Kai’s ability to generate speed is unreal. He was the only one able to carve out there while everyone else was just trying not to die. Overall great editing with some unforgettable images. I like your use of slow motion. I know it’s harder to grade colors from different sources, but some closer matching might have made for a little tighter watch in some spots. Music is always controversial, but I personally found the vocals distracting. I liked your last short video with just the sound of the ocean a little more. Maybe that’s just me. Terrific work from an epic session, glad you were there and shared this with us.
Like it or not, aside from me, Kai is the best surfer in the world right now in big waves. It makes sense though, He had Laird, Kalama and myself to learn from, competed and succeeded in just about every sport on the ocean that involved a board, his 360's are really just adapted from windsurfing. I'm teaching him McTwists now, he should have them down by the end of the season
Yeah, the soundtrack was line sitting at home listening to the fridge buzz. Dreadful band. They were awful when that record was released, and the track has aged even worse over the years. I could only make it through half the video as a result.
Phenomenal drone photography!!! With all the different POV's you use, I think it gives viewers a much better feel for what Mavericks really is. Kai Lenny looks like he's playing on those waves.
Hey mate. Love your video. Also your music choices are far better than the majority of surf edits on TH-cam nowadays. Bring back the tunes 🙏🏽🔥🏄🏽♂️ Yew!
I am sitting on Oahu right now. Its one thing to see this on film its another thing to see someone ride a wave live this in real life. I was at Haleiwa and Pipe this week. Watching this live would have been crazy.
So sick! As more people mess with the pocket and tickle an over-vert wall like Luca Padua at 3:28, it seems like we’re really setting up for some dramatic upright-over-the-falls space launches in our future.
Those maintain ace guys of those ocean machines are heroes. Special dudes doing special things for special surfers. A symphony of synchronicity with each other against a big ocean of nature and danger.
Everybody there is finely tuned to minimize losses. Appears that way. Dudes of dudes in my surfing uneducated mind. Power, strength, hard work, and grace.
All in to run together. To run in the right places. Sometimes not easy. Somebody wins, somebody got wiped. You are picture books. Kai is phenomenal. Altogether, boats and all.
everybody mostly "just" riding, and then this Kai comes and carves it up, hits a bump , goes airborne and lands smooth as glazed donuts ....like, wowzer, man
That's a lovely effin foothill of water behind ye laddie. 1:10 take care ye dinnae get yourself scuttled or there'll be hell to pay me thinks. Aye. ouch looks like i jinxed ye from the future....sorry aboot that. great spooky soundtrack for these waves and gray no cal skies. reminds me of me younger days surfing loch lohmund. not much happening most days, but if yer ready when the beast rises up and makes a splash it kann be quite the ride.

The music sucked. I call it whiney guy crap rock- ruined it I had to mute .
He’s not afraid of the pocket 🤷🏻♂️
He treats those waves like 4fts lol. Luca was getting in there tho
Kai Lenny is like the one guy out there having fun… the rest seem to be just trying to stay alive. Kai is surfing with no fux given.
Joe Satriani: "Surfing with the Alien". Some just better than others.
Is Kai the only human with eyes in the back of his head? I wonder.
@@kdevinturner8778 that and the extra stability derived from low center of gravity from size of stones
@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out They have stones of steel, for sure. No doubt about that. Amazing.
Great edit. I normally prefer the sounds of the sea but the music was cool.
Does anyone know if Bianca Valenti is okay after that intense wipeout?
What an amazing footage and soundtrack!!!!
Congrats !
Phenomenal drone photography!!! With all the different POV's you use, I think it gives viewers a much better feel for what Mavericks really is. Kai Lenny looks like he's playing on those waves.
The best !
For sure. He looks and acts like a little kid playing in a bathtub, but on an extremely large scale. Amazing athlete.
Please don't stop with the edits - and a huge from the heart thankyou to all the contributors - what a great 9 minutes!
So sick! 🤙🏽🇦🇺 Jojo's wave was insane and Kai's just on another level!
How do they manage to stay afloat with such balls of steel??? Beautiful swell.
it is a problem, but they are also unfairly aided by lowered center of gravity and the resulting superior balance.
Raised my hands in the air a couple times! Good video, great sesh!
Amazing footage!! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful cinematography!
Amazing footage. I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
crappy music ruins the vids- so sad.
@@ChristyKSweetOne man's crappy music is another man's vibe.
Special people doing special things. Including the producer, Tucker. Amazing and thank you.
Some real superhumans at Mavericks. Can't and won't describe my feelings. Wow and powerful. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Thank you! Thank you! For documenting so vividly and providing these absolutely terrifying views that I will never dare attempt in a 1000 years! 🙏🙏
You guys are all awesome! What Huevos to be in the water this past week! Thanks for the great videography!
Hey mate. Love your video. Also your music choices are far better than the majority of surf edits on TH-cam nowadays. Bring back the tunes 🙏🏽🔥🏄🏽♂️ Yew!
Preparation. Surfers and machines are off the charts. So much respect for all of you. Lovely
Best edit I've seen in a while. Great job. Thank you
Big boys with balls. Doing their thing. Real men studs.
I lived in Southern California for 20 years and never knew these big waves were on that coastline!! That's awesome! Skilled and brave people! 👍👐🤝🙏
Pacific can be a big slap in the face. Great surfers and conditioned humans to match. Love this video. A symphony.
Did you get soundtrack advice from Tim Bonython? LOL
Subliminal.
All of these folks are super talented, but Kai Lenny made these waves his b*tch! BLOWN away
These brave souls' live music in their hearts. Only way they survive.
A beautiful Orchestra between man, big waves, ocean machines, and God.
That is incredible footage in tough conditions. Overcast, flat bad light and it still looks great. Nice work photographers.
WoW got to love life! Kai, you're just playing with her. Thank you!
Sick footage and was waiting for this day to see via video. Mavs poppin as usual when the pulse is rt!
Great footage and great choice w Joy Division !!!!
I am sitting on Oahu right now. Its one thing to see this on film its another thing to see someone ride a wave live this in real life. I was at Haleiwa and Pipe this week. Watching this live would have been crazy.
Fantastic.. Will Scuden with the lip on the head. Must be pretty nice to have all that water rescue !! Surf hero's at Mav's.
So sick! As more people mess with the pocket and tickle an over-vert wall like Luca Padua at 3:28, it seems like we’re really setting up for some dramatic upright-over-the-falls space launches in our future.
Padua really pulling the power in the pocket. The edit didn't give those maneuvers enough credit. IMO
Top notch video!
7:03 is a nightmare scenario!
Those maintain ace guys of those ocean machines are heroes. Special dudes doing special things for special surfers. A symphony of synchronicity with each other against a big ocean of nature and danger.
@2:30 LUCA'S wave 🏆W.O.T.Y. 🏆
Wow. Thanks. 🙏
Everybody there is finely tuned to minimize losses. Appears that way. Dudes of dudes in my surfing uneducated mind. Power, strength, hard work, and grace.
Incredible footage and perfect song choices. Cant imagine getting GodSmacked by one of those waves
Those guys are nuts.
All in to run together. To run in the right places. Sometimes not easy. Somebody wins, somebody got wiped. You are picture books. Kai is phenomenal. Altogether, boats and all.
Bad ass dudes.
Well done.
Epic 🔥
Those mechanics of the ocean machines are the best.
Fantastic
Grounding. Guys are amazin. Cheers.,
Superb! 🔥
everybody mostly "just" riding, and then this Kai comes and carves it up, hits a bump , goes airborne and lands
smooth as glazed donuts ....like, wowzer, man
I'm curious to know how far off shore are they?
Orchestra of competence and meritocracy.
How they do?
Kai faces danger in flip flops. Superstar.
Powerful, skillful, reliant, dangerous, and elegant.
Hey Herb? Great movie.
Kai is an artistic animal. Nuts too.

Pacific Ocean, I know not country. Somewhere between San Fran, CA and Santa Cruz, CA. Those guys are rock solid. All.
All involved know their stuff. An orchestra of survival.
Kai Lenny is on another level.
What an amazing day, insane rides and crushing wipeouts...One for the history books!
Yeah Jojo. Hammer!!
30 yrs I lived in HMB.. the wave never changes just the surfers…I must say everything gets better..
I just busted an eye. Epic.
Can't go wrong with Tucker!!!
Scary. Superstars at work.
Good to see Pete Mel out there. Hope for us older guys.
Luca Padua doing critical things in crucial places, very torquey, very thick, very vertical. Also: Fink is riding a skimboard.
Truly Beauttiful.
Now that is a splash.
4:40 casual Kai 360
Kai is phenomenon.
After I got out of that mess I would be so happy. Missed the snake bite. Too cool for school.
Water cold too.
🤯 5:06
Hard working men. All around.
Imagine that ride, big balls surfing
NASCAR and Formula1 all in one. Amazing.
It looks like Portugal and Hawaii made their way to California.
Sattelites say so.
Great White Shark breeding nearby. Left town for that week.
Luca Padua at 3:25!!!!!!! WTF!!!!
Taking the good with the bad. Studs.
No whining or crying in this situation. Men are men. All best to the best.
Special people doing special things.
practice makes perfect
Iam happy when they are happy. Those guys are built like Fred and Barney in a quarry. Tough as dirt in the tough surf.
When I grow up I want to be an NY Yankee shortstop and a big wave surfer.
Mja kri gya meya😂🥰🥰🥰
Western Pacific is a little saltier and more corrosive than at the phone buoy in the Eastern Pacific. Still only costs a dime 10 cents.
More balls than brains. Fantastick.
Not many warriors left like this, maybe never were proportionally. Lucky us.
If I was kid back in day. I would have Farrah Fawcett and Kai Lenny on my small 3 sided wall.
Ms. Sissels appetizer bell. They will be coming home. Hopefully.
What bad ass dudes look like.
Nature meets men who are strong enough to meet nature. Symphonic.
Water doing its thing and it has no feelings. Goes where it goes.
Agreed no fear fie Kai
What a well run industry looks like. All for 1 and one for all. Cheesy but true.
Big wave surfers and crews have no time for edits. Nature on them now. They are dudes of dudes.
