Jamie O’Brien’s idea of fun would be terrifying for most of us, but growing up in front of Pipeline must have conditioned him from an early age, because he joyously puts himself in some of the burliest conditions imaginable. His wave riding skills have earned him an impressive collection of titles and recognition as an elite pro, but it’s his fun-loving antics that have endeared him to fans around the world.
His embrace of alternative surf craft is legend, an innovator of fun on everything from soft tops to inflatables. And in his garage, propped handily by the door, you will find his Carver. So as with everything Jamie does, joining the Carver team came from an authentic connection to our boards and how they ride. It’s an alliance that shares the mission to spread the stoke, to go big and to have fun. His pro model boards, like his personality, are full of colour and energy and geared for performance.
If all of that wasn’t enough for you, you can now get your very own JOB in your pocket, with the brand new Jamie O’Brien Surf App. It contains all the surf tips and tricks from the man himself so you can take your surfing to the next level – https://jamieobrien.com Join us on this journey with Jamie O’Brien including the Camo Tiger and Blue Tiger pro models both fully suited for your surf skate shredding needs. Throw buckets and Stay Psyched.
We wanted to make a bigger board for Jamie that could rise to the challenge of his wild exploits, so the Camo has a full nose kick for that locked-in feeling and wider stance for fast carving and transition riding.

What’s the difference between the C7 and the CX?
The C7 dual-axis truck set is very fluid, like riding a single fin surfboard and replicating the lateral sway you feel as you pump for speed. The dual axis allows the rider to adjust both axis independently for fine tuning. It’s a bit heavier than CX truck, but the internal spring system allows for a wide range of adjustment. The trailing arm and wide adjustment range make this truck better for faster speeds and fluid surfing.Carver
The CX truck is a single -axis truck with a precision pivot pin which allows for very snappy turns, like riding a thruster surfboard, and replicating the quick response you feel as you pump for speed. The single axis permits one axis of adjustment before a different shape or hardness of bushing is needed. It’s the same weight as a standard truck, but the simpler, lighter truck design is better for airs, skate parks and transition.
