Can you guys tell me what clout means?? In Australia it means when you get hit by your parents. My mum gave me a “clout “ when I once ripped all the palings of the fence to build a cubby house
I've always said I would love to see "raw" video of surf where we see champs get pounded !! To be able to see that champs are also getting pounded and that they are not only surfing the waves of their life all the time, shows what it really takes to be at the top ! Thanks Kai
One of the more interesting surfing vids. Kai's fitness, wave sense and feel for the tube is captured brilliantly. Seems like a genuine waterman with a love for the ocean.
I had met 2 persons who just died drowned in Puerto Escondido waters, this is real shit. Even I was in danger in Mazunte early on 2020. Big respect to Kai and everyone who is brave enough to defy the ocean.
I surfed it about this size several times back in the 80’s when the crowd was pretty much zero, you had to take a miserable hours long bus ride over a washboard dirt road from Oaxaca city with mountain locals & livestock. It was me & my 2 friends out & I’ve surfed a lot of big wave but at this size, feeling all alone & no rescue with 100 miles, it scared the shit out of me. I watch these vids & my PTSD comes back😂😂
Did you use any security equipment? If you wipeout in this conditions with no life vest or anything , the chance you get a really gnarly held down is pretty big!
@@iagofratti - no security equipment but we were all expert swimmers & in excellent condition. Besides, inflatable vests weren’t even thought of. If your leash broke, you swam & thought about the hammerheads you saw the day before - true story. We would regularly get the 2 wave hold downs but it wasn’t anything to panic about, it was just part of the experience & you just dealt with it.
I just stop bye once in a while to see when this guy is going to reveal that he's actually an alien from another planet. He's just that special. He's like the Travis Pastrana of motorsports....oozing with talent and great personality.
Went there every year from 1978 to 1984 September & October stayed for 20$ a month at the carpentero's cabanas , got it big 20'-25' with no crowds ! Best day I can remember was 5'-7' perfect shape late afternoon glass off turquoise perfection !
What an amazing edit! I'm absolutely shitting my pants... I just noticed what seems to be a pectus excavatum, Kai. It would make all of your acomplishments that much more incredible! Could it be? All the best from Portugal, happy new year!
Such sick footage of someone who I believe will be remembered along the same lines as Laird. His commitment to pushing the boundaries, his enthusiasm and cajones are unrivalled. Kai Lenny Ultimate Waterman 🙌✨️🤙
Siiiiiiick! 3:40 - 4:20 is the m most surreal, most epic coverage ever. The slow motion diving off the board looks like an astronaut jumping into a nebula. Amazing.
Classic. He got first wave of the set with 3 or 4 behind on top of him but “ it didn’t really do much” That’s gotta be an understatement . I can only imagine fighting for my life
For there to be winners there must be losers. Smoke gets in my eye as my ashtray is piled high while I watch Kai touch the sky. What a nice, positive guy. You go man!
Very good to remember a moment like this !! Congratulations on the championship you deserve too much !! I'm your fan here from Brazil !! you are a monster when it comes to any board sport !! hopefully one day I will have the pleasure of meeting you !!
Some of the best pov I've seen the barrels went on forever and that wave looked so heavy kai you are a legend never looked phased not once! keep doing your thing 💥✌
Congratulations Kai! We were hoping so bad that you were going to head to Puerto to surf these killer waves! They are treacherous for sure! You made it look easy amigo, congrats! Love the footage, wow!!!!
Heaviest waves I've ever surfed was in Puerto. Lucky I was 21 years hold and in better shape back then.. now at 42 I'd have a broken back. We flew into Acapulco and rented a van and drove 8 hours to Puerto Escondido. Such a great trip!!
getting caught under a wave is like dying and popping out, unexpectedly, to the surface is like birth, and the next few minutes feel like a new chance at life haha
Bro that was the most exhilarating footage I've ever seen period!! 🙌 That was an awesome insight into what it takes to win there. Guts n determination with years of practice obviously 🌊😲🤙 I'm tingling with pure stoke for ya, congratulations man🥇Major Shakka Bra 🤙... Numero Uno ☝ Ewwwww 🏄
I don't surf Mexico anymore. If you notice all that brown foam, that ain't just brown foam lol. It has gotten worse and worse throughout the years. After getting sick a few times from surfing K58, La Fonda, La Mission, and a few secret spots. I just gave up a few years back.
Maaaate those inside barrel ejections looked full on from the go pro shots. Hectic!! Can't believe how calm you are bobbing in the water in front of mountains of white water.
Nothing sucks worse than thinking you timed the sets right, only to paddle out and get caught up by a set wave coming down five feet from you. It’s a great way to think to yourself, I’m gonna drown. Happened to me in a huge swell that hit Newport Beach. I walked three finger jetties before I found my board. I thought it was gone.
That GoPro mount must be strong as hell. 😂🤙🤙
When the waves look that big on a go pro, you know they massive
So true
They really need to do something about that, me and my mate surf here in Ireland and it looks like we are surfing 🏄 ankle slapers on the GoPro.
GoPro seems to shrink waves so much. Tgis must have been a giant wave.
So true, I've always wondered that watching Nathan Florence's videos.. Makes a 50 foot wave look like a nice overhead day at your local break lol
PE = no joke
Hands down the best, most insane POV ever.
☝️🎆👏😙☝️🌊🌠🌞🙏 + alsooo the most refreshing POV on Life & awesumness of Raw Nature, all round :) 🙏🌅🕊
Kai is in superhuman shape. He never looked like he was in trouble during any of those poundings..
4:20 The board spinning while Kai jumps over the back is so sick
I love it
That whole ride was amazing! That cavernous barrel.
¡Muy enfermo de hecho!
Much RESPECT for your dedication to this life...And being the best you can be 🤙
Same
Here here 🍻
John steger your tryna get clout

Common, Masunte ???
There's no waves over there ....
This makes no sense.
Undertow is really strong around Mazunte
Huge respect for you Kai, this determination and this courage are impressive!
Super rad! My best memory of Puerto is drinking a beer on the beach while watching rays jump out of the water in the surf at sunset.
3:40 this was mind-altering; I had to watch it three times
💯🥇👌🏄♂️
jeez the way he ducked under that curtain to pull in, wow!

There is another beach at Colima , the waves are almost like puerto but is scarier because there is no lifeguards and a small crowd
@@iagofratti there's a lot of guys that don't use security equipment and now imagine 30 years ago vests where almost nonexistent
@@iagofratti - no security equipment but we were all expert swimmers & in excellent condition. Besides, inflatable vests weren’t even thought of.

Jason, you are an O.G. my friend. Respect!
0:10 Surfer in the background in prayer.
Omg I noticed that too I was scared for him haha
Best surf contest footage I’ve seen in my life
Watch the jaws cbdmd competition way better footage and massive waves in 2 sets will blow the mind !! This is good no doubt but nowhere near that..
It's on Nathan Florence's channel and go bout half way thru for action and it's amazing footage
Didn’t look anywhere close to 50 feet. Puerto looks brutal though. That last wave at 10:00 was sick
2:34 "ohhhhhhhhh fuuuuuuuuuuuuck"
6:41 superman. Love this. Great pov. Thank you . Stay stoked.
I held my breath with every wave! 😂 Sick video footage man 🔥🔥🔥👌

Kai “El Gato” Lenny. I woulda died at least 9 times. This guy’s pretty incredible in big water.
You’ve gotta be in amazing shape my man just getting worked
Went there every year from
1978 to 1984
September & October
stayed for 20$ a month
at the carpentero's cabanas ,
got it big 20'-25' with no crowds !
Best day I can remember was 5'-7' perfect shape late afternoon glass off turquoise perfection !
The winning barrel was amazing! >>> POV was off the hook >>> thanks for sharing your 1st win! >> you are inspiring!
What an amazing edit!
I'm absolutely shitting my pants...
I just noticed what seems to be a pectus excavatum, Kai. It would make all of your acomplishments that much more incredible! Could it be? All the best from Portugal, happy new year!
No they wear suits with padding and or c02 for flotation
thought for a moment there you had gone from jaws to mavericks to mexico to surf the same swell lol
Such sick footage of someone who I believe will be remembered along the same lines as Laird. His commitment to pushing the boundaries, his enthusiasm and cajones are unrivalled. Kai Lenny Ultimate Waterman 🙌✨️🤙
Biggest pounding I ever took was at Puerto Escondido.
Я тоже! (Me too)
Someone got hurt there everyday when I stayed there 80 81
The same for me😂 back in the sand violently😪
ditto
Can only imagine how wild that place is when it's cooking
It’s awesome how you paddle onto one wave and then get the very next following wave in one sequence. So cool
The video was cut
6:46 weeeeeee
He just flew away 😂
Sick!! I wouldve drowned on the first wave probably so much respect Kai.
That makes two of us!
Big props to my landlord in Bali, The Silent Ninja. Who rescued surfers at Puerto in 4 to 6 times overhead. In the '80s. FANTASTIC VIDEO !! Thank u.
Broke my back real bad there the next year on a "medium" sized day, place is heavy. Yeah, Kai! It was a good show, stoked to see it in person!
Some of the best footage ever in this Kai. Balls of steel as always.
8:46 smooth af
We don't always get to see the battle that these warriors go through in the lineup. His stamina to keep paddling is unreal.
I got mad respect for u Kai but everyone has to give respect for the guy at the first clip who took that MONSTER TO THE HEADDD.
I still come back to the video time and time again and watch the whole thing just amazed at the danger and how thrilling this must be to be out there
Siiiiiiick! 3:40 - 4:20 is the m most surreal, most epic coverage ever. The slow motion diving off the board looks like an astronaut jumping into a nebula. Amazing.
Classic. He got first wave of the set with 3 or 4 behind on top of him but “ it didn’t really do much”
That’s gotta be an understatement . I can only imagine fighting for my life
in fairness he does have an inflatable vest to give him a bitta help
For there to be winners there must be losers. Smoke gets in my eye as my ashtray is piled high while I watch Kai touch the sky. What a nice, positive guy. You go man!
those chemtrail milky clouds are horrifying. you rock KAI..aloha from happy valley maui ! ( cop canyon )
Congratulations on your WIN 🌊✨🤙
That was the sickest POV video I've ever seen... frickin' awesome (brutal) 😱😱
Very good to remember a moment like this !! Congratulations on the championship you deserve too much !! I'm your fan here from Brazil !! you are a monster when it comes to any board sport !! hopefully one day I will have the pleasure of meeting you !!
Did you release your leash on wave 1 and 2 or did they break?
I think they broke
The leash does not look broken
So excited to go to puerto this week for the first time and learn to surf :)
It's very nice in the dry season. Clear, warm water small waves.
I'm only 3 minutes in having to comment "Holy shit you got pounded"
5:28 DAMN! that lip hit looks scary as hell!
Ay at least my man got some AMAZING waves
sorry I'll stop commenting but when Kai got smashed by the lip it was so
terrifying.
Kai is the grandson of Superman.
You need a Binky ? Or another mail in ballot ?
@@Killemgrillem00 dude what
@@georgeannaflook1016 lmfaooo
Some of the best pov I've seen the barrels went on forever and that wave looked so heavy kai you are a legend never looked phased not once! keep doing your thing 💥✌
When Kai say big, for us is hugeeeee..!! Well done bro..👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽
First take is unbelievably real it feels exactly as when you get caught the worst way and felt that ache in my stomach !...what a beating ..!
Maybe one of the best waterman to grace our sport. Thanks for sharing. Mahalos.
Took a massive beating for that trophy, Big Congrats !!!!!!
Congratulations Kai! We were hoping so bad that you were going to head to Puerto to surf these killer waves! They are treacherous for sure! You made it look easy amigo, congrats! Love the footage, wow!!!!
Awe inspiring to see Kai get hammered again and again by those heavy Puerto waves, hanging in there and finally snagging the winner.
That slow motion in the green room is radical.
the commitment is ridiculous
That was brutal even to watch. Great perseverance:)
Heaviest waves I've ever surfed was in Puerto. Lucky I was 21 years hold and in better shape back then.. now at 42 I'd have a broken back.
We flew into Acapulco and rented a van and drove 8 hours to Puerto Escondido. Such a great trip!!
How did you break your back?
So me at 62, your saying i probably should give it a miss ?
man those shots from inside the barrels are so fricken gnarly
my heart is beating more on that video than when I surf 4 feet waves
And surf in swimming pool 😀
You are the bravest man in the Universe. Glad you made it out alive.
getting caught under a wave is like dying
and popping out, unexpectedly, to the surface
is like birth, and the next few minutes feel like a new chance at life haha
Unreal footage. Cajones of steel on that lad!
I try and hold my breath for the whole time Kai is getting smashed. But I get so nervous I can’t do it 😂
Kai is a f*in beast.
This video is nuts! 🤯 He breaks leashes like rubber bands 😝 so much power in Zicatela 🔥
Those are some mammoth barrels! You are the OG! Unreal!
Bro that was the most exhilarating footage I've ever seen period!! 🙌
That was an awesome insight into what it takes to win there. Guts n determination with years of practice obviously 🌊😲🤙
I'm tingling with pure stoke for ya, congratulations man🥇Major Shakka Bra 🤙... Numero Uno ☝
Ewwwww 🏄
Man, the shot of the turning board and Kai whiping out in the background was crazy...
Yeeeeeew 🤟 6:41 you do be jumping like a s squirrel
Best POV surfing videos on TH-cam. Hope you had your shots Kai, and I don't mean Covid.
2:35- That's how terrifying a 6 footer looks to me. I'm pretty sure I'd die of a heart attack before I drowned in those waves.
That wave does not have 50 foot as the video claim.. 15 foot max..
I don't surf Mexico anymore. If you notice all that brown foam, that ain't just brown foam lol. It has gotten worse and worse throughout the years. After getting sick a few times from surfing K58, La Fonda, La Mission, and a few secret spots. I just gave up a few years back.
Stay psyched and stay safe everyone! God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼
These are super nice guys dedicated to the sport.. may they catch waves for ever🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Definitely some monster waves. But 50ft? Absolutely no way.
Commanding with absolutely no fear. It's art in motion.
Love this video. Really showed one man versus a wave.
Maaaate those inside barrel ejections looked full on from the go pro shots. Hectic!! Can't believe how calm you are bobbing in the water in front of mountains of white water.
4:10. So trippy
Awesome footage! His stamina and strength is off the charts!
That first slow-mo of the board going over the falls was 👌🍻
That was really hard to watch, those sets that appeared just when he came up for air...whew
4:16 what a shot
Nice wave Kai Lenny a big fan. I even have a car verse that says Kai Lenny obviously
4:20 awesome spinning of the camera on the wipeout
Kai Lenny is fearless big wave surfer.
mad respect, i have no desire to ever surf puerto escondito. looks like the gnarliest beach break ever
Puerto is so scary to me. I wouldn’t paddle out on a 4-6 day
insane ride @3:44
So heavy bro!!!! Good job! That last barrel was siiiccckkk!
4:14 looked so trippy
That was FUN man !! Thanks for the ride !!
I'm not saying there weren't big wave but I never saw a 50ft wave. Maybe a 30 footer but not 50 ft. Maybe I missed it...
VIP green room views there. Amazing!
Waow. Like if we were with you in the water. I think than I've hold my breath... Aloha and happy new year 2021. Keep on riding 🤙
Nothing sucks worse than thinking you timed the sets right, only to paddle out and get caught up by a set wave coming down five feet from you. It’s a great way to think to yourself, I’m gonna drown.
