Surfing JAWS & MAVERICKS within 24 hours
Спорт
One of the biggest swells to hit California first passed by Jaws on Maui.
We first paddled surf clean Jaws before hopping on a flight to Mavericks in California to immediately surf the biggest and most unruly Mavericks I've seen. We came home in one piece!

No one else has even come close to surfing big waves as mental as Kai. The dream has finally been realized. Surfing giant surf as if it were ripable head high trestles!
My jaw is on the floor. Kai is the future of surfing, finding kickers and quarters on big waves to throw down tricks in surf that most couldn't even drop in on. Insane, wishing you excellent health for 2024.

His paddle in at Jaws is amazing.
I was on the beach/bottom of the cliff at Mavs that day, couldn't see the surfers too well, but then I saw one exit the wave by jumping like 10ft high and doing a crazy 540 spin flip move, and I said out loud "That has to be Kai Lenny" and one of the guys flying the drones next to me said "It was" lmao so sick!

In big waves, Kai Lenny is surfing and almost everyone else is surviving. At Nazare, he stalls and gets barreled and makes it while everyone else is just going as fast as they can, hoping they don't get smashed.

Grew up around there in Pacifica. I use sit on the jetti and just watch the sudden wave changes and how Mav's broke. Wasn't as popular back then as it is now and it still continues to impress. Nothing like it.

@@S0ulinth3machin3 Mavericks is about 7 or 8 miles south of there. It can be head-high to slightly overhead at Half Moon Bay Jetty (fun little wedge wave, a little on the soft side) but 1 mile and a half or 2 miles (as crow flies) out to the peak at Mavericks it's life and death conditions. Half a mile north at Ross' Cove it's half the size or less?

15:18 how did Ridge stay up? Mavericks: imma gonna wipe you out. Ridge: No.
INSANE session at Mavs!!! Hit by the lip at 15:19 AND HE POWERS THROUGH! Crazy awesome surfing and breathtaking footage. WOW. 🌊💙🌊💥
So Heavy! This young man has extended the realm of big wave surfing, tow in or not! Radical.
It's amazing how incredibly talented you are. There couldn't be a better ambassador for the sport and art of surfing, keep killin it man 🤙

He really is becoming one of the greatest watermen
Boggles the mind the things you do Kai. And, you really really need to take your film crew out to dinner because they continue to impress (they absolutely killed it on the pipeline video).
Thank you guys. In these unprecedented times when most people allow the media to divide and conquer a video like this shows you just need to focus on whatever you have passion about and just go for it. Anything is possible if you block out the madness. This is what it means to find what you love to do in life and make a career out of it. You don't really ever need an alarm clock. Just work each day to get better at it ultimately seeking to be the best version you can be at it. Thanks again. This footage shows the vastness of our planet. That ocean is pure energy. I avoid negativity as much as possible and seem to still be surrounded by it. After watching this I can tune out the negative and focus on the positive. Keep doing what you do guys.
The balance and strength to control those drops!!!! I've surfed for 40 years (for fun) and my mind still cannot grasp the talent I see with these guys. Stay safe!
What an incredible video. I love that POV shot where you're flying through the air. Truly inspiring.
Stunning images and fitting music. I really enjoyed that! You sir are a master and an artist! That was dope AF, cheers!
That Mavericks session was insane, no half measures with Kai , full send as always . I was at pipe and seen your accident mate , hope your ok and glad you chose to wear that helmet.🙏🤙
I lived on the Coastside for 20 years and I've never seen anyone surf Mav's like that! Wow.
wow Kai, tremendous showing at Mavericks. way to work hard and show up
Kai, That was amazing! You should create a new category in the sport and call it, "Acrobatic surfing."
I never tire of watching Kai surf.
Wow, 56 years of watching waves and being a grom, we used to sail out of the marina down there, (I'm from Florida) Kai redefines it all, mellow, smooth, fully into the flow. Just lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing. . .
Anyone else notice he drops in goofy foot at 2:36? INSANE
I needed a few minutes to let my brain fully register what I just watched. I think I witnessed the highest and longest cutback in history. And possibly the best recovery on the lip of death ☠️. What power and finesse encompassing old and new styles mixed into a perfect surfer. Thanks kid. 😊
Incredible. Nobody does it like Kai
Please don't tell me it's over!😢 That was breathtaking!❤More!!!
Wow, what amazing waves! Great surfing and so creative on the faces...
You are most definitely ‘at one’ with your environment. Just beautiful! 😍
That Mavs edit was incredible
Great footage of an absolutely amazing athlete. Always a joy to watch. Thank you 🙏🏻
Pure JOY. In my next life i want to be Kai Lenny. The superhero music was perfect. KZread needs to offer a magnifier in the Thumbs Up button.
Incredible footage of a once-in-a-generation prodigy shredding some beastly waves with such style!
Kai Lenny is the best big wave surfer in the world .
People can see how tired you looked heading out really early start at Mavericks, that was epic to watch jet ski's look a must at Mavericks
You're amazing! Great footage. Thanks for sharing it.
continuity from many angles / mind blowing/thankyou Kai
I love that you leave the raw audio with ambient sounds. Thanks for being a rad surfer and your content!!
Amazing surf action! I briefly thought about the carbon footprint of flying to chase big swell but then realized that was a total buzz kill and decided to enjoy the amazing surf action.
Kai is so exciting to watch!
Can't get better !! All the dangles.. What dreams are made of.
Bravo Kai ! You are Amazing, and Blessed to be Able to Surf those Giant Waves! Abrazos!
You just made my New Year better. Thank you Kai.
Kai dancing with the waves.
rare case where the epic music is justified
Sublime. Your lines are artistry.🏄♀️
1.34 INSANITY! Mad respect!
'Why is everyone coming in?" You're comedy! Another amazing show Kai.
Epic! As you know that’s what got Mark Foo(chasing the swell from Hi to Mavs, no sleep?). You’re better and so is the gear, but still stay rested brother, so much respect from Oregon. ❤🎉
Awesome edit; unreal surfing
Thanks Kai, and thank you to the crew for bringing us the vision. Special times we live in
Kai must have a gyroscope built inside of him. What an amazing, artistic, and powerful surfer. No fear. Beautiful to watch.
Kai Lenny’s easily the best surfer if I think about it❤
You’re a true artist on that board with the waves as your canvas! Beautiful!
True waterman on another level. Happy new year!

What a jokester. "You're first Ridge". The comment after seeing that first wave says a lot. "See that wave, there wasn't much you could do on it". Others are looking for a wave to ride, Kai is looking for a wave to do stuff on! I'm sure he's studying these videos, and looking at what his options are to improve and do even more!
Thank you Kai. Grateful.
Perfect timing. Doing physical therapy for double knee surgery and you come thru. Good looking out, Kai 🫡

That was a fun one to watch, nicely done.
I was waiting for this post…I heard you were out at Mavs, amazing edit, you left nothing on water that day, so fun to watch.
insane. as an old guy now it's so cool to see to ride from the board view. Excellent video work. Thanks
So the man.. Still! Untouchable!! ❤
I’ve been waiting for this video to come out🤙🏽
Absolutely incredible.
Amazing
Saw what you did for first time. Amazing!
No question in my mind you’re the goat

King Kai at it again
Looking good with that beard, Kai! A bunch of us were watching yo’all from the cliffs… Dynamite day. Well done!
So sick ! Happy new year!
That was gnarly
So cool! Keeping you in the light, Brah, after your incident at Pipe. Try Jarrow PS 100 for concussion recovery. Mana has. E, no break da reef! 🤙🏽
Dude, you live on another planet. And it’s f’n awesome
Saw the BD shootout and I’m glad you’re okay champ! The world wouldn’t be the same without you. keep on charging and charging the right way, you’re a hammer!
Love it
as we used to say in the 70's. Totally.
oof, the body boarder that crashed into that surfboard @2:13
Best of the best 🤙🤙🤙
Master class.

Well, that was some next level shit right there.
Amazing… in every sense
