The Foil Session that nearly ended Me

[@thomassawicki2065]

The way you air over sections is very fresh and functional, I have'nt seen that before. The way you kicked out and then pumped out and met the next wave and seamlessly rode that one was terrific.

[@doobieblaze1628]

Best videos and music choices always! Stay safe out there Legend✌️❤️

[@richardelliott8352]

that was very nice music

[@vincentaa7825]

The ocean will always remind you who's the real boss!

[@mattbellina5485]

Very thankful you’re ok and it wasn’t worse. Geeesh! Scary stuff

[@daversj]

Foils are a little scary. I sand the tips dull on the my foils when new and if they get worn. Any minute loss in performance is less important than my skin and desire to prevent injury, and I’m tired of getting hurt. Some foils come sharp as a knife which seems unnecessarily dangerous. That spot looks epic for foiling.

[@hristianignev9188]

I like how it goes straight to riding with no commentary and amazing shots.

[@ryanstewart1521]

Going to be a cool looking scar, girls will dig it!

[@jjouh]

light impact vest maybe?

[@smotruns]

and helmet with grille

[@PatrickYT78]

These athletes think they are immortal, wearing impact vest and helmet is not so cool. God protects them.

[@cthulu_oldone]

Very nice video and love your contributions to water sports - but taking risks that you can ameliorate. I got a foil slice on the toe, then it got infected underneath. A real PIA to deal with despite so minor an injury... I now foil with helmet and booties despite loving the bare foot feel when windsurfing - and maybe a light vest is a good idea. Still can be quite stylish 😀. A Winger in the Gorge got a real bad foil stab in the leg and would have bled out without some guys fashioning a tourniquet and to his great luck a vascular surgeon was at Hood River Hospital as they do not have a Trauma Centre. Just some thoughts...

[@gloriavillar3143]

I'm so happy you're ok! Damm.. Nevertheless, thanks for this video. It's always a plaiser to see you 💫

[@dmr1997]

Hey man, I race A Cats. Used to race foiling ones. A couple years bad, had a knarly pitch pole. Flew a little while still attached to the trapeze. Came to the end of the trap, stopped, hit the water. Came up with a broken thumb and a ring finger one knuckle shorter. I’m not pro, but I’m competitive in a couple of dinghy classes at a national level. What you gotta realize is you know the water and the craft you’ve learned everything on. The foil equipment is a different deal. You didn’t just have a fall on your board. You had a slow motorcycle accident, with the speeds you go.

[@dmr1997]

Given who you are, and how many people watch you. Let them see you wearing the right gear. I know it’s a drag. But you get used to it quick. Love your content.

[@windfoil1000]

Just how sharp do your trailing edges need to be? Could a small sacrifice in performance make things a lot safer? Mine are dull and I don't notice anything except that they don't cut me easily. I wonder what others find.

[@ferocious_r]

The way hydrodynamics work, a slightly blunt foil edge should actually perform better, not worse. Curious why they sell them knife-edge sharp.

[@doradosurfcharters]

Can't really say leave it to the professionals 😂 That interview with Paul was epic 🫡

[@fuelbasti]

Where is that spot? Looks unreal. One more time.

[@CharDozier]

It's driving me crazy! Who is singing the attached song? It's wonderful! Mahalo!

[@Crispi-ws6ju]

Sounds like Jack Johnson. Great Hawaiian surfer too! He's one of the local Crewe, but world famous singer / songwriter. He's well worth a look into, if you don't know him. Enjoy

[@Crispi-ws6ju]

Soz, I'm talking about the opening tune...

[@stevenospam4216]

The music info is posted up in the Summary "........more"

[@markpyne8354]

As soon as it started I new exactly where you were. Good to see the water angle. Not much in the way of medical attention on that island. First time I saw it on google earth it must have 10 / 12 ft or somthing . It was flawless , non sectioning from the outside all the way to the beach.

[@ugocdf7706]

Care to let me know where it is ....one way or another without giving it away to the masses! It does look really good indeed

[@nickortcoski6769]

Gezzuz, if it happens to you then we're fkd... Such a warrior though, right back out there! Respect.

[@roryrms]

Cold and wet here in Oregon! But I can turn to the Tube and check you all livin the life! Ha! Foil on Kai!

[@andybowes5163]

Helmet? Foils are like riding a shark. Gotta watch out for those teeth! 🦈 🙏 🤠 🏄‍♂️ 🌊

[@ferocious_r]

What will that helmet help you when the foil goes for your jugular

[@andybowes5163]

@ferocious_r if you are unconscious, you're done.

[@ferocious_r]

@@andybowes5163 sure, and you do realize what happens when your jug gets cut, right?

[@patrick03333]

Best foiling I’ve seen Gnarly slice tho!

[@tiesto213]

I was already thinking at 2:35, that looked like a bad one, straight to the foil. glad it didnt do more damage

[@brendan-shanahan]

I thought for sure this was going to be jt!

[@jgblete403]

Hi Kai use a dyneema lycra.very efficient against foil cut . Light and soft in addition.

[@richardelliott8352]

luckily there are effective scar creams. I can enjoy the skill and pleasure demonstrated without the life or death stuff, but I recognize how these young guys pay the bills. enjoyed the pleasurable presentation and hope the cut heals well

[@WobbigongSoundSystem]

Totally worth it💯☝️🏄‍♂️

[@SeniorMoostacho]

Beautiful, it looks really fun. But, you KNOW, you wanna hit that lip and send spray up and all over and see a big slash carved out. Loved it.

[@DiamondRidgeMusic]

So gnarly, glad it was where it was!

[@smotruns]

best style

[@youremostwelcome]

We’ve truly gone full circle with the opening track…

[@boddysurfer]

Talk to Florence Marine and get them to make you a Kevlar rash guard. This is why you should always wear a helmet folks.

[@AdamsHadEnough]

I thought from the footage the foil would've sank before hitting you. I guess that's one good thing about riding heavy foils. Glad you're okay.👍🏼

[@panics_bodysurfer6585]

I love your videos

[@philipprenz]

Where is this Place ? 😍😍 Amazing Content Kai!

[@marinatinshred]

Foil tomahawked me square on the dome awhile ago. Glad I had a helmet on. Got the vest with kevlar too. Product idea...light weight kevlar rash guards and skull caps. Make my gear dreams come true Kai! :) P.s. Best tunes to date.

[@jimmyconway8025]

Dang kai $lasher Lenny! Wave Avenger! Foil man!

[@David-uz9qw]

I tell my friends it's like riding a surfboard on a machete with another machete underneath it

[@astape]

Heart like a lion 🦁

[@Ruslan_Chizhov]

Красавчик ! Молодец )))

[@panics_bodysurfer6585]

yuor videos are the best

[@lance31415]

Aside from that Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?

[@troyfly71]

Foil designers need to make safer tips on these foils. Its a matter of time before it doesn’t end well for someone. The guy in the gorge was lucky not to bleed out.

[@tatougiraglia935]

Gong made some anti cut clothes! Not a bad idea.

[@darrynkushman1]

Kai Lenny you and Ridge have the True Brotherhood

[@manucontreras444]

where is this???

[@GUIDESPERSPECTIVE]

Impact vest and a helmet next time. If it was me I might use full hockey gear.

[@CharlesRamsay-z1p]

All the time and money to burn,,,,keep showing the fruits of your Labor.

[@tamaskojedzinszky1302]

That's one of the reasons I stay on fins.

[@paddleboarddog]

Yikes, glad it wasn't worse.

[@johnskender4386]

[@KevinOules]

We all have had gashes, cuts, ect so as you know wound care is what it's all about in healing. But all a side you were ripping it as usual !....LBCko

[@rachelhexterfried3909]

Wonderful!

[@skobichevskii]

impact vest, helmet, all the way

Ouch!

Yikes! Might need a neck guard (:>0)=/= !!!

[@kauaimano]

Every foil session almost ends me!

[@ironphil62]

👍🍺🏄🏼

[@johnhamlin7055]

Your wetsuit should have a little chest protection and also a partial collar that protects your neck. Be safe bro 🙏

[@Stanton_High]

Cash could teach you.

[@KaiLenny98]

funny, I actually taught him how to foil 😂

[@letsssgooo4618]

Oh ok not nearly as bad as one article made it sound. On the neck that could get serious

[@nefelibatics]

The incident Lenny happens at 5:05 I dunno, maybe leave the jumps and tricks to windsurfing? Foil jumps and flips don't even look so cool and they're way too dangerous with that sword attached to the board...

[@Peakingindo]

is it necessary to put locations. youtuber are the biggest kooks.

[@ugocdf7706]

Hey it's not south LA you are talking about, but one more island in indo ( and a big one too....) I don't see the need for all that secrecy you are asking for...

[@Peakingindo]

@@ugocdf7706 Na its the whole surf vlggers most always just have to drop names of spots or islands etc. shits wack. Keep it roots. I live here in Indo and those spots that used to have hardly any bule there are becoming more busy with euro kooks who think they own the place. Surf world is becoming a joke.

[@zacmitty7851]

The law of diminishing return - look it up. I appreciate you have sponsor commitments, but this foil surfing is pure bull. Admit it. You're a good surfer, great windsurfer/kite surfer- don't spread yourself too thin, Kai, it looks a bit desperate. Being selective demonstrates that you are thinking - you're not a zombie! Foiling ripples and getting slashed, that can't be the future.
