Day of the Decade at Mavericks? | Life of Kai Season 2

Kai Lenny, his brother Ridge and Ian Walsh fly to Mavericks in California for what's being hailed as the swell of the decade. The waves are huge and clean as Kai pushes the limits of human performance in giant surf.
Mavericks is known to be one of the scariest and most dangerous waves on the planet. With 40-50 foot waves, great white sharks the size of cars and a reef shelf that suctions surfers underwater for potential two wave hold downs, the XXL wave is a force to be reckoned with.
Dive into all things Mavericks and beyond in this latest installment of Life of Kai.

Pete Mel’s wave is the best wave Ever ridden at mavs.

[@camerontripney5026]

100%

[@bgpjr1989]

one of the best waves ever ridden period

[@PlaySA]

I just posted the same thing. That was INSANE, without a doubt best wave I've ever seen ridden at Mavericks. Thing looked more like Jaws

[@RedBullSurfing]

Couldn't agree more, wave of a lifetime

[@hayesmccarron4816]

Jay Moriarty is the GOAT

[@srf2112]

I give Kai all the props he's definitely earned them but that wave Peter Mel caught behind the bowl was far and away the most incredible ride of that session. These guys are all unbelievable.

[@RedBullSurfing]

Agreed on all fronts, Pete's wave truly the wave of a lifetime: incredible!

[@Quantitative_Teasing]

This guy is blessed with true happiness you can just tell from his vibe. There is something about conquering your fears and excelling on the other side of it.

[@PlaySA]

Oh my god that Pete Mel wave!! That might be the best wave at Mavericks EVER

[@salvadorroibon]

Big wave ride of the year, 2021. Best wave at Mavericks EVER indeed.

[@RedBullSurfing]

Our favorite Mavs moment of recent memory!

[@fergusoliver8785]

11:50 Amazing

[@zacharybaggs9279]

It's really nice to see Kai his brother ridge and Ian wash represent Maui in a very respectful way they don't lead with pride hostility and negativity I'm 50 years old now and they brought my passion and surfing back to know we have awesome surfers like this that just love to surf and have wonderful attitudes along with Shane Dorian who I grew up with.

[@kookiemonster3261]

Loving that Red Bull energy in the opening clip.

[@karts21]

Such a humble athlete

[@RedBullSurfing]

Humble and all around great human 🙌

[@steinervision7643]

Kai is hitting his stride as a big wave surfer! His experience and talent was on display all day on this Day of Days at Mavericks!!

[@RedBullSurfing]

The man really can do it all

[@jojijosette5946]

I'm a swimmer, not a surfer. I love Kai Lenny. He's an all-around great athlete and cool person. He inspires me. I think a lot of who Kai is, is due to his solid and stable family background.

[@ODL957]

To Kai, Ian and all of the sponsors, THANK YOU so MUCH. Great documentary

[@RedBullSurfing]

🤝🤝🤝

[@user-bz8sy9cj8e]

“You wanted all the smoke huh” 🤣

[@ggexpeditions867]

Peter Mel’s barrel was just insane

[@ryohill3140]

16:07 that looks awesome

[@superviking1149]

It’s so satisfying to watch people do things that they love. It basically gives u motivation to stand up and do something that u always found amusing and interesting. Beautiful series!!!!

[@conorlinehan4434]

I looked up that Ian Walsh fall further and I am glad to see him okay. Didn’t see him explain it like this, and he 100% sent himself into another dimension. His experience in getting held down like that is what made him not drown.

[@johncarter5152]

I thought your last Jaws wave couldn’t be beat until I saw this.Dude your are on a different level 🤟

[@BlakeDumas]

@14:42 Well said Kai💯 Most surfers get that same feeling after a great sesh with your family or friends 🔥🙌🏽🔥

[@RedBullSurfing]

🙌🙌🙌

[@SantaCruzLocal]

It’s cool to see Ian still charging hard . I remember seeing him captain on a boat in San Diego taking Pete Mel to Cortez Bank way back before he was a ledge !

[@CurlyGenius6000]

Let's go. I have been waiting so long for life of Kai season 2 😁🌠👍

[@RedBullSurfing]

Us too, we're live!!

[@michelob.]

Mr. Leonard I am absolutely speechless! So amazing! Glad you guys came you saw you conquered! 🤙 Shout out to the RedBull crew!

[@indigovenice]

Kai Lenny ❤ beautiful that infectious smile and that incredible energy!!!

[@quahogg5550]

Good morning from the East coast, starting my day with a frosty redbull and some Kai Lenny.🤙

[@janalkema9320]

No one deserves this more than Kai. Well done mate.

[@liamsimpson7676]

Thanks for the vid I love watching you surf Mavericks

[@cliffcurtistruth]

You don't need to win lots of surfing contests to be the best surfer in the world when you have a great personality.

[@monicacampbell4600]

This was an intense and incredible session. The telling of it makes it epic!! 🌊🤠

[@RedBullSurfing]

Couldn't agree more, what a session

[@myronschabe]

This series is outstanding.

[@heenalu03]

What Peter was just at Captioal volunteering as a surf instructor for Operation Surf. Thats was sick.

[@janandrewlacanilao303]

Keep it up Kai! Push Push Push!

[@taylorklein2378]

OG Peter Mel with the wave of the day!

[@gayleyb1233]

It doesn't matter where on the globe Kai is..........he makes us happy and inspired.

[@AtortAerials]

Kai you such a legend thanks for giving us this inside look it’s rad. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@Jenny-pg8hf]

SO HAPPY I stumbled upon this series!!!

[@mikejohnson5900]

Brave men for sure. I've been around guys like Kai before and they are a blast to be around. A lot of energy and funny, they make doing things so much fun.

[@sharktooth64]

Then a Condor arrived from Half Moon Bay and showed the young pups how its done. EPIC Pete.

[@Sol_Weird]

Awesome episode, Thanks Red Bull Surf for putting this series out! We need more surfer spotlights IMO... Had no idea Ian has been riding Big Waves long enough, that little Kai watched him as a kid. Show idea for Ian: "The Ten Dimensions of Ian Walsh"

[@avi8928]

This is beautiful to watch! Can't wait for the next one!

[@RedBullSurfing]

Us too! If you can't resist the urge to binge the entire season, check them out now on Red Bull TV: win.gs/3r8seMM

[@esmarimostert2150]

I love the energy kai gives off

[@kailuakidd1512]

Outstanding, perfect timing, cheers.

[@roddevere2975]

Kai Lenny is one cool guy.

[@gaslinkmusic9972]

This is sick

[@RedBullSurfing]

🔥🔥🔥

[@gaslinkmusic9972]

I realy want to become a pro surfer, i sometimes get to The Bristol Wave fortunately!

[@S333Dxl]

That amount of control wow!

[@nohra_twigs6662]

This was amazing Peter Mel’s wave was just mesmerizing

[@stephenwolfram356]

Ian got smoked, Kai is cruising, classic.

[@alexdubois6585]

Mel almost got another gold run!!!

[@natashaa7014]

need a season 3 PLEASEEEE

[@Tonystarkes888]

man these guys are mystics

[@maxschatz201]

Wooooooow Lenny’s are insane

[@MrLuigiFercotti]

Never seen someone get deep in the barrel like Mel does at 11:50. Amazing

[@clarkewi]

I lived on a 30 foot sailboat in that harbour from 1989-2005. Saw the whole thing go down including the day Foo drowned.

[@j5555785]

Two things.... Kai is drawing the same lines as Mike Stewart, so that's insane exceptionally, exceptionally x 1000 rare ocean knowledge/instinct....... and Peter Mel surfed the best wave ever ridden, hands down, look at 11:50. Hands down.

[@FLBOARD]

Living the dream !

[@OldSkullzSkateboard]

LEGEND !

[@marcosfraser4157]

Incredible

[@alexdubois6585]

Good runs Ridge

[@chrisculley3756]

Yeah Pete Mel's wave was just the sickest ever ridden out there at mavs. Dude was standing tall in the barrel and claiming it. Awesome. RLTW 3/75

[@juniormanning2944]

Kai, you should buy that hotel one day.

[@kookiemonster3261]

Mavs, jaws , nazza, Biggest Ball having chargers in world history. Props.

[@SilverGreySportsClub]

Amazing!! But an acknowledgement of Jeff Clark, who 'discovered' Mavericks, would have only added to it.

[@jordanmills1106]

I'm 42 been surfing since I was 10 I'm physically fit but still getting worried in anything slightly overhead and then there is kai lenny 😬

[@mccards]

Unreal.

[@MachineHeadDissent]

Red Bull rocks it!!!…🤙😎🤘

[@scottthorson1]

I miss my view of Mavs from the kitchen! El Granada local approves of this video. 314 Av Cabrillo E Town! Look it up! ✌️

[@timwannell6477]

Just insane 🤙🤙🤙😱😱😱

[@mooboo6603]

Those huge boards look a bit clunky though. I guess you need that paddle speed to get into the wave? In that case I'd prefer to see a tow in with a short board

[@noniadelarosa1634]

↕️♾🌈Thanks so much🙏Sending so much ♾love💗↕️♾🌈

[@wolfmansbrethren2516]

Way to sneak in an old clip of Peter Mel 😂😂😂

[@MyLifeBeLikeNow]

stored my xtra cartridge in my bootie haha 😲☝🏽😆

[@sickdawgplayz5074]

i was there it was flat and you just cant imigine it with 60 foot waves.

[@coasterincalifornia]

me not knowing about this and swimming right next to mavs 😅 i knew about the surf stuff just never big wave

[@saccaed]

Mavericks is a big thing I miss about moving away from El Granada last year.

[@DRYAN8130]

Unfortunately it didn’t have the greatest season this winter. Last season was the best season in a long time.

[@saccaed]

@@DRYAN8130 Not surprising. I was there for that season and I think the last that was that good was 2010.

[@fritter1287]

keep it up

[@bonsummers2657]

When was this huge swell? It's been small this past week in SoCaL

[@trolliixz9595]

I want to know what the ending song is. Awesome video too

[@tommyhofer1176]

last year though right?

[@RedBullSurfing]

A blast from the past

[@natashaa7014]

it’s my dream to meet Kai Lenny

[@alecmartin1112]

what’s the song at the end?

[@LEO-pw3fc]

I’m gonna surf Mavericks

[@theotimedorel1167]

Still can't find this ending song :(

[@CurlyGenius6000]

Bruh 😲

[@Sweatyglasses]

Why do u need a board just float to the top and let wave push u a little

[@ericandi]

“Great White Sharks…” That would be a big NO for me.

[@alexdubois6585]

Some juice early in the morning?

[@xavii2026]

Intro: when you drink too much red bull

[@user-ym7jl7jr4b]

Song @ 9:22?

[@gilafunk]

I think there was surfing in this, right?

[@rihaabelias183]

Sachen sind schon gepackt. Ha ha ha .

[@antonvrb1510]

Not your average bear.

[@aldenaudricmatondo5800]

[@fergferguson7370]

Powerlines does it best….since the early 90s..this looks like all their footage ..except for the fluff.

[@BostonsF1nest]

The music is so bad in this season
