You may, or may not, know Jackson Lebsack from his stint as one of Jamie O’Brien’s camera operators. He was doing camera/action sports type things long before that, though.
In 2019, he was hired for Ski.com’s Epic Dream Job, which, as the title suggests, is an epic dream job. From January to February 2019, he traveled to seven different countries on three separate continents. He rode at more than a dozen destinations available on the Epic Pass, including Whistler Blackcomb and Fernie in Canada; Vail, Park City and Breckenridge in the U.S.; Verbier in Switzerland; Courchevel in France and Hakuba Valley in Japan. He filmed the whole thing, and it set him on the path towards the surfing world, where JOB hired him.
Since he left the O’Brien fold, he’s struck out on his own. Vlogging, merch, the works. He’s currently in Portugal, where he took a page from Jamie O’Brien and his love for the Waimea River wave and created a river wave of his own. Before you scream at us, yes, we wrote about this river wave already this week. But that was looking at a group vlog Jackson works on called the “Sickos.” The wave was abnormally big, to say the least. In fact, it got out of hand. And unfortunately, Jackson, nor any of his friends, could muster up the cajones to surf it with any sort of proficiency. So this is Jackson’s personal vlog, where he goes into a little more detail on the regret of not riding this monster. This one might haunt him.
