Watch all episodes of #LifeOfKai including a brand new episode with Kai Lenny and Travis Rice in the Alaskan backcountry on Red Bull TV! 👉 www.redbull.com/int-en/episodes/life-of-kai-s3-e4

Real surfers know it's never about winning... it's about living. In that moment, feeling it, and capturing that brief time in their lives forever...

I enjoy watching the life of Kai series, but when you title the video "Local NORTH SHORE LIFEGUARD Wins THE EDDIE" you should probably make the video about Luke Shepardson. That guy has been charging big waves and surfing contests for a long time just like Kai yet he is underground. Why not compile footage of Luke's surfing progression and his story leading up to this epic event? That would make for an interesting video that is more than just click bait.

Yaa i was here ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love to see how humble Kai is ! It’s nice to see we can all relate to how he feels, in our normal everyday life of pushing ourselves and also judging ourselves ! What a legend

Seems like such a down to earth dude with so much talent

Amazing vid but should’ve been more about the lifeguard

Watching that in person was an amazing experience.

I guess surfing a mountain of sea water will either make you arrogant or humble. Kai is great, so is humbled, regardless of how skillful he is. All of the surfers are amazing, surfing something that most people would flee from!

Awesome Kai and a humble gentleman

Kai will win one North Shore contest matter of time.

I still have the surf mags from when it was announced he had drowned. I could not eat for 2 days because I had met him. The first time I met him I thought he was rude and angry about mainlanders surfing Hawaii. But he explained why ...because so many outsiders had no respect for the Hawaiians. I understood and he and I became friends. Clyde also spoke to me and I understood that Hawaii was never going to be the same because of the magazines and movie coverage. Their islands would never be the same...and they weren't. He was a spiritual brother to me!

Blessings to Kai & all in Maui

Lenny is one of the best surfer in the world I don't know what he is talking about he's not a high level surfer... I always comment on his video that he is out of control 😂 this dude ride terrifying wave 😮only hand full of people dare to surf 🌊🤙

Love what his Dad was saying giving yourself permission to be there it's like accepting to be here at the Top Kai surf's just as good as any of these guys❗ 💙 love to see some Maui Boys ripping it up with the top Surfers in the World 🌎..

The Best word

The best thing that happened to my drums in Montauk .. Keala Kennelly Paige Alms and Lisa Anderson attended. Watching the Eddie last year was better than any Superbowl .

Kinda hard not to be jealous of these guys. I'm sure the gloss hides some rough edges, but it sure looks like a hell of a life.

Kai has inherited Laird's mantle while Kemper has inherited Dorian's.

I suspect it's not so much a windsurfing surfing thing but a class thing. When I was a grom surfing all the windsurfers were posh. Kai is extreme though

I came here after watching Surfs Up

what a sham on that wave score... he fully rode out of that hack. (But Toledo's surfing was on fire for the actual heat win!)

I like that advice... give yourself permission to compete with the best!

Savage 🖤🙌😎

Wow ❤

Its crazy that people dont consider Kai as a surfer...to me he is the most consistent and one of the best surfers ever...and he is still young

@3:20 Peter Mel is the most gracefully intuitive and wholly underrated hellman in big wave history -- Still

where can i get that hat Kai's wearing

¡¡¡Bien Eddie!!!

When he was on the phone I zoned out and got an ad with gunshots thinking someone was going to go on a spree

fyi: ChatGPT ranks Kai #5 "best surfer in the world (after Laird, Garret McNamara, Dorian, and Maya Gabeira)

高波の上へと上がっていく時も、凄く気持ちよさそう！

i will be there one day

4:02 why the cut? 😯😯

👏

Sinistro..

How much does is cost to have a surfboard, a kite board, a wind surfboard, sup, foil board, and a jet ski? The cost of entry seems crazy lol

Elect to take the wipeout deep within the tube, as the wave continues on to close out the Bay.

why you re upload that red Bull wtf ??

i bet kelly would become a competition judge if he was paid enough 😅 but he would probably run out in the middle of a heat and try to drop in on a wave hes been watching since 2 miles out

Wrong title.

Really The Eddie at this size? Ok it was Sunset not the Eddie!

just not catching good waves..crazy

Video started good, then got lame. Change the title

Title is way Off

; 😂😢😢😊

Everything is a competition- between chefs, and now, surfers. It's obnoxious.

tow kooks always struggle to stay in the top rankings

I’m tired of watching Kai being dramatic. switch it up plz

Waimmea is just a dump...should be taken off the circuit

dont judge me. im born in 80. im from the generation that if you surfed comps you were an outcast. you were regarded as a sell out. because real surfers didnt surf comps. the commercialisation of surfing has became a virus. i see kai has the feels of a surfer before his generation but feels like he needs to, and forces himself to compete because that's what he's grown up exposed to and all the older guys around him encouraged him to compete because the money went ballistic and they didnt have that op back in the day. so his mentors must have pushed him toward the pros cause that oppurtunity didnt exist when they were young. they saw the money side of things explode and are encouraging the younger guy to go after it. kai embodies the spirit of the original generation surfer, the real surfer. but forces himself to compete and dominate, without understanding who he really is and why he really does what he does. he is old school but doesnt know it. just let it go brother, you got this ;)

So tired of "BIG WAVE" money boys. We all surfed stuff. Battle? Heroes? What a load of crap.

@thevagrantsurfer

I used to work with Peter back in the day at pleasure point pizza. It's all really just a blur but why did he take the time to properly train an upstate NY grommet transplant? No, it wasnt cause he cared about the tough Santa Cruz pizza marketshare but more the tip killing gush of salt water from the nasal cavity we experienced while making a large pepperoni. Peter made sure this phenomenon was nipped in the bud prior to any new employee throwing of the dough. Always the professional and a heart of gold. Now back to our scheduled recording........
