Okay, let us mere mortals, take all our boards, of all our various forms of surfing, put them in a big pile, and just light them on fire.

Is my response if I was a competitor, which I'm glad I'm not, especially with this guy around.

Lenny is at his peak and at his age, he should stay at his peak for a very long time.

Amazing wave. He was in the hunt at the end and got the wave he (and everyone else) wanted. Beautiful ride, great job. Congratulations Kai. The look on his face says it all.

what a freak 

[PonoBill]

Kai has world level titles on just about anything you can do with water and wind.

[OUTSIDEWAVE]

what do you make of a comparison between Slater and Kai.   The one thing they have in common beside such raw talent  is humility.  But I would be interested to know what you think?

Good write up on Kai...

KAI’S DECISION TO COMPETE IN WSL:  “A NEW CHALLENGE”

Kai made the choice to fly to Mexico with his family in order to compete in “a new challenge.”  Big wave surfing requires confidence, a certain comfort level and Kai was in peak form from his endurance training for M2O.

“I think Jamie Mitchell and I were among the most well trained,” he said of the incredible one-two punch these two standup paddle athletes gave that Puerto Escondido event by coming in 1st and 2nd.  “We are used to training for M2O, for these longer races, and it helped out a lot in the big wave event because we were not fatigued,” recalls Kai.
