Welcome to paradise

Chris’s crazy streak meets his inner eco-warrior in a season finale to remember: a naked skydive to raise awareness about Africa’s rhino poaching crisis! But before the big leap from 12,000ft, Chris visits a wildlife reserve that’s experienced the devastating effects of poaching firsthand.

It’s Chris day of fun: an impromptu fishing competition with a good mate followed by some soulful (i.e.: tequila-fuelled) guitar ballads at a local bar. All the R&R is a good idea ahead of next week, when Chris takes some rather radical action for rhino conservation.

It’s Chris’s craziest adventure yet! He’s off to the big city to play cheerleader for childhood-buddy-turned-radio DJ ‘Action Tam’, who’s skydiving – topless!! – for the anti-poaching cause. Try not to stare, Chris...

It should have been the most amazing underwater dive shoot ever – a sardine migration of massive proportions with all of the ocean’s biggest predators present. So why did Chris end up stalking goats instead? Watch to find out!

Chris and the dive crew finally leave city traffic behind and arrive at their destination: one of the world's best dive spots and the perfect place to film the fearsome-looking ragged-tooth shark. After an action-packed shoot, there’s a bit of time to show off their (lack of!) stand-up paddle surfing skills.

In this episode, Chris gets a real job assisting a film crew and he's thrilled (even if it means posing as 'shark bait'!). It's also Chris's first visit to the city in ages and he's keen to take in some of the nightlife.

In our latest episode, Chris goes from carefree beach bum to concerned eco-warrior as he helps local authorities clean up an oil spill that’s threatening to contaminate the beach. After all the hard work, it’s quality time with a girl close to Chris’s heart: his dog Sanjay.

Ever wanted to swap the daily grind for a life of fun, sea and sun in a tropical paradise? Chris Stear beat you to it. Young, hot and carefree, he’s living the dream in the coastal town of Ponta do Oura in Mozambique. Miles away from the boring nine-to-five, earning a living means a little luck and a lot of odd jobs. In this video series, we go from surf session to cocktail hour (and an amazing underwater film shoot or two) as Chris tries to fund the ultimate beach-bum lifestyle.

Professional beach bum … It’s a nice job if you can get it! We step into Chris’s world as he does a bit of free-dive filming on a local reef to earn some cash.
