Isn't it the way every day? Get out there and have some fun, whether you've been training or not. Let's get this going despite the set-backs! Imua! It's "dead as a door nail" because those nails are bent over not to move again. It's awesome you got to do this together. One to remember all your life. Makes me want to get out on live water like this. So beautiful pictures of the waters I see so rarely now.

Love this video. Makes me miss home and paddling. I'll be back someday Aloha

Thank you so much for producing and posting! Very inspiring!

Wow, those are some incredible downwind conditions... Fantastic video, fantastic paddling...

Great video and paddle talk/narration from Kai!

Awesome video - can’t wait to come back to Maui to race

How good is it to get those 1,2 or even 300 meter runs on a wave!? A surfer will always out-run a more experienced kayaker because they know when to put in those hard strokes to get that run!

as a beginning kayaker your video is very inspiring! Beautiful footage, narration, paddle on!

awesome!

Epic!

That looks like some amazing surf! Drone footage is the best

Beautiful vid, mahalo for sharing your thoughts and experience 🤙🏽

CHEEEE HUUUUUU!!! What an epic video. Thank you! 🌸

Super rad video dude!!

I really enjoyed the narrative aspect.

I would love to do this run but in a surfski. Great video.

I've watched this over 10 times. Lake Ontario paddler with an Ares, dreaming of what else I can do. Thank you Kai!

That place would be epic (except for the cold) for dowwinding. There's tons of fetch there.

'ia orana Kai :) Mauruuru roa for keeping the stoke alive and inspiring us all. Another epic chronicle to enjoy when I am not in my canoe (where I really always want to be). Lots of wisdom in there too for one's back pocket ;) Mahalo for sharing your knowledge Aloha from Hornby Island in the Salish Sea 🤙

Magnifique !

Amazing brow! Maybe one day I can do that... :D

Cheeee...EPIC! Ares no ka 'oi! 👊💪

I have to try outrigger paddling. We don't have any clubs where I'm from. The closest club only does dragon boats

Kai Barltett, David Attenborough. Good video, good calm voice

this vid was 2hrs 44 mins too short. great paddling

It is interesting that at 4:48 he commented that the time of the run is always the same. Such a situation is very interesting as the conditions I see eliminate the power of the paddler. What I see before me, is a situation not different from the escapement of a clock with its pendulum or frequency detecting circuits that control the timing of the clock. Every coast has its particular shape and terrain and the windy conditions during the seasons follow a routine performance with what the spring and summer and autumn and winter bring about. The size of the wave determines its forward velocity and what we see is the traveling wave, not a stationary standing wave and the speed of the wave is approximately 1.5*Sqrt(distance between the peaks) Now the paddler would be stupid not to fit in the natural wave as going faster or slower he would need to use his muscle power to drive but with going with the wave, he would extract energy out of the wave but he thus needs to forget his own desire to get there faster as that would kill the paddler for he would have to give his canoe his own energy rather than make the canoe rob the energy from the slope of the wave by phasing his position correctly. Such a situation requires more brains than muscles and the trick is to synchronize and phase the location on the front slope of the wave and that would be an almost constant speed the natural speed of nature itself. For those interested in clocks, one would know that a simple natural pendulum keeps better timing than one with a compound pendulum. Again what we see in this video is the characteristic of nature itself producing a traveling wave according to the natural situation of the environment and the clever paddler synchronizing his phase shift to extract energy out of the wave where the price of that is that he needs to move at a constant speed of the wave. That is the reason why they always make that run at approximately the same time. Do not fight against nature and it will help you live a better life. If that run had to be done in calm waters, the paddlers would have tired out and taken much longer while an engine on a boat covering 30 miles well for a 100 HP motor that would need about 30 gallons of fuel. So waiting for the right wind and work in harmony with nature, in return it will assist you. But the city people do not want to work with nature and always against it and hence the result of many depressed people wanting to arrive at their destination on time to be city-wage slaves.

The energy of the swell (and wind waves) propagates at a speed called *_"group velocity"_* , which is *half* that of any individual wave (called *_"phase velocity"_* ). Wave energy travels in small groups (or packets) of a few waves, and the wave which initially stays at the end of the packet, as it travels faster than the group, in less than a minute, arrives at the forefront of the group where it dies. Even if you catch the biggest wave and surf it for hundreds meters, this wave will suddendly disappear when arriving at the front of the wave packet, and your long surf will stop, till you catch one of the next waves arriving behind. That's why you cannot surf the same wave for miles and miles in the open ocean : surfing is always intermittent. The best paddlers, or the luckiest ones, can travel for miles and miles with the same wave packet, without loosing it (as it happens from times to times for less talented paddlers).

so jealous

Not antennas, they are vents that allow the inside of the hulls to change pressure without letting water in.
