That GoPro mount must be strong as hell. 😂🤙🤙

[Mketnr]

When the waves look that big on a go pro, you know they massive

[dirtycurty]

Kai is in superhuman shape. He never looked like he was in trouble during any of those poundings..

[breathspinecore]

Hands down the best, most insane POV ever.

[Kstross]

4:20 The board spinning while Kai jumps over the back is so sick

[johnsteger]

Much RESPECT for your dedication to this life...And being the best you can be 🤙

[bennigouls]

I've always said I would love to see "raw" video of surf where we see champs get pounded !! To be able to see that champs are also getting pounded and that they are not only surfing the waves of their life all the time, shows what it really takes to be at the top !
Thanks Kai

One of the more interesting surfing vids. Kai's fitness, wave sense and feel for the tube is captured brilliantly. Seems like a genuine waterman with a love for the ocean.

I surfed it about this size several times back in the 80’s when the crowd was pretty much zero, you had to take a miserable hours long bus ride over a washboard dirt road from Oaxaca city with mountain locals & livestock. It was me & my 2 friends out & I’ve surfed a lot of big wave but at this size, feeling all alone & no rescue with 100 miles, it scared the shit out of me.

I watch these vids & my PTSD comes back😂😂

Super rad! My best memory of Puerto is drinking a beer on the beach while watching rays jump out of the water in the surf at sunset.

[barev]

3:40 this was mind-altering; I had to watch it three times

[naxxodrop]

I had met 2 persons who just died drowned in Puerto Escondido waters, this is real shit. Even I was in danger in Mazunte early on 2020. Big respect to Kai and everyone who is brave enough to defy the ocean.

[NevilleFarkinBartos]

thought for a moment there you had gone from jaws to mavericks to mexico to surf the same swell lol

[neoprene]

Huge respect for you Kai, this determination and this courage are impressive!

[ziezoh]

Biggest pounding I ever took was at Puerto Escondido.

0:10 Surfer in the background in prayer.

[mikec.]

Kai “El Gato” Lenny. I woulda died at least 9 times. This guy’s pretty incredible in big water.

[sharkoboyo]

Best surf contest footage I’ve seen in my life

[conradserrano]

We don't always get to see the battle that these warriors go through in the lineup. His stamina to keep paddling is unreal.

[rumtum]

You’ve gotta be in amazing shape my man just getting worked
