I think I'm old enough to admit now that I've taken a load of hard falls on all types of snow and they can bloomin hurt but that looks like hitting sloppy concrete which then morphs into wet carpet chaos bulldozer. Yeah Kai! Thank you. Havin it mate. Big smiles here at sharing your munching and sweet barrel x
Air drop and the barrel at the end? One of the most amazing clips I’ve seen. Even better because all the chandelier water on your board jumps up and claims when you do.
The last barrel omg, how could you manage to stay on your board, i said to myself "ok this one it will be hard to catch up, he will eat" but you made it look so ez, unbelievable 👏
Kai you have incredible skill, and balls of steel, taking on Jaws like that - the wipeout @2:32 where you fell away into the abyss butt first was epic - thanks for sharing!
The commitment that bottom turn into the event horizon of the cave of fear, pale in comparison to the commitment to try one more after the explosion happens full force. Titans on a legendary world of giants and the force of nature. Pura Vida Kai
IMpressive & great perspective. It's hard to get a sence of time and how hard it is to react to the external factors with the slow motion and the vibration but great to be able to see it. It does not seem too bad the washing machine on the outer reef with a vest... On the one where you fell from the ridge, I thought you were going to early... how wrong I was...
Whenever I see a video of someone riding a big wave from the vantage point of a boat or the shore I always think that it doesn't do it justice because you don't get a feel for what it's like right there in the action. Now that I get great POV shots from Kenny of the action, I think, wouldn't it also be great to get the larger perspective of how big that wave is from the vantage point of the shore or a boat. Guess I'm just never satisfied. So I'm putting a request in for each wave ridden to always include all vantage points including the front of board mounted back facing camera, the drone camera, the shore camera, the boat camera, the yet to be devised back of board front facing camera and last but not least, the cameraman in the water in the wave camera as the surfer goes by. Then, and only then, might I be satisficed. But probably not.
Even though he's ultimately going to eat it on that first wave, the kind of drops and saves he makes leading up to it the wipeout are just plain impressive. And that drop @2:53... to make that work in the end is almost superhuman. It's crazy to me people would rather watch the Super Bowl over this.
Always awesome and always thank you for sharing... it's super cool to get a close look at big wave surfing not just a bunch of pictures in magazines are super far away shots what you're always cool but not as cool as board mounted shots... Happy surfing from VIRGINIA BEACH!!!+++:)))
I got wiped out in Maui. I jumped into a massive wave and it just threw me all over the place. I thought that was bad. Love how you escaped being wiped out the last few times!
Got crushed yesterday by baby Hookipa wave trying to simply stay on a board cant keep up with my boyfriend you guys are insane. The paddle strength, breathing technique holy hell no wonder takes years of practice
Wow amazing footage of your wild rides!! Wound b great to see footage of same waves from an off wave angel. Thanks so much for sharing. Campion🏆🏆👍🎉✌️❤️
That epic 1st W/out Brilliant,, clever leaving audio/visual of aftermath & maelstrom under water, be a worry if wasn't 1 of the doz big boys, how fit do ya gotta be.? 🤤😜👍🇦🇺
I saw Nate Florence blog- surfing monster lefts in Ireland.His first 3 waves=wipeouts.Had his hoodie pulled over his face-totally BLIND during the beat down.Still went back out for more.These guys are NUTZ.
jeesh, I could never consider this ... as a teen in 60’s NS, got held under 2 waves 7 ft set was enough! ... such a different era now blows my mind ... but miss the innocence of the 60’s
Also I'd like to think that shapers could build/glass into boards little housings/hollows in boards that GoPro's could lock into so they don't get lost or knocked off etc.. Or go the whole hog and just build a board that had in built cameras that could be detached or charged while left in.. clicking GoPro's onto boards seems like a primitive way to do this right now.
