Meet Brad Jacobson, known for his YouTube channel dedicated to chasing waves and the daring souls who conquer them. In his recent video he has taken on an intriguing challenge In a video that has already garnered thousands of views. Jacobson set out to tackle two questions that had been intriguing him: Can a snowboard stay afloat in water, and could a wave be surfed using one?
Teaming up with the skilled surfer Julien Williams, the duo embarked on an uncharted journey. Williams, after waxing up the top sheet of a snowboard, paddled out on a foam surfboard to put the theory to the test. With determination, Williams caught a wave on his surfboard and attempted a jump onto the snowboard. After six valiant attempts, he managed to catch a part of the wave on the snowboard, though the success might not hold up in professional surfing competitions.
From the Youtube Description:
" I finally figured out if a snowboard could be surfed. It was worth the wait. My friend Julian Williams was kind enough to assist me even though it meant paddling out on a soft top with a snowboard at one of the most crowded line-ups in the world. Thanks for coming along with me to try this out. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand. "
