I’ve lived by the beach in California all my life and have always been intrigued by surfing but also scared at the same time. After watching this it convinced me to stick to snowboarding.
@@caseydolen1475 3:05 in the shoulder area you can see the strings to pull it. 1:49 when he comes out of the water the vest looks inflated. During a wipeout, surfers are usually hesitant to pull the vest as to not waste the cartridges but Kai seems to pull it riding the wave and I just want to know the reasoning behind it cause I've never saw a surfer do that before.
It is a float vest, but im sure kai knows wassup. Homeboy is on the cutting edge of this big wave shit right now. Watch his life of kai series. Homeslice gets trained by spec ops and shit lol
I wonder how dehydrated surfers gets from getting all that saltwater shoved into them from when they go underwater. I also think its funny how he just falls (meatballs?) into the water when the wave is too big to surf😂
yo kai your the men! your my inspiration to go surf I never been able to do it until now and my dream its to surf one day like you! much love from mexico
So I'm assuming the wipeouts are cut short in editing right? Cause the wave literally just ate the camera then you pop up the other side, can't be right.
The POV shots are cool but you really should cut away [in the edit] to the long wide shots of the waves. When Kai paddles into a wave with the board POV, it looks like a 6 foot wave at my local break, not a 60 foot wave at Nazare or Mavericks. Just a thought.
That video looks like head high. WTF? I have seen guys paddle into 20 foot plus at Mavs and it's def not 4-6 strokes. Another angle might be better Kai.
Try surfing without rescue. This is so over dramatized. The gopro on the end of the board perspective sucks. I surf 20' on the Big Island with no skis , just me and one other guy. I've scratched for the horizon being caught inside by a risIng unpredictable swell not knowing if I would make it or not. No inflation, no rescue. That's true adrenaline. I respect you Kai, but this for ching ching is hilarious Just surf.
Those 360s!!!! Also, the clip with the helicopter flying overhead as Kai goes down the wave has some major action film vibes
Legendary
8:10 The way he jumps back on his board is so clean
Jesus... the pure energy of the ocean... towering buildings of water.
I love how Kai is still in a good mood after getting his a$$ kicked by a 40 foot wave at mavs
Because he’s young, full of juice, fearless, in his twenties and loaded with talent!
@@rickromano8654 no one asked why
@@rickromano8654 I remember those days...wish I had them back 56 now.
I know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released movies online ?
@@tracenathaniel4890 no
I think Kai enjoys getting thrown around by King Kong. Always comes out of it smiling and enjoying himself lol!
Extremely gritty! Poetry in motion! The way y’all dance with those waves! Beauty & the beast. 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦
@4:28 its like a giant hand and a face trying to grab kai. sick!
Holy shit you’re right
wtf
Awesome footage of huge waves .....
Dang dude you are right, this is just perfect
I’m not sure what’s more impressive, the way you surf or the beating you can take 😳

Wow that’s just amazing! I wanted to keep hitting the like button....incredible!
☝️👏🙏

05:21 ⚡
Nice 360 ans nice session👍👍🤙🤙🤙🏄♂️👏👏
Man your a great surfer one of the best I've ever seen before
So awesome, that video made my day 🏄♂️😄
Ledgend
Jeez! Insane video love the bomb at the start too!
would be insane to see some footage with an over the shoulder mount kai
What a legend. 🤩
Why was homeboy at 0:28 on a shortboard at mavericks?
WTF - I Noticed That Too''
Amazing. I have to paddle more for a 3 ft wave.
1:35 Pulled his vest before wiping out? Never saw that before
Idk if that’s even an inflation vest

Noticed that too, you can see him using the release valve after coming back up
It is a float vest, but im sure kai knows wassup. Homeboy is on the cutting edge of this big wave shit right now. Watch his life of kai series. Homeslice gets trained by spec ops and shit lol
@@James-ip5gz maybe he does it early because of the small risk of being knocked out when wiping out?
So gnarly! Does the GoPro on the nose mess with the weight and balance of those boards?
Awesome video Kai! Charging brah!
Amazing perspective. Geez you got some guts.
Insane! Would have loved to see another view of the tow rides, looked like 360 airs but hard to tell.
could you put the camera to get the same angle you see?
0:31 the pov was so cool in the wave😂
Kai i saw you last winter at Peahi it was awesome keep up the great work
I wonder how dehydrated surfers gets from getting all that saltwater shoved into them from when they go underwater. I also think its funny how he just falls (meatballs?) into the water when the wave is too big to surf😂
1:35 biggest close out I’ve ever seen
Really really good 🎉🎉🎉
Good job. Try once to face the camera forward, so we can better see the drop height and line up. Thanks
I know this wave is SUPER heavy, but the videos show effortless paddle ins and they don't seem that big. It's wild. Balls to the wall dude!
Thanks for the ride along
Legend..............already.
Wauuu.... Q locazo q buenas tomas 🤙🏻
4.28 The hand that comes out and try's to grab Kai!
That first back 3 was so sick
0:37 holy crap that could’ve been horrible. That looked scary. Even from the go pros position
So sick 👏👏
Um.. was that a 360 on a tow in mavericks?
Is this the swell from day before yesterday? Or is this from earlier this winter?
TOTALLY LOVIN IT! "Yea Killer Beaterz''
- Thanx
- 🤎🌊🌊🏄♂️🤪🌊🌊🙃
Can you put your camera on front view ?
He’s still ripping 🤙🏽
Kai bottom turning into the 5 dimension legendary.
GOAT
You make paddling and standing up so easy!

yo kai your the men! your my inspiration to go surf I never been able to do it until now and my dream its to surf one day like you! much love from mexico
Great waves mate 100
cold water, cloudy weather, huge waves, sharks... 😵
Good times.
5:28 That 360 was crazy 0_0
This is way cool point of view from the Gopro.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So I'm assuming the wipeouts are cut short in editing right? Cause the wave literally just ate the camera then you pop up the other side, can't be right.
He does have a vest tho

Sick waves cant hold my breath as long as you can
coldie boys for sure.
7:16 . . . I almost went to the fifth dimension bra!
Inspiration🙏🏼
5:28 proof he is a Jedi.
Absolutely shitting me pants!
1:24 you can see a flying surfboard
Wappaaah!!
Wow 😳
I almost went to the 5th dimension says it all
Absolute Insanity!!
It's like fall into a big blender
Epic
He just plays around on massive mavs waves and nazare waves
rare chemtrail free day at mavs... do i see a littel tom curren in Kai's face? bumpy out there....
Dude, not worried about sharks?
Is crazy how risky his take offs are
Two flat threes on a waves :O
🤯🤯
super athlete
Ripping it!
nice m8
We're in the 3rd dimension ....
While Kai reaches for the 5th dimension - 5:15 shred , two 360s .......Aquarius !🌊
straight up firing but still a little choppy
Hardcore
Do only the sponsored guys “help” from the skis?! Definitely illegal to tow surf Mavericks unless in a comp though
SJW party pooper
How much sea water an average surfer drinks in her/his Life.🙏
What a life...
100 percent charger
That video looks like head high. WTF? I have seen guys paddle into 20 foot plus at Mavs and it's def not 4-6 strokes. Another angle might be better Kai.
HELLO KAI :)

POV is not the best angle imo
Rad

Old video
Never really surfed (meaning got up) - I could watch this s#@t all day
