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.
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!
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?
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!
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.
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. . .
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 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. 😊
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.
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!
been surfing 40years+ got to say best damn surfing i've seen in a long time. back when i did airs every body in the lineup would heckle me. i used to air mid face to lip. i saw you did one at mav's keep pushing the limits some day we will see back flip in barrel.
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. ❤🎉
Had the pleasure of surfing with Kai in Mexico, and it was awesome to see his stoke level is the same whether it’s 30ft Jaws or 3ft Mexico. And I thought it was wild watching him surf switch in chest high surf. And now im trying to wrap my head around the fact I’m pretty sure I just witnessed him surfing switch stance at jaws 🤯🤯🤯 the ocean is truly his playground
breathtaking view from a distance in a city of a million people in a few days of rain in a few days is the most footage’s I’ve ever heard in a year and I can say it was a great bit more of a surprise to see the world in a different place in the 10:58
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!
This guy level is so insane while so much underrated by is counterparts in part because he's towing a lot but for god sakes respect this man for his sending 😍😍(sry for my english)
Kai, ignore the trolls about the planes and jetskis. 99.9% of us don't give a ***** about that. Some of the trolls are actually paid to do it (by certain foreign countries), trying to get us angry at each other. The rest of us are in awe of your surfing. Keep doing it, you're seriously redefining what's possible and we love it.

His paddle in at Jaws is amazing.

INSANE session at Mavs!!! Hit by the lip at 15:19 AND HE POWERS THROUGH! Crazy awesome surfing and breathtaking footage. WOW. 🌊💙🌊💥

@@DJRushX1 I used to surf the garbage wave at Linda Mar all the time when I lived in the Bay Area. How far is Mavs from there?

15:18 how did Ridge stay up? Mavericks: imma gonna wipe you out. Ridge: No.
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

I never tire of watching Kai surf.

Pure JOY. In my next life i want to be Kai Lenny. The superhero music was perfect. RUclips needs to offer a magnifier in the Thumbs Up button.
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!

wow Kai, tremendous showing at Mavericks. way to work hard and show up
Kai Lenny’s easily the best surfer if I think about it❤
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.🙏🤙
Kai, That was amazing! You should create a new category in the sport and call it, "Acrobatic surfing."
Wow, what amazing waves! Great surfing and so creative on the faces...
Kai Lenny is the best big wave surfer in the world .
Thanks Kai, and thank you to the crew for bringing us the vision. Special times we live in
Great footage of an absolutely amazing athlete. Always a joy to watch. Thank you 🙏🏻

You are most definitely ‘at one’ with your environment. Just beautiful! 😍
I lived on the Coastside for 20 years and I've never seen anyone surf Mav's like that! Wow.
Incredible footage of a once-in-a-generation prodigy shredding some beastly waves with such style!
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
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.
I love that you leave the raw audio with ambient sounds. Thanks for being a rad surfer and your content!!
Incredible. Nobody does it like Kai
You're amazing! Great footage. Thanks for sharing it.
'Why is everyone coming in?" You're comedy! Another amazing show Kai.
True waterman on another level. Happy new year!
Watermen? Who need a JetSki to get into a perfect spot of a wave? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
@@Riceman-o1p Your saying Laird Hamilton is also not a Waterman?🌊
@@primrosereceptionist611 No
You’re a true artist on that board with the waves as your canvas! Beautiful!
Anyone else notice he drops in goofy foot at 2:36? INSANE
Bravo Kai ! You are Amazing, and Blessed to be Able to Surf those Giant Waves! Abrazos!
I’ve been waiting for this video to come out🤙🏽
That Mavs edit was incredible
Gives me chills watching your video. Freaking epic!
continuity from many angles / mind blowing/thankyou Kai
Can't get better !! All the dangles.. What dreams are made of.
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".

insane. as an old guy now it's so cool to see to ride from the board view. Excellent video work. Thanks
been surfing 40years+ got to say best damn surfing i've seen in a long time. back when i did airs every body in the lineup would heckle me. i used to air mid face to lip. i saw you did one at mav's keep pushing the limits some day we will see back flip in barrel.
They heckled you? Why airs are fun, unless they were jealous.
nice 360 in front of the barrel that was sweet
1983 in fla

Did bro really just take a lip to the face at 15:18, style it out and carry on like nothing happened?
You just made my New Year better. Thank you 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. ❤🎉
MONSTER🏄 !! at 15:20..... seems like newton was busy 😂🤙
Sublime. Your lines are artistry.🏄♀️
❤ Amaizing mountains in the background.....
Oh fuc No! Those are Waves!!

Kai must have a gyroscope built inside of him. What an amazing, artistic, and powerful surfer. No fear. Beautiful to watch.
1.34 INSANITY! Mad respect!
So the man.. Still!
Untouchable!!
❤
So awesome. I was cheering watching this 🙌🙌🙌
Looking good with that beard, Kai! A bunch of us were watching yo’all from the cliffs… Dynamite day. Well done!
Awesome edit; unreal surfing
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.
Speechless brother, amazing!
i never saw anyone do a 360 1:34 on a big wave - Kai the best!
Thank you Kai. Grateful.
Saw what you did for first time. Amazing!
Kai dancing with the waves.
that was so cool. So well produced and filmed
Bravo! That's the only word that comes to mind.
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! 🤙🏽
That was a fun one to watch, nicely done.
Perfect timing. Doing physical therapy for double knee surgery and you come thru. Good looking out, Kai 🫡
Dang good luck with your rehab that's gnarly.
I had both mine replaced last year😳 It was mean!!!
oof, the body boarder that crashed into that surfboard @2:13
Next level! Who can touch that?
in big waves, nobody
breathtaking view from a distance in a city of a million people in a few days of rain in a few days is the most footage’s I’ve ever heard in a year and I can say it was a great bit more of a surprise to see the world in a different place in the 10:58
Absolutely shredding!
Dude, you live on another planet. And it’s f’n awesome
Wait. Did you switch foot on that paddle in?
killer stuff. keep pushing the limits mate.
This is an awesome episode! 🤙
No question in my mind you’re the goat
That was just Sick!! Thank you
Damn, think I soiled myself! Epic!
Looks very Sharky at Mavericks
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!
Who's doing the music for these vids?
Such a fun trip!!!
1-6-2024. Heal completely. Be safe. Use your intuition. Want to continue watching for a long time. TY. ❤
Thanks for sharing !
Enjoying the rides from Amsterdam :)
