Surfing is already pretty cool, but how do you make it even cooler? The same way you make anything cooler: add fire. - photo by John Clyde


THE OCEAN There are certain sports that immediately give you cred and a level of cool that's hard to obtain. Some of these sports include motocross, skydiving and dressage. Wait, does dressage count? Whether it does or not is irrelevant because surfing most certainly does.

So if you're already awesome and are a pro surfer with some big contracts, then what's next? How do you really up your game from there? How about riding a tube while on fire?

Jamie O'Brien decided to take that challenge and we're grateful he did, because we got this awesome vid out of it.

Apparently getting barreled on one of the world's heaviest waves while on fire has been a dream of O'Brien's for a long time. We clearly have different dreams, but his are much cooler than mine.

So enjoy the video and maybe we'll start adjusting our dreams to include more fire. Or maybe not. I'm actually pretty happy with my dreams of one day owning a talking llama who can do my taxes.
