Naxto Gonzalez got a crazy barrel during the nazare challenge. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bNPw1rwOjoU.html I would really love a whide shot of this clip to compare.
For anyone who doesn't really surf it's important to know how much SMALLER the gopro makes waves like these appear. And they already appear big, meaning they are HUGEEEEEE. Much respect Kai
Yeah, I mounted a GoPro on the front of my board, and it's a terrible angle. Unless you get barrelled every wave looks tiny. Kai's barrel here at 2:10 onwards looks incredible!!
That barrel footage at Nazare was once in a lifetime. You may never see something that epic again. Thanks for sharing this Kai!! Every normally complimentary word to describe your legendary status is a severe understatement. Keep doing what you are doing because you are literally changing the game of surfing and inspiring the world.
That was the best board mounted footage I’ve seen! Just captured all the elements of life in the water-rides, wipeouts, clean-up sets, a mad barrel ride with only one foot on the board for a bit.....great surfer
These guys are unbelievable. I can't even fathom what they do. I'm watching Kai take these waves, barely keeping his balance on the board and just charging it. I have much admiration. These guys (and gals) are brave.
The entire globe is in a panic and yet surfing has never looked so good, thanks to terrific footage by Kai Lenny and a handful of others! But Lenny is bringing the heat 24/7, and it's mas apreciado!
There’s so many different levels of being fearless. I once tried to save a kitty from being hit on a highway. Not quite the same as surfing nazare. Epic job Kai. Stay safe so we can always watch these vids 👍
One of the coolest videos uploaded. Funny how the first thing Kai checks is his go pro. Id be checking to see if I shit myself after and then look at the go pro . Lol.
Kai, dude, great pov vid. Really enjoyed seeing you up close while battling those waves. Also, loved the slo-mo. Really got a chance to see what was happening. Probably best surf vid I've seen in a LONG time. Mahalo! Aloha!
Dude that was awesome footage and photography. I had to remind myself to breathe. Your video completely captures the violence energy and power. Just beautiful
Golly gee whizz kid I used to fly a lot, BUT YOU MUST KNOW THE STEWARDESSES BY name on all the airplanes. Also, CONGRATULATIONS on that awesome/beautiful Nazare TUBE!! Cheers to all good people!
That has to be one of the most majestic moments that I've yet to experience surfing or skimboarding hopefully one day. That barrel was so incredible the structure behind the wave was insane
1:27 the board taking a whipeout is really impressive stuff, I don't think I've seen a POV of that so great before. I hope you're getting paid by GoPro for this, cause if you're not, you should definitely contact them! :D
Kai: "hello I"m kai lenny (L-E-N-N-Y... yes that's right: with two N and one Y): look I have this really nice shot that I took with the gopro and I really think you could give me one of your cameras for free because it's really good advertising for you guys" GoPro: "you mean, on top of your multi-million sponsoring contract with us? sure, I'm shipping your new camera right now"
When he’s paddling that hard to catch a wave , it’s a wave most of us couldn’t catch … epic in & out brother ! “ DEEP “….🤙🏽oh yeah , circus one leg recovery man , only you 🫵🏼
Insane Kai you never cease to amaze me brother & when people do that these days it’s refreshing cause surfing can be repetitive it’s awesome 😎 to have trail blazers like your fellow Maui lads Albee Billy Matt & your brother love watching with my throat in my mouth at the intense waves 🌊 you lads charge on 🤙🏻😎😝aloha from Burleigh Heads 🇦🇺😎🤙🏻
One footed out of a paddled in Mega barrel at Narare...That would be my overly wordy title for RU-vid videos if it were me....hahahaha.. Amazing footage Kai, Absolutely one the best Big wave riders ever.
Perserverence pays. How many tube rides do you see at Nazare? That one was a wonder. Taking the risk and beating of a cold water hold down to find the take off that will put him in the barrel. Gargantuan kudos Kai, but i suspect Fame and Glory are secondary to the few seconds of infinity you find in your breathable blue water bliss..
You know what this guy inspired me to surf the biggest wave of my life and I can’t believe he paddle out and catch a huge wave without the jetSki help but he did used it a bit but you know what’s the craziest about all of this he did a barrel inside a wave which I thought was never possible but Kai did the impossible thank you.
