FAAA, French Polynesia, Aug. 13 (UPI) — Professional surfer Jamie O’Brien traveled to Tahiti to shoot video of a unique aquatic stunt: surfing while on fire.
The video, posted to the official GoPro YouTube account, shows O’Brien’s wet suit being transformed into a fire suit and lit with a blowtorch before he rides the waves with flames lapping at his back.
O’Brien’s back is extinguished when a large wave grazes his back, but he remains on his board.
The stunt was filmed for the fourth season of O’Brien’s web series, Who is JOB 5.0. He said the fire stunt was inspired by a suggestion from a fan on Instagram.
