I wish I lived in hawiaii . What an amazing life. Kai Lenni is such a dude. Not pretentious in the slightest. And always comes across as being constantly stoked.
He's an inspiration
I remember the guy who pioneered foiling in the 80’s. He invented it for a friend or a family member who lost their leg and couldn’t waterski anymore. I used to watch him out at the lakes and river and his was a chair that he sat in. His big move was cutting across the wake and doing an up/down pump then slapping the board on the ramp of the wake and it would launch him straight into a huge flip. I see you guys going off the ramp under the power of the foil. Try slapping the nose on a downward pump then arch back and pull and see what happens. Like you’re bouncing off the ramp. I’ll be looking for it. All your stuff is great.
All you guy’s have the Aloha spirit and it rocks.
Best waterman alive right there, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thanks for these awesome videos Kai!
Am I the only one who would love to see the „backstage stuff“ of Kai‘s sessions?! For instance his positioning and paddle techniques… how he gets out… more pop ups… and especially how he handles whipe outs without a leash…
Wholesome viewing .
My 3.5 year old boy “is that Kai Lenny?”
Me “yep “
Boy “I want to do that “
Me “me too “
So awesome, Kai!
Thanks a lot for sharing some of your foil knowledge. You should do one episode on foiling for beginners
Omark De Leon he did a series with Naish, check it out.
SC Nomad
Thanks
20@20 is so good. Always so nice when a new episode is out
Awesome! 😊 Congrats Kai on the Big Wave Men’s Best Overall Performance award 2020! 🏄 🌊 Keep ridin' the leading edge 😊
You are a nice dude when you order food. I like that.
Best youtuber on yt
Keep it up brother
"we ride" hahaha got me craving a bean burrito
Impressive .
I can see your front strap is not pararalle to the board axis and just on the midel .for surf kite ok, but for kite foil or wing foil is it not anoying ?
What to you recommend?
I wanna grow up to be like Kai
I was dumb enough tobuy a Pyzel and Go Foil setup and try learning with a broken foot and cast. I prone foiled until I could stand and have been at it for a few months.
Absolute inspiration! I've used lots of these videos to learn what setups to try. And more importantly, what to order from Taco Bell.
Very nice, I like your explanations about the waves and your gear. Did you go to the doctor to get that flesh wound stitched?
You are awesome 😀
I would love the new go pro to take video of my son!!! Thanks Kai and hope this is the right video to like and mention GoPro...you are insane
Hey Kai!! You should try F4 foils, they are extremely high quality and super fun!!
Owwww yeahhhh! 💪🏽🔥
Amazing thank you for the advices
U need more subs
Any chance you can give us an update on what foils you are using now and what has changed the last two years?
That "mere flesh wound" is the weirdest flap/scar I've ever seen. What's going on there and how did it happen?
Ya totally rip Kai, but your addiction to taco bell is...well...uh...ya know there's counseling for that...LOL
Hey Kai, it's cool to see the Spencer brothers on here, do you ride with Kane de Wilde much?
What’s the volume of that 4’-6” board? Size of wing? Thanks
SC Nomad 25 liters, front wing is 1075
Kai have you ever seen Kelly foiling?
When is your video of sandpiles and the hurricane swell coming?
How fast are you going on the foil? ( if your watch tells you)And can you ride them through the white water or do you get hung up?
Keagan Luttrell in theses waves I can get going around 20mph, if the foil is a good design it goes through white water no worries
Parece flutuar sobre a água! Muito legal!
maaaaaaaaaaaan
Yo Kai you should try wakeboarding some time!!!!
5 layer life
What’s the longest time you stayed on your foil?
From the beginning I was worried about how deep the water was with the foil so low underneath you...
I was wondering if you have to walk out a little bit or is it deep enough almost right away?
You paddle out with the mast and wings up above the surface. Once you're deep enough, you flip it over and get the mast/wings under water. Some dudes are good enough to run at the water and jump on the board, and pump to keep the wings off the rock/reef/sand. It's mental
Braddah Kai. I had SOOO much respect for you and everything you've achieved, untouchable big-wave performances etc. Then you go order MILD 'hot' Sauce from Taco Bell?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! FIRE OR NOTHING!!!!! 🤣 Diablo if you really want to live dangerously
two foot to flat sloppy
totally rips
flying down the line and getting air
so great
Aloha Brother
How bout a Laird n Kai Surf about !
Might want to think about some super glue for those wounds
Is there a motor in the foil ?
Nope
🤙🏼
You heard it here kids. Diet of the champions: Taco Bell!
nice
Bom dia Kai, if I get selected to win the Go Pro 9, I would shoot videos of a kite boarding school here in Mozambique with locals doing flipping impressive moves. I would also include shots of mozambican culture how the kids live here in a developing country and trying to do sports that westerners do. #gopro9giveaway
Need a new go pro for Spearfishing and windsurfing bro!
Pls more POV
Foil board looks like it's inspired by Greenough edge boards to me, not f1
I enjoyed honking at you btw.
#GoProGiveaway Awesome channel Kai! Would love to have a #GoProHero9 to shoot videos of me being a surfer in a wheelchair♿ and show the world what is possible.🤙🏽 @willem.hooft
I will be shooting some bad ass Surfing videos in EGYPT, there is way more stuff than only desert in egypt! Also some scuba diving videos. Instagram account: @hamza_elnimr
Will travel more with more creative angle of video's @selvanad
Gear doesn't matter....
it's all about the Taco Bell.
Get a Nike swoosh board shaped. Genius marketing, they'd be throwing LeBron money at you
Nice video! But pls don`t show the wound so close.
