Raised by the Ocean, Built for Big Waves| Kai Lenny Keeps It Aloha (Ep. 233)

from Keep it Aloha · host Kamaka Dias

Our guest today is a professional surfer and all-around waterman from the island of Maui. He is widely considered one of the greatest watermen of all time. This athletic freak has spent his life pushing the limits of what humans can do in the ocean. From charging giant waves at Jaws and Nazaré, to helping pioneer modern hydrofoiling, to competing at the highest levels of stand-up paddling, kitesurfing, windsurfing, tow surfing, and big-wave surfing…there may not be another athlete on Earth as versatile in the water as this man.He is an 8-time SUP World Champion, winner of the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge, former WSL Big Wave Performer of the Year, and the youngest person ever inducted into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame. He’s surfed some of the biggest waves ever ridden, inspired an entire generation of ocean athletes, and helped redefine what’s possible across multiple water sports. He is also the star and producer of the upcoming feature film Kai. In this episode we talk story about growing up on Maui, being in the water at an early age, trying many different water-sports, riding big waves, his new film “Kai” coming out this summer, his mindset, lifestyle, family, and so much more.
