This segment of the 2023 Mavericks Awards features Brazilian bodysurfer Kalani Lattanzi, the first person to bodysurf the big wave trifecta: Jaws, Nazare, and Mavericks.
The Mavericks Awards is a digital video performance contest in which big wave surfers and videographers submit their best surf content from Mavericks from the entire winter season. Founded by Jeff Clark and Chris Cuvelier, our mission is to celebrate Mavericks and the brave men and women that surf it. Our values of respect, inclusion, equality, safety and environmental stewardship guide all our decisions and how we operate the Mavericks Awards.

Fantastic! I mostly surf, but I love bodysurfing too. My friend and I used to bodysurf Pipeline years ago. I maxed out at 6' but my friend bodysurfed 20' Waimea Bay. So you know, you can bodysurf those waves too! On a side note, my friend told me a story of a massive hold down at Waimea that ruptured his eardrums, so... it's definitely serious out there. I really loved to see this video, keep going!!!
Come back and bodysurf it again this winter Kalani!
Lets get this straight. This is not body boarding. For that he has to lose that tiny board in his hands. He has to do this all over again.
damn straight! this is NOT BODYSURFING!!. lose the board@@mariellarojas8562
I really do love to watch these guys. There's just something that's just really natural and astetically beautiful about it. With the addition of the little hand board or womper or whatever it is has really taken this to another level. RLTW 3/75
3:34 So sick to see my drone shot of Kalani make it into the edit. 🤙🏻 The awards show was awesome live!
As someone who started bodysurfing at the age of 5 (not that seriously of course), I just want to say that surfing those waves (and with Nazaré so close) is still a dream, which I won't give up.
Old guy who used to body surf the wedge for years. Still go watch. Never lose your eye for it, just your body!!
God bless you brother.
Maximum Respect!
Some people raise the bar and kalani is one of them . Legend in the making.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
Raised the bar? Created a completely new category
@@tapeworm6093 Kalani's PR Team is in a completely new category for Bodysurfing. There's been three people known to have bodysurfed Mavericks prior to KL. He's not currently the frontrunner, in terms of performance.
@@anotherworldviewispossibleok. Where are those people? This dude is legend already.
@@HighDefinitionVideo One of them was a friend of Jeff Clark's... And apparently, he did it in Speedos. So he earns the Iron Man title. He probably rode it at around the same size as KL.
5:07 As one OG handboarder who has Charged some XXXLG In my prime '75-'92 In Hawaii and Cali from San Diego north 2 Ano Neueva.I know for a fact, Handboarding is Not Bodysurfing nor is it bodyboarding. It's a Art/Sport/Style All it's own.I find it Super fun & Still do it here on the NorthShore of Oahu,&Will till my dying day.💪✌️🖖👍🌊🌀👽♾️
How to handboard on Oahu in 1979:
1. Check for a south swell. If there is one, get ready to rock. Make some phone calls.
2. The next day, get up at 5:30am. Pick up your buddies. Head out on Kalanianaole towards Sandys.
3. Before you get there, stop at McDonald's, order a McBiscuit, eat it in two bites and steal a couple of plastic serving trays.
4. Arrive at Sandys. Smoke out if that's your thing. Get barrelled too many times to count using your stolen Mickey Ds tray as a handboard.
5. After the session is done, each buy manapuas from the truck at the side of the road. Head home.
Salute 🫡. Beautiful soul. Favorite part of this video is his tribute to Mama. All my happiness is for you Mama. 🥰🌎❤️☮️ 🌊
Very good Man!!
Awesome and awesome message at the end
"I'm swimming like a seal, and sharks like seals." I think about that every time I go out into merky waters when bodysurfing 😂.
Amazing!
I'm surprised he didn't sink to the bottom while he's dragging those giant bowling balls #LegendStatus #ForReallsGuy
This is surfing not bowling ! What video did you watch ?
@@adambane1719It's a reference to the "bowling balls" between his legs. Does the help?
Very cool. I think the sharks would worry me more than the wave!
King
great
nice one hermano
congrats dude Mavs only for legends, beautiful honour to your mum
Watching Mark Cunningham and Redwings out at big Pipeline 40 years ago made a real impression on me. That impression of course was to stay the hell out of there. Love bodysurfing small barrels, but God....the beatings on the big ones are brutal. This cat is next level insanity- that ride at Jaws was legend.
Who was "Redwings"?
@@eganc1976 Bodysurf legend Glen “Redwings” Whitford (RIP) He made a board called "Redwings Cleaver" and I copied one out of Teak in 1982 and have used the design ever since. You can look him up. There's a Point Panic Contest with his name.
Child-in-older body, this puber of 28. No wonder so many adult issues in Brasil unsolved.......
What a beast!
Make your dream❤
Correction. He became the 4th person to bodysurf Mav's. And he was hand boarding it.
He was the first to bodysurf Mavericks, Jaws _and_ Nazare. There have been others to BS each of them. I bodysurfed Mavericks 20 or more years ago, (with no board.) A little smaller than that, but not much. I got my quota of 3 waves. It was a rush, but you don't get a long ride. I've surfed scarier breaks.
@@TheTurbster You should try riding Mavericks at some legit size, then. In the video it looks to be about 12-15', which is technically breaking, but not by a whole lot. If you get caught inside when it's 20' or bigger, you may start rethinking how scary it is.
I know of one guy who got bounced off of the bottom, hard enough (while duck diving) to earn a Helicopter ride.
Luckily there's a great team of watermen keeping an eye on folks, and making rescues on the Jetskis. But if you're injured and stuck in the pit - there's not much that anyone will be able to do for you, unless you're at the surface, and they have the opportunity to grab you.
I guess Jeff Clark didn't notice or hear about your adventure. As far as I'd heard, I was the second to do it. #3 got some severe trauma. And I thought Kalani was #4... But as it turns out, a guy I know had ridden it at minimal size a few years ago, with a handboard. So that made Kalani #5 - but now #6.
Still... It's a pretty exclusive club. If you do the math, and figure like 120 Billion people on Planet Earth, all-time... And that 6 people have done it... Well we're all in a percentile with a letter "e" in it, according to the calculator on my phone.
The thing that makes Mav's so rad - is that the left is a makeable, wide-open, spitting tube, at any size that mortals would dare to bodysurf it, given the right conditions. If you watch people Bodysurfing big waves at Waimea or Pipe, the Canaries or Nazare - you don't see much in the way of clean exits and ride aways. The waves are just too fast and long (or too mushy, and not perfect enough, over on the shoulder). But that left bowl at Mav's will spit you right out, from deep, because of the way that it sets up.
Surfers are going so fast, that it's usually over for them, by the time that they get to the bottom of the left. But it's the perfect shape and speed for Gigantic Wave Bodysurfing - and it's followed by a clean, open face, if you want put in some turns and spinners, as you run in towards Sail Rock.
The video from Nazaré didn't make me want to hop on a plane. His ride at Jaws was much more impressive, and he did manage to make it out of a frothy cement-mixer of a tube... But that was with a fairly oversized handgun, pulling him through it. Kalani is a great waterman, and certainly deserves respect...
But the accomplishment level at Maverick's, so far, hasn't matched the hype levels, from what I've seen. Frankly, I think reliance on the Handboard was holding him back in this video. Instead of hanging high in the Tube, on his side - he winds up dropping down too low, and dragging his dick, on some waves that I think he could have made, using a technique more suited to the situation - just with bare hands, or training paddles.
I'm pretty sure there have been other BSers to ride Mavericks. Judith Sheridan, for one. But most BSers I know aren't into publicity. We don't have publicists following us around. The day I was out was also a solid 12-15', but as you say, you need the right conditions. There was a crowd out for the rights, and I wasn't alone on the lefts. As for scare factor, I've surfed over 112 breaks around the world, and size doesn't matter as much as water depth. Smaller size means shallower water. At my home break, the saying goes, "if you don't bleed here, you don't surf here." I've been in the hospital twice, and both were in small surf, (less than 6' waves.) @@anotherworldviewispossible
Orgulho do rio de janeiro! Cidade exportadora de casca grossas. Segue a tempestade brasileira!!!
I certainly was dumbfounded when I learned that someone had the skill and athleticism to surf where he does. I had assumed that since bodysurfing was hard to commercialize, it was dying out. it is a sport that befits an adult, in that can be taken into the spiritual level, because mastery requires adapting your behavior to match the wave energy of the moment, becoming one with nature, and completely overcoming fear. . It's just you and your environment, , you have no stick for leverage , just some swim fins, and I noticed Kalani Lattanzi uses a plaining surface for his hands
Yet it is so simple that even drift wood can do it. And even an old time religion guy can't reasonably fault it as a distraction from god, because of the interaction with nature required to advance beyond driftwood skill level. Once you experience the ocean granting you friendship, being in "the zone" where somehow you have found a harmony, where the entire ocean is supporting your playing by giving you an active living playing field that is on your side. Although I still don't understand why she is always trying to sucker me into bad, testing , locations.
poetry brother, preach! can't say it any better than you did. thank you!
About as close to god as you can get.
Now to top it off . Body surf mullaghmore in Sligo off the west coast of Ireland
For sure, swimming out there no board is spooky af.....there are some fattys lurking around fir sure.....a board even though false security it is something between you and you look bigger.....solo just treading water seems like whole another world
This guy is a wild man. Respect. 🙏
Seems like a great guy. Humble.
You are effing bonkers brother........
Respect ....
Mad respect ....
99.9% of us will have no / can have no understanding of the physicality & sheer ruggedness this guy has trained into his body over 20 out of his nearly 30 years of age . Even 25% of the hydrobeatdown he willingly pursues & takes-on , would absolutely hospitalize one of us if not kill us outright. He alone knows what battle he must wage when he decides to go for it.
This guy could probably hold the entire Earth up for a few days in an emergency hes so purposefully ripped.
Fin teathers bro! Fin teathers! Amazing!
COURAGE. That takes COURAGE.
Way rad. 😁⚡
I salute anybody who surfs Mav's in any way! He was so close to making it out of that big one. Crazy drops...so fast! Big up Kalani!
Mahalo Kalani for sharing and setting the bar.
He has a little foam pad on his hand like JOB uses on his channel
Infectious positivity!
Oh!
Bodysurfing.
I thought it said bodyboarding.
Extra awesome.
Bodyboarders surf waves surfers can't even surf so them surfing mavericks not a big deal
@hoshpakamies5643 looking forward to seeing you do it beavis.
@dougdavis8986 I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying disrespecting bodyboarding is stupid bcos they surf waves surfers can't even get on
take the board of the hands and it's bodysurfing
Very big sharks up north!
What about Cortez Bank,or the Mexican Pipeline?
Handboarding isnt bodysurfing.
It hurts me that they're synonymous for so many people.
I was thinking the exact same thing I saw him stick his hands out and grab something and I was like wait he's not body surfing
Lol I think ur missing the point here with your idiosyncrasies
@@deeznuts133 Ok, just for you lets play pretendies. Handboarding is body surfing. There, feel better about it?
Skiing is snowboarding. Haha. Foil surfing is surfing. Base-jumping is wing suiting. Trekking is mountaineering.
Am i still making idiosyncrasies, or are you just trying to raise something to a level its not?
@@mackash It's literally called a bodysurfing handboard 😂 clown
As a boomer who surfed late 50’s & 60’s NS Oahu … especially appreciate your taking bodysurfing to the next level! Back then so many things were unthinkable that are being done now. And love you born Maui but no Hawaiian pidgeon 😂
Madman! That peahi barrel is up there as best wave ever ridden by a human. I still watch it and wonder how the hell he pulled it.
Ok ….I’m impressed..think you can add Zicatela, Puerto Escondido? ..a real tuff wave.
He's a master at bodysurfing Puerto Escondido. He comes down here very frequently.
@@jimbojunk must get closed out on ..I don’t think he would have the speed to get out of the barrel.
@@jimbojunk must get closed out on ..I don’t think he would have the speed to get out of the barrel. That’s what I see there… punta I see guys there all the time. …but Zicatela…much harder…
@@Mexicantours I hear you, most Zica waves are too fast to make but it's definitely possible, even without a handplane.
@@jimbojunk yep… I used surf zicatela, but I’m 62 now, not as flexible..been living in Puerto for 12 years no… I enjoy punta when it’s big, way out there, bailout when it turns into the beach break… I’m always impressed to see those body surfers out there swimming around .. well anyone when it’s big. Hate it when there’s only a few way out , and your the last one on a set…knowonw to watch out for you.
Tim and Eric predicted this.
Congrats ! :-) Most surfers take the right at Mavericks. Why did you always take the left ?
ALL RESPECT TO KALANI FOR RIDING THOSE HUGE WAVES , BUT HE IS NOT BODYSURFING . BODYSURFING IS A PERSON AND TWO SWIMFINS . KALANI HAS A LARGE HAND BOARD THAT HE USES BOTH HANDS ON TO KEEP HIMSELF UP AS HE DESCENDS THE WAVE FACE . THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE . LETS SEE HIM RIDE THOSE SAME WAVES WITHOUT THE HANDBOARD TO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO AS A BODY SURFER .
I totally feel you but he can definitely hold his own and then some without a handplane. I think he uses them on these big waves because that's the only way you can string together a decent ride. But yeah, I wish handplaning and bodysurfing weren't lumped into one category.
THE HEADING OF THIS VIDEO IS MISLEADING TO ANYONE WHO KNOWS THAT HANDBOARDING IS NOT THE SAME AS BODYSURFING . MARK CUNNINHAM NEVER USED A HAND PLANE AND HE WAS MR. BODYSURFING AT BIG PIPELINE , AND THOSE INSANE GUYS RIDING 30 FT. WEDGE DONT USE HAND PLANES . THERE ARE BODYSURFING COMPETITIONS AND THERE ARE HANDPLANING COMPETITIONS , BUT NO BODYSURFING COMPETITIONS WHERE HANDBOARDS ARE ALLOWED
We used to use McDonald’s trays in Western AU
What a great attitude and great athlete.
This guy is something else, I've never been anywhere as heavy as these spots but I've been held down and had to climb my leash to get up to my tombstoning board just to know which way was up on a hold down and the furthest I've body surfed was a barrel i didn't make spat out and belly road it to the channel not intentional
Not to denigrate him in any way--what he's doing is amazing--but I wish we would start making the distinction between bodysurfing and hand boarding. To me, what he's doing is handboarding--and a large handboard it is--and not bodysurfing, and for good reason--you cannot get enough speed to catch those size of waves bodysurfing. Bodysurfing, handboarding, bodyboarding, surfing, foiling, skimboarding, etc.--keep it clear.
Awesome.
Nice rides! Maverick's is out of my league but I've done some 8-10's. A long time ago a wave sucked my fins off my feet. Now I always use leashes on my fins. I use Churchill Makapuu's. Not too big or small. I've never tried a hand board. Always went bare handed.
I love the ocean, but I have recurring dreams, once or twice a year about giant waves. Im always on the beach and I sooooo want to get in and swim, but Im absolutley terrified. I cant go in. I dont know why. By the way, Im not bragging but I swim better than 99.999% of you so yeah its wierd.
holly sheet !
Finally, someone going left at the most overrated wave on the planet. Frustrating watching guys go "right" on the lamest waves for thirty years. Straight handers
core lord
Nice one.
It's NOT BODYSURFING with a board in your hands. Period.
I bodysurfed a 16' shoulder at Black's, travelling 100 yards in & 100 yards right. Unlike this guy, I had a smaller wave blade on each hand. I used them to stiff-arm the water and plane on it, lifting my head and shoulders out of white froth, so I could take in the visual beauty of the ride, as well as the tactile ecstasy of my body at one with the rolling marine hillside. It was the ride of my life. I even got a "hang loose" sign from a surfer paddling back out who got the perfect view of me dropping in on that triple overhead face and flying past him on the shoulder. Which is unheard of, as surfers at Black's are invariably pricks about sharing the best breaks with bodysurfers (and Maxi Pad Cowboys). So that was an extremely rare show of respect. I didn't want the ride to end, but it lasted so long that I eventually fatigued, lost my concentration and relaxed one of my wrists ever so slightly, causing the wave blade to go under and taking me pearl diving with it. The shoulder was still a fast, powerful 10-footer by that point, and I got thoroughly rag-dolled. Thankfully Black's is a soft sand bottom, no rocks and no reef (the break is due to a canyon). I'll never forget that day. The joy one experiences on the shoulder of a big wave is unlike anything else in the world.
Thank you for sharing!
@@steveperreira5850 You're welcome.
Insane!
Question: Wouldn't that hurt going that fast w/out a board?
Wetsuit
Mis respetos eres un duro
correction: take the board out of his hands and it's bodysurfing.
Swimming around in sharky waters is more impressive to me
Why do you only show the first 4 seconds of every ride? Let it play out.
Monstro parabéns viva niteroi espetacular
The hand is connected to a body.
Maybe i should try feet boarding.
This is some fine bodysurfing.
Incredible
I've never seen two hands on a plane before - imma go try that bro!
Next time try the going right.
Look at dat buggah on one sponge.
Going fast on a wave bodysurfing it stings as the water hit you.
the boss / big inspiration
That is pure ballz. Swimming around outside at Mavericks is nightmare fuel. A big white shark patrols that point. Bravo to you sir.
Hawaiian you killed it 💪😎🤙 Cheeeehooo!!
This guy would bite the shark that tried to steal his wave.
That is what I refer to as playful Mavericks. I would feel comfortable in the water if I had a good crew with me but not even 2 ft bigger than that would I check out that's the max of my comfort zone. I hope to be able to surf there one day.
This man is creating his own sport, definition of a pioneer
Bruh bodysurfing came before surfboards were even invented
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
did bodysurfing just show up on Tik Tok or something? That's usually when people think something new has been invented
I've been doing this shit since I came out the womb - this man's doing nothing other than sucking your mudda
@@jesusisking3814 Why are you here? In the name of your God more people are killed than in WWI and WWII together! The only thing that dies on a cross and was resurected was a constalation! But that happens every year!
I must say. That was amazing bodysurfing Mavericks.
Never understood why bodysurfing isn’t more popular.
Dudes head is upside down !
That musta been a GNARLEY wipeout !!!
That's a little surfboard. It's kinda like the Tech Deck of surfboards.
id love to know your training protocol
another brazilian breakin da rules
Hard enough to surf these places. He does it with no board.
massive respect... blazing new trails and somebody you can tell would be great to know. Raising the bar without doubt
I’m watching the wave right now, let us know when you’re back 💪🏽💐💕
Don't get it twisted u are a king.
What fins do you use?
Pure balls!
That's totally crazy! How does that guy body surf with such big balls dragging though the water?!
I studies elephant seals at Año Nuevo, down the coast just a few miles. Let's call it a half hour by Great White. I watched baby seals leave the beach and saw several wash up, torn apart and shredded. Kept me from Surfing/windsurfing there!
I was at Anu Nuevo on a trip from the UK and without doubt its terrifying. I encountered half a dozen dead seals with huge bite marks. Someone had tied ribbon round their tails as part of a survey. I wouldn't surf that stretch of water for anything.
Congrats I always thought that someone would do it .
BLOODY HELL!
That’s buck wild. This dude lives in the lip.
God damn sea monster swallow you in one chomp.
