“My Chest Is Getting Destroyed”: Surfing on a Lego Board Turns Out To Be a Nightmare for Popular Social Media Star

Every passing day proves that surfing is not just limited to taking on the waves with your surfboard. Earlier, the industry had seen surfers riding high waves that go up to 80ft and more, or even surfing in the air with a special balloon. However, these unique tricks sometimes do not bode well for the surfers which ends up giving them a tough time. Recently, famous commercial videographer and social media star, Brad Jacobson tried something new with a Lego surfboard which left him with a painful experience. 

On May 26, Brad Jacobson took to his YouTube to share his attempt at surfing at Manhattan Beach. Although he succeeded in his surfing attempts, his chest ended in a bizarre situation. 

Brad Jacobson surfing on a Lego surfboard was an out-of-the-box idea

In the YouTube video, Brad Jacobson was seen taking on the waves with his multicolored block-by-block built Lego surfboard. The social media star took the board in the water and lay on it to gain momentum before surfing on the waves. However, as he lay on the board, the Lego blocks pressed against Jacobson’s naked chest. “Oww..oww..oww..” was all he was heard saying for thirty seconds.

At one point, when he was paddling with his hands while lying on the board, he said, “my chest is getting destroyed.” He went on to show his elbows that had angry red marks due to the Lego blocks. Despite bearing the pain, Jacobson successfully surfed in the water, while his facial expressions continued to indicate the trouble he was experiencing in his arms and chest.  

By the end of the video, Jacobson was seen reiterating, “One of the most painful things I’ve ever done in my life.” Saying this, he showed his bare  torso to the camera, which looked like he had been ruthlessly bitten by an insect. Although, the idea of surfing on a Lego surfboard seemed interesting, Jacobson did not fathom the damage he would incur.

Surfers and swimmers often make mistakes in understanding how water can react to certain aspects. Like, 23-year-old Collin Bosse, a competitive surfer in San Diego.

Surfer hurts himself due to a miscalculation

Everything was working fine for him until Bosse made a mistake in calculating the depth of water. The SDSU student was hanging out with his friends on Mission Bay, off Dawes Street, San Diego, last month, when he encountered a life-changing experience. 

 Bosse entered the ocean, without analyzing the depth. Within seconds, he hit his head on the bottom of the rocky bed and developed a traumatic injury. He never imagined that he could get hurt in the water. He expressed to 10 News San Diego, “I’m little upset I’m never going to be the same way ever again. But then, there’s no reason to feel sorry for myself” He added that water had always been an integral part of his life and now it was also the cause of a near-death experience.

Although riding waves and swimming in water might be fun, it has consequences that should not be neglected. Be it surfing using innovative surfboards, or diving headfirst into the ocean.
