That opening shot was fabulous. The music was perfect throughout. Surfing goofy foot better than in my wildest dream and holding a camera in one hand, a kite in the other, so no need to walk back up the beach, or how about a foil, Kai is one talented genius!
This is properly nuts. Being the master of your craft in one pursuit is hard enough but Kai is a freak across multiple disciplines and he's not just making up the numbers, he's pioneering every space. It's inspiring to watch and uninspiring to reflect on my own mediocrity.
Howzit Kai, was hoping you went to Peru for the windsurf contest this week. I'd be shocked if you knew me by name, but you would recognize me and probably the dogs in my profile pic. I see you regularly at the beach and on the water...your girls are sure growing fast! I love the quality, length and frequency of your videos...it makes it hard to get enough or get burned out. You're no longer a teen/grom like when I first moved to Maui, but I saw a video by Max German today about a message to his teenage self that all of us could have used. Aloha and thanks for all you share with us mere mortals🙏❣❣
04:20 - when Hanns and then Thomas cruised by, deep down you wished you had only brought windsurfing equipment with. Be honest! Super cool video Kai, a man of many skills.
No one gets more water and wave time than you Kai. Your manipulation of the wind is excellent! Riding in the pocket with a kite next level, the escape over the top was just excellent, a work of instinctual art for me! To see those two windsurfers carving it up behind you surreal as well, yep was thinking it could easily been you doing that too. Amazing althele Kai, one of a kind. Well done mate! ❤❤❤❤❤
Pretty sure he would have brought windsurf gear if it was convenient like wing/kite gear. I see him windsurfing at Ho'okipa regularly...it's the OG way for wind and waves.
He writes why he did not bring windsurfing gear in the description. Nonetheless, I think it's the best kite content I've seen from Skeleton Bay, totally wicked. Kai is one of a kind.
Love using the kite to reverse and loft over the wave closing out. Nice to a have an out. Looks like everyone was dressed for cold. How cold is it there?
Epic surfing. Can I ask you a question? You are one of the only ones who has straps on his kite wave board. It looks very handy to get over the white water :). Can you guide us a bit why you use them? Thank you.
You should list which tracks you're using. The music during the first half of the kite surfing sounded like Glass Beams. hella cool Oh, and obviously, beautiful surfing!
More on why I didn’t bring it. Forecast was saying one afternoon of wind which turned out to be every day of wind 🤣 Also, the chances all the gear was slim so I had to limit to two board bags. Next time I’ll just send it
@@KaiLenny98does not seem to be easy at all with wingfoiling kit , but was it funny ? ? I m windsurfer and wingfoiler as well (and surfer and goofy 😂😂😂)
Meh. This is just surfing while holding a kite out of the power-zone. Might as well dump the kite and just surf.... or he could be power-looping and ripping down the line, and then cutting back into the barrel.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that he swapped to switch whilst controlling a kite and still got his feet in the straps. Also the switch at 7:11 is insane, those are some Michael Jackson feet.
That switch tube ride was soooo dope. Respect.

Потрясающе, великолепно и шикарно. Покоритель непокорных волн. Всех благ!😊❤❤❤❤❤❤🖐🌊🌞🌎🌌💐
Nate Florence posted killer footage from this day/trip as well❣
Just noticed a link in the description 🤪
Loved the kite control down the line then the boost over the back of the whitewash to then tack back using the wind to the top of the lineup. Insane.
Awesome! Sultan of waves)))
Awesome footage 🙌
That’s awesome barrrl with kite👍
Fantastic camerawork, beautiful area.
Great interview with Tulsi Gabbard and thanks for all you do for Maui fire survivors❣❣❣
1st time ever watching something lime this so cool.
The switch tube ride was simply amazing, hats off to you !!!
I knew Kai would drop the best Video !!
Great drone videoing.
The Man the Myth the Legend Nuff Said 👍
That intro is freaking sickkkk 🤟🏼👌🏼🤩
shreddddding that desert!
This is properly nuts. Being the master of your craft in one pursuit is hard enough but Kai is a freak across multiple disciplines and he's not just making up the numbers, he's pioneering every space. It's inspiring to watch and uninspiring to reflect on my own mediocrity.
And he could have windsurfed it just as well.
💯
@@StephenBeveridgedef paddle Boarding as well damn
Iam sure you are a very descent waterman. Don't be to hard on yourself. Peace
he has great handjob game too, so sick brah👌

I love the "paddle out" with a kite! That's definitely huge on such a long wave! OMG
i just love how versatile kai is at water sports!
Watche Nates video YOU ROCK I AM AMAZED AT YOUR SKILLS.
You are amazingly talented dude, that switch foot...impressive
Thank you very much!
It's a side effect of being a legendary windsurfer🤩

@@vprwave Oh, cool. I didn't see that obviously, but forecasts suck and Kai is a living legend.
Totally Radical edit! Music, drone footage, & FPV GoPro!! 🙌🤙
That is incredible, insane talent, Kai Lenny
Awesome video - brother you are truly Poseidon of our lifetime. Just the music is middle eastern and you were in Middle Africa.
The right tool for the job! Hell of a performance
I was waiting for him to surf a sandworm.
Thanks for the footage @KaiLenny98, they're the days to live for!
Amazing video kai...why no windsurfing in it? :(
read the description
Amazing work Kai
Awesome Kai, this is a first for Skeleton Bay.
check out Keahi's film - "Tunnel Vision", he kited this place a few years ago
Great footage. Awesome riding. To bad you did not windsurf this wave. Nevertheless great stuff.
Thank you that was a very great edit
Kai you have earned it... So go ahead and print that T-shirt that says "INCREDIBLE" across the front
Bro's majestic
The Best
absolute god of the board
Visionary.
Nuts Kai!
Bravo ❤️

AMAZING
unreal°!!!
Great music!
insane
EPIC!
I miss switching feet. Proper future living in this video. While guys are hassling for scraps, Kai's basically in another reality.

With surfing crowds the way they are across the world you are watching the future for many surf breaks
You should list which tracks you're using. The music during the first half of the kite surfing sounded like Glass Beams. hella cool
Oh, and obviously, beautiful surfing!
Take windsurfing kit next time please...from an old school windsurfer lol
he did explain why no windsurfing in the description...I missed it before commenting as well.

@@KaiLenny98 So cool to see you in SA, your tube riding in JBay was amazing too.
A true waterman 💪
@@KaiLenny98does not seem to be easy at all with wingfoiling kit , but was it funny ? ? I m windsurfer and wingfoiler as well (and surfer and goofy 😂😂😂)
Great conditions, shame no windsurf. Slept thru the WF/KS sequences....! Please give these lame activities up! 😈
lol
A good workout to say the least !
You guys had to be wore out!! Redbull it gave you 🪽
All those other sports besides surfing should be Olympic Sports not Breakdancing! Amazing footage...I love it and it is first of a kind!!!!
Sick! Music? Glass Beams?
Kai F$cking Lenny! 🤯
I think his actual middle name is "Waterman" but your suggestion is fitting
Kai N° 1💪
That water looked disgusting, I bet he'll love to be back in Hawaii where the water is clean and blue.
Kai = Muad'dib
BomB💣
Imagine Kai craving on his SUP 👍
Come on fam. Show some wipe outs. lol
That call would be dangerous but the zip back out would make up for that
That landscape tho
It took me a few minutes to realize that he’s surfing switch. In windsurfing every time you turn around, you’re switching your feet
Kite was best. Overpowered on the foil.
🌊🤪👊
Switch barrel riding both kiting and surfing is off the hook
Cameraman: ok, I want you to walk on the sand dune and then point…hold it, hold it….
Weird wave pattern- perpendicular to the beach.
The switch at 7:11🤘
Teach Nate to kite.
Here I was just yesterday saying on Nate's YT channel we don't get to see enough of Kai kiting. Thanks.
He’s learning!
@@KaiLenny98 Awesome
WTF?? You can just change feet in your straps, post bottom turn, and go backside???? You fucking freak! I love you
Kai surfs better switch then 90% of the population surfs regular
Walvis Bay - Namibia , if anyone wants to know.
Is he not a goofyfooter??
😅
bruh 12 footer and he switches stance in the lip
It's only 6 feet in Kai's language 😉
Fuck yes
Ripping as a goofy foot.ya Kai
where's Doug Silva?!?!?!
would've been sick to have him there!
Completely wrong music. That's S Western Africa! Not Arabia! Great waves though. 🏄😎
I did prefer koas surf and video though
very cool!
Meh. This is just surfing while holding a kite out of the power-zone. Might as well dump the kite and just surf.... or he could be power-looping and ripping down the line, and then cutting back into the barrel.
lol
Why choosing this arabic music while you're in Africa?
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that he swapped to switch whilst controlling a kite and still got his feet in the straps.
Also the switch at 7:11 is insane, those are some Michael Jackson feet.
Saharan Africa, North African music :/ but cool stunts…
Cringy intro, your sponsors make you carry a board all the way up a sand dune to some Arabian style music 😂 just get into the surfing / kiting bro
Challenge accepted
playa espectacular
Which kite? Amazing drift
Looks like Reo or AR session
