip by Dylan Palmer
