This is the Event I've Always Wanted to Win - The Aloha Classic 2022

Since I was I kid I have always wanted to win the Aloha Classic. For my entire lifetime this was the event that decided the world champion for Windsurfing. Growing up sailing Hookipa, my home spot, it would mean the world to be on the top of the podium. These are the heats that took me to the final to go for it all!
Huge thanks to the IWT and everyone who made this event possible.

Great riding Kai, you were ripping! It's so cool to see you sharing the stoke for windsurfing and it was fun to compete against you 🔥 Looking forward to seeing you windsurfing more and doing the whole IWT tour maybe! 🤙💯

Kai, I saw you in the Gorge with your Dad in 2006. It was insane and humbling to see what you were capable of at that age. Thank you SO MUCH for putting your stamp on wavesailing. Much respect. 🙏

[@alexdugan4467]

Undisputed spray of the day champion 🏆🤙🏻

[@mikeholman9544]

You ripped it! Your moving up the podium! I liked the surfing style that you were doing. The straight airs and wiping turns!🤙🏄‍♂️🥜

[@Streetsailing]

I think you could win this thing. Just start hitting it more. There's no reason to believe you can't.

[@MakaiMauka]

Cover photo of this video is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Spectacular!!!

[@TheOceancalling]

the best cut backs I've seen out there, this is the plus you have as a surfer, it is a pleasure to see you sailing waves!

[@adambriggs6284]

A classic performance and #1 Aloha Island Style. Well done !

[@richoux212]

Awesome!

[@2richants]

Nice. As they say, spin to win. Not far behind them and in bigger surf, you would definitely give them a run.

[@jmo2640]

You are a special human Kai..the definition of waterman!

[@snowalewine4602]

[@ploweddog424]

Hey man, your my favorite waterman and have been my inspiration for so long

[@willslever8112]

Good work Kai !

[@johnmartinsen963]

Great job Kai! It's always exciting seeing you out on the water because it usually means the conditions are good. Too bad we didn't get a better swell for the event...these aren't the conditions that you practice in, but ripping anyway. Some day you need to tell me about your Montana kiting trips. Alohas 🤙

[@kevinwells4986]

Congrats Kai. Two more spots to rise to. You have so many activities, it's amazing that you can be so good in all of them.

[@scottburrow8717]

[@htorrens1]

I tried windsurfing once. Took lessons at a place in Mission Bay. Did really well on land during the lessons. best guy in the class. Then went out to Mission Bay. Got stuck in the middle and had to paddle myself back to shore. Board weighed 50 pounds. I hated it. Never went again.

[@Dabullizer]

Good job, Kai. 🤙

[@kawikadee9670]

@@KaiLenny98 Oh yeah the 3rd one. Well, you still did great congratulations, and you're still my favorite surfer 🤙🏽

[@ptrett]

Quite hard to find any coverage of the event so thank you so much for putting these clips together. You talk about trying out new gear, as you make it look so easy I would love to see a video on this. Your loose style on the water is inspirational and I love it that you go for the big moves, third is awesome but for sure you can win this next year. Aloha
