Kai Lenny VS Jaws | Prevailing Over Fear

Watch the latest episodes of Life of Kai on Red Bull TV: win.gs/Kai_Lenny
While the big-wave “game” may be evolving at a breakneck pace, Kai Lenny continues to consistently push his limits to perform at his highest level. In his latest journey, Kai explores tactics of extreme breath-holds with his brother Ridge, keeps his place in the cutthroat Jaws lineup, and provides for his community (in more ways than one) when the worst natural disaster in recent American history strikes Maui.
And as far as the new generation nipping at his heels? Mr. Lenny welcomes the competition with open arms.

You tell a story that is about surfing, but, more importantly, it is about people, about humanity. That is what makes any story worth telling! 🙂

[@Youtubecansuckmycock]

Well said

[@bassfischer4273]

Wonderful production. Thanks for the visibility into the safety crews, the spouses' and siblings' involvement and of course the clips from Lahaina. Aloha from Minnesota.

[@RedBullSurfing]

Of course 🙌

[@garthinflorida5124]

This is less about Kai and more about the crew there. Well done. And then the fire...

[@boundlessbhakti]

And then the fires. Time for the waterworks. This is a powerful video. Mahalo to all involved.

[@brockallen12]

The end gave me goosebumps

[@sianspherica]

That shot at 3:15 is absolutely insane.

[@Twilightsofthespring]

Haiku version: Here it comes. Ohhhh! Kai Lenny! Oh no. Kai down. Oh My God. Oh, gnarly.

[@marymcnamara1995]

Best surfing video ever. Kia you little knight and friends thank you for keeping it real.

[@SamAugust426]

Beautiful video. Truly a glimpse into many of the most interesting aspects of what it is to be a human; push the limits of nature, community, and overcoming tragedy. Rest in peace to those lost in the fires.

[@Onefractalsparkofcreation]

That was the greatest story I've ever watched and seen and listend to and heard . Thank you

[@jia9907]

[@buyachakaa6282]

Incredible video... so much respect for all of you guys

[@markdunham744]

What a brilliant description of the feeling and power of that ride and wave.

[@lymanmj]

4:32 What that kid thinkin'. Holy spit. Marvelous! 🔥

[@necpluzu]

I have never surfed in my life but I find this sport fascinating and through Kai Lenny's videos I discovered the discipline of big waves tu surfing. Kai Lenny is an inspiring person and I wish him the success he deserves, God bless !

[@rockymtnsquid4537]

Awesome video with those spectacular crazy waves. The new generation of surfers is truly amazing. As far as the tragedy goes in Lahaina, I extend my condolences to the great people of that region. Even though this is not the best forum to discuss this, anybody who is aware of the misdeeds of the US government will know that the Lahaina fires were not natural, they were man made.

[@mymatte]

oh boy, i've never cried watching a surf video before... ❤️

[@p3rpNZ]

Love the Aina. Big-Wave Surfers are very Heartful.

[@tukinfoods5111]

Awesome video! Respect to all!

[@GizzyDillespee]

Earlier today, I was just wondering if it was possible for someone to foil like this, and then YT shows this video from a couple of days ago. Yeesh, that's astounding... the stuff he does on a foil, on the giant waves!

[@GizzyDillespee]

Everything, the amazing surfing, great human interest, charity work, and showing all those spectacular falls, and the safety crew spotlight... great video all around.

[@EverythingWavy]

Unbelievably RADICAL! 🙌

[@CastleMc]

That opening wave....beyond wow

[@kkinhi1]

Congratulations on this video. You scared me to death and then you broke my heart. out of words.

[@conorlinehan4434]

Last few times I see Billy Kemper he gets sent to the underworld.

[@roobysoho]

Is there enough room in the Pacific Ocean for Kai and Billy's massive nuts?

[@NubiaZamora-vb3ry]

Carajo,que grandeza de ondas y los chicos unicos en montarlas. El vidio estupendo. Mis condolencias por los afectados en esta trajedia. I

[@stereothrilla8374]

Whenever I go surfing I always forget to bring my helicopter to relaunch my ski after it gets beached on the rocks. Come to think about it, I’ve been forgetting my drone operator, spotter, personal paramedic, second jet ski and surfboard wrangler as well. Maybe that’s why I keep going over the falls.😂😂😂 Jokes aside though, you are all legends and I am sorry for your losses.

[@GettheFouttahere74]

Just a thought.. when a surfer goes down after fall, how about having a “tracker device” on the surfer’s body, perhaps connected to the drone above them?

[@isabellejaubert-fried1622]

To be an athlete and to push the edge you have to train. I absolutely detest the gym and the pool but I swim miles and I go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week because I’m gonna swim with whale sharks and I’m gonna go snowboard and I’m going surfing tomorrow. My daughter can hold her breath for minutes because she is a warrior of the sea, and just as good with the bow and arrow. We inspire each each other. Kai, you are such an inspiration because we are as strong as we want to be given our circumstance we push and push until we’re 6 foot under and I’m smiling at you

[@terrysims9439]

[@LeoandCleotheHuskies]

What break is this in Fiji?

[@christiaanphleger1609]

I think that's a fade to Barrell Roll

[@valdemarclement8521]

Hey i have Been surfing a 7ft foam board, i am 5 foot 7 inches and is pretty new to surfing, would a 6,4 shortboard be a choice? If you maybe have some board suggestions i would love to hear Them, but not too expensive🙏

[@mariahsmith5751]

Is there a women’s Redbull Big wave surf training camp?????

[@TranceMountainbiker]

what kind of surfboard is that 5:32

[@WiiSpords]

I’m sorry did that lad just do a backflip up the wall?

[@fhaoufgbfgbao3251]

Yes

[@thlee3]

16:14 does kai pay for the crew every session? or do they work for the state?

[@Sean85Laney]

Crazy life

[@mattjones4581]

17+minutes in. Thank You. But monsters did this

[@baddonecrew3258]

BIG WAVES ! BIG PEOPLE !

[@AustinD1993]

This was an awesome video. Insane Surfing. 🌊🌊🏄🌊🌊 What an amazing community. This is why I fight for combating Climate Change. So that We dont have to continue to watch community's get wiped out by natural disasters of increasing size year after year.

[@OakLeafs30]

“Went to jaws and got pounded 3 or 4 times” pause

[@michaelfarar4232]

Kai is the 1st surfer 🏄 to tell you that Yes holing your breath drills and being a physical speciman is crucial when surfing giant waves. But MORE IMPORTANTLY its how you control your mind and the ability to master your fear and not panic. I sure dont have it. Triple o.h. was the biggest i s😮urfed living in so cal. Back in the day 35' Waimea was the proving ground Today, my goodness. In another 40 years will 200 ft waves be surfed 🏄 ???????

[@apetekotoinayausadavopit5089]

best waters watch

[@okiekeith]

Man, living here on Big Island. It would be so cool if my mommy had a pool too that I could practice holding my breath in. Money does a lot

[@docwill184]

What are costs for rescue operations--helos, jet-skis, personnel, training--and who's paying? And what insurance do these guys carry for ambulance, hospitalization? Red Bull covering all of THAT? Must be hella expensive.

[@chrisculley3756]

Geez man that's got to be just crazy going over the falls on something that big. It's just got to be absolutely insane. RLTW 3/75

[@anthonyjohnson100]

101 people lost to that fire💔

[@tylerstamps2786]

I think Kai is my new favorite athlete… can we be best friends and stuff?

[@KOBILOSAMZAIN]

he looks like Joe Rogan

[@TheGreature]

😂

[@user-vo8qu3lb7q]

Was that 7 of his personal hires watching Kai according to his father?

[@williamparker6649]

[@user-jo5sh9gr3t]

[@davidnelson2951]

A nobody who has actually been out in the ocean riding these Hughe waves respects it period.

[@ryanbax6023]

Should I use bigger straps or bigger balls

[@radge6579]

Tears of the upper class

[@Brett.1984]

All that nonsense aside, that is one of the coolest jobs on the planet. Getting paid to do that is a dream.

[@grimsadventures-bikesnpetr7913]

Easy when strapped in

[@mongooseelixer]

Respectfully has anyone caught a big wave with a big board. kai if you want to up your game you have to change the game. ride not a gun made for big waves, but a 20+ foot board no one seen before. I think that would look 10x cooler. Seeing the small board skipping drawing lines, it looks kinda eh, the short board lines are getting repetitive. Id like to see big wave surfers charge with new longer boards, the surf community never seen that yet. hawaiians had a name for these boards, the o'o, but give it a modern design, and some solid fins and boom, surfing history.

[@longblacktrain411]

Ohana

[@jeffg4686]

That's all fine and good. But, can he sing Borderline (Madonna)? @4:07 - no, he made it - NO - he didn't That foil wave wasn 't that big. This is the beginning of their life as an actor. Something in the way you love me won't let me be I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free Stop playing with my heart Finish what you start When you make my love come down If you want me let me know Baby let it show Honey don't you fool around Just try to understand, I've given all I can 'Cause you got the best of me Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Keep on pushing me baby Don't you know you drive me crazy You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me When you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can't see But then you let me down When I look around, baby you just can't be found Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay There's something I just got to say Just try to understand, I've given all I can 'Cause you got the best of me Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Keep on pushing me baby Don't you know you drive me crazy You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Look what your love has done to me Come on baby set me free You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline You cause me so much pain, I think I'm going insane What does it take to make you see? You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Keep pushing me, keep pushing me, keep pushing my love Come on baby, Come on darling, yeah - - and don't forget to bring Burkhart in on this. we need some truly burly guys up on stage...

[@OldManPaxusYT]

4:30 if THAT is a 15 yr old KID, i disagree with EVERTYHING they all said! When i was out at Margaret River, aged 14, and found all weathered watermen in their late 20s, 30s and up out there and the waves were HUGE, i KNEW i shouldn't be out there! It's TOO DANGEROUS and KIDS shouldn't be out there! Of course u _want_ to, as a kid but it's like getting tatoos, you don't have the adult _brain_ development to MAKE THOSE DECISIONS yet!

[@user-oh2vk8ss2w]

Lahaina was burnt by a d8rect energy weapon,not a conspiracy, a FACT.R.I.P

[@taoismishity]

Why do conspiracies need a far fetched weaponised fire with no proof? Rather than understand that nature is a powerful force unto itself with plenty of proof?

[@PedroCapelLaloni]

Second

[@themythicllama2841]

First

[@lovropaic3978]

I've read "Kai Lenny vs Jews" ... 🤦‍♂

[@markdittbenner9949]

Lahaina's past is gross..and wrong it was a whaleing town with hundreds of ships that would go out and slaughter whales.. beautiful creatures with feelings...that's just wrong period it was a slaughtertown....KARMA is real...

[@matthewj9832]

Just the title alone summarizes why I don’t enjoy following Kai. You respect the ocean you don’t conquer it…. Plus chophops with straps before the wave breaks is boring

[@AustinD1993]

Did u even watch the whole video. How can u hate on this Video?

[@wynandsijben338]

Lol, I'm sure your life is far more exciting compared to Kai.

[@mattbellina5485]

Lmao! Kai freaking surfs on a level ten times over anyone else.

[@MrGogogordo]

And what have you done on a wave lately?🤡

[@kahalawhat]

What do you enjoy then?

[@chrislee805]

but didn't really get barreld bro... just doing cheap tricks on the shoulder? come shipsterns... fluffy tonga... do that trick?
