I think windsurfing is the most beautiful of all the water sports, the aesthetics, the power, the contact, the touch. The synergy of the rider with the sail and board. And Kai among other greats takes it to the next level. Gold!
I must say that you and Bernd where the two most artistic, elegant, and exciting windsurfers to watch in the Aloha Classic. I do love your interviews with Paul van Bellen - a delightfully genuine and effective endorsement of the joys of windsurfing in waves on the sea!
More greatness from Kai. This video shows just how FUN windsurfing can be. It's amazingly fun to be able to motorize surfing. The feeling of dropping in at those speeds and DRIVE a bottom turn is amazing. With windsurfing, you can drop in way behind the peak/takeoff point, and either slash that lip, or hit it and FLY! There's a section in front of you? No problem, hit it from behind and then POWER around it! Windsurfing on waves, takes very specific conditions, that when it's on, IT'S ON!!! But when it's not on, you go do all that other fun stuff Kai and Ridge love to do. It's just one of the many ways to enjoy what nature has to give. Keep livin the dream, boys! I'm 68 and been there, done that. But boy do I enjoy watching you guys continue on, way beyond what we did! BTW Kai, you're right, John would love windsurfing like this!
...AND, reference your PVB interview, the Taco Bell bit was priceless!!!...plus explaining to John Florence about the existence of sport of "windsurfing". Brilliant.
I’ve never seen turns like this before-this happens when someone at the pinnacle of all watersports breaks down the walls between them. We are truly witnessing history in the making, and it’s a moment that may not come again in our lifetimes. From raising the bar at the Eddie, Jaws, Nazare, and Mavericks to charging WSL events at Sunset, getting barreled on his SUP at Jaws, setting records with foil crossings from Maui to Oahu, and redefining wavesailing at the Aloha-oh, and let’s not forget welcoming his third child along the way, and I can't even follow all the rest of things-Kai is inviting us all to the extraordinary heights of human potential.
The windsurfing in this year's Aloha Classic was outstanding. And the drone footage was world-class excellent. Oh, and I have to mention Kai Flycatcher Katchadourian's coverage and commentary during the contest. Really fun to watch...and feel, if you know the feeling. There's nothing like windsurfing, esp. wave-sailing. I think it's pretty obvious that Kai Lenny is the heir apparent to waterman Laird Hamilton. He excels at all watersports, no question. Stay stoked. Thanks for sharing.
What a talented Rider... the board seems also really amazing... global shape in quad with thin rails Nice job! So many vertical rolls and 360 with so much assurance... 😍
Kay is not from this world, to perform at this level, one of the best in the world, windsurfing, with the amount of sports he does iit's simply insane, legend....
wow, at about 30 seconds in you can see the white caps, I've filmed white caps, and they look much smaller on video. In other words, that's big and what an awesome art!
@3dandyrandy3 ill trade !! I graduated HS in Hawaii. I miss the island life. I was back for 8 days last month. I hated being in town! So crowded. Leave out by Mokule'ia and I could live forever!🤙
@sugewhitejacoby8654 I left south florida broward county in 1987. I would never go back to that chit hole place! Clearwater was a nice place back then. Hawaii eats up all my money.
Dear Kai, the music in the video, at least in the beginning contains swearing. I don't like kids being avoidably exposed to swearing. Please pay a little more attention to your music choices in future. Many thanks.
Nice work. Not sure what the judges were looking at, your scores should have been higher in the semifinals. Great musical choices for this one. Greetings from Mt. Hood🏂🤙

The Sail number says it all: Kai is the worthy Maui heir to Robby!
Best water man ever

The most radical wave sailing ever ! Incredible talent ! Kudos Kai !!!!!

Man,that was beautiful!
So happy Kai still sails. Windsurfing in my opinion reigns over all waterspout. Takes so much time to master.
