Kai at Peahi
« on: November 30, 2013, 08:27:59 AM »
This pic is from Mike Neal who aside from taking spectacular sunsets also gets his fair share of surf action.  Surf came up yesterday.  So in case you haven't seen this ...

According to my pal who was on a ski helping out, Kai's drop was almost inverted at the top.  Tail over the nose, but as you can see he made it.

A wave like this is even a stretch for my nightly big wave dreams! Nice work Kai.

Awesome... It would be interesting to know the board and fin setup he used.  Obviously Kai's skill makes it happen, but his setup had to be able to handle the speed and bumps.
Me:  6'1" x 180
Board(S): Axis foils: HPS 980, BSC 740, 810, ART 899, 999
Jimmy Lewis Wing Board 4’10” x 23 x 71L
Rawson 7’8” x 26”
Jimmy Lewis Stun Gun 8'2" x 28.3/4 x 99L
Naish Hokua 8'5" x 28 x 115L
