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!

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!

@S0ulinth3machin3 5 ай бұрын

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.

@@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?

@seancallahan1312 5 ай бұрын

@@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?

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!

@bcbikeboard322 5 ай бұрын

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.

@jukee67 5 ай бұрын

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.

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!

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
