The Psycho Rookie That Never Got To Surf | LOB Hawaii 2022

Liam O'Brien busted his foot the day before the event started in a (relatively) small Pipe tube (somehow not on the massive slob at 1:21).

LOB’s likely out for at least four months, meaning he won’t make the cut after the Australian leg. This is a real shame, because according to his Hawaiian highlight reel above, the Australian looked prepared to do some damage this year.

Your Soon-To-Be-Favorite Surfer

We're kinda freaking out over Liam O'Brien and this new edit by Billy Lee Pope.

Despite a solid standing heading into the 2019 Triple Crown, Liam O'Brien did not qualify for the 2020 Championship Tour.

Please note: this was not for a lack of effort in Hawaii.

As we see in Liam's most recent cinematic output, Nadir Nadir, the Australian made great use of his time at Billabong's Off The Wall house, mostly by spending all of his time at Off The Wall.

While the rest of the world was sipping coffee and talkin' 'bout "morning sickness", Liam was five closeouts deep at too-big, mostly-hideous OTW. His determination finally paid off with a fluttering, seemingly unmakable bomb that somehow stayed hollow enough for an escape through the end-bowl.

A Wave of the Winter contender, no doubt.

Following his silent but deadly performance in Hawaii, Liam headed home to catch the tail end of the Australian summer. Cyclone season did not disappoint.

The resulting film has left the Stab team in various states of disarray.

You can watch it above.
