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.
They displayed their extraordinary capacity for risk-taking as they surfed the swells while laughing and cheering. The gigantic waves and large splash of water gave chilling effects to the viewers. Overall, the video was a blend of thrill and courage. However, this is not the first time when Jamie made the audience jump out of their seats with his crazy stunts.
