“So Gnarly Out There”: Despite Unsafe Conditions, Popular Music Artist Goes Couch Surfing With Son of a Lifeguard

In the world of extreme sports, the name of the YouTuber/surfer Jamie O’Brien is quite known. The son of the lifeguard has a deep connection with the ocean and is known for trying unconventional surfing. However, he often pushes the boundaries of what is considered safe. The YouTube sensation is again in the limelight for trying a new stunt, but this time he was accompanied by the popular music artist Alex Hayes.

Brien’s latest experiment has garnered a lot of attention across social media platforms as it’s both exciting and dangerous. 

The duo pulled a crazy stunt

The popular star decided to join forces for a couch surfing adventure, which involved riding waves on an inflatable couch. However, what caught the attention of many was the fact that they embarked on this adventure despite unsafe conditions in the water.

The authorities had given them clear directions to remain beyond the dry sand. It was unsafe for recreational activities, and the waves were anticipated to grow bigger. The conditions were far from ideal, with big waves recklessly slamming near the coast. Even the duo was skeptical in the beginning. “So gnarly out there,” Alex said in the video. Yet despite the warnings, Jamie and Alex chose to take on the task head-on. The two can be seen riding the inflatable couch with enthusiasm and dodging the waves as they smash around them in a video that was later posted to Jamie O’Brien’s Facebook page.
