- The last time Ma'alaea broke like this was 2005, 17 years ago when I was 13 years old. It was a dream come true to surf this wave that has to be one of the best in the world.

My husband and I are so far removed from the surf world at almost 60 but are stunned and watching every clip we can find! I was born in Waikiki but live in central US now with the garden hose being my closest source of flowing water!
out there right with ya ... great choice of tunes too ... MAHALO
You’re giving this swell the love that it deserves, absolutely epic. Wish I could’ve been there.
Dude, that second take . . . The boot followed by the barrel, cinematography at its finest. And some of the best barrel riding I have ever seen. Some truly amazing surfing and the amount of speed you get is mind-blowing. Thanks for sharing
Awesome to see it from the GoPro POV and now from the shore!! Epic, perfect song to go with it!
A beautiful combination of elements, mother nature, skill, passion, athleticism, art, technology, and more I'm sure.
Thank you Kai! And thank you for not making it all slow motion. What a day for you all! So stoked here in Florida
Such a sick song to accompany a surf clip!! U2
Heck of an edit you did a really good job on that. I'm all worded out describing the footage coming out of Maui the last week like I'm really at a loss for works.. So stoked for you guys.
Great music choice, not often you hear U2 in surf videos. Great shots as well, the speed through the barrels was incredible.
Pumping Ma’alaea, Outta Control! Kai’s Surfing... Total Control. Mahalos to the filmers for capturing these legendary rides and Cariuma for paying for them! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Really digging this footage. Magical place this is. Cheers for sharing.
God Bless America! Amazing wave.
What incredible day!! Macig day!!! Epiccc 10 of 10! What amazing VIDEOO AND THE BEST
Thank you Kia sooo much brother. I don’t know if you knew that this song was in the movie
SURFERS, and it’s just perfect for your style and waterman abilities. Mahalo brother, from Ocean Beach San Diego Ca 🤙🏼
Some of your best wave/surf images you have ever captured. On any of your water tools!
It wouldn’t have been possible with those videographers. ✊🏾
Hope them shoe guys are paying you well. You deserve it. Keep doing what you do. Very inspiring life. Mahalos Kai, your a great role model for everyone.
I was at the Aquarium on Saturday with my wife and 3 kids and I looked out to the water and saw such an amazing wave! There were many surfers and it looked mind blowing. To see these videos after the fact and learn how special the wave was is pretty cool!
Hey John - just spoke with you about this at Mareks bbq. Crazy.
Hi guys, I cooked the drumsticks!.
That was you who cooked the drumsticks?? Gave me food poisoning. I was peeing out of my ass for 3 days
Simply...no words... so beauty, so gnarly, so sick.... congratulations Kai! 🙌🏻
Thank you Kai 🙏 feel like I'm in the barrel with you, nothing short of Amazing 🤯🤙🤙 Strictly positive vibes brother.
WOW....perfect waves and perfect song selection. Love Love Love the early U2 vibe.
If you're not going to show up with your best, don't show up at all....
I like your style Ma laea , long time no see 🤙✌️
Legendary surf session. Great song choice. U2's Out of Control always reminds me of Bill Delaney's "Surfers.: The Movie".
Thank you Kai.......................for the post and the fine edit. Always inspiring to see how a top level pro handles such a classic wave with style.
OMFG one for the ages... he'll remember those waves for the rest of his life.
careful
A month before this you would of never dreamed that this would happen . This is like a bonus extra best day of your life surfing. Ya,? No?. You can tell just by your body posture, when paddling and dripping in you had every intention of making that wave. Nothing was in your way , week, except for a couple drop ins. It's happens. Not ENOUOH clearly to even bother you. Ya? N0?. Your like probly the best waterman ever lived. Who does more? Take the cake bro. And humble at it . Carry yourself like water.
Nice stuff! Great choice of music as well. Love the ole U2…
This was by far the BEST south swell to ever hit Hawaii.
Rusty pipes was going off too. Crazy surf that day. Probably was you that I saw in those stand up barrels.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing bradda Kai
I would kill for another swell like that this summer! Really bummed I never made it out there last July.
Absolutely incredible edit and video! So glad you put this edit together. All the different angles and shots really helped capture how amazing it was 🤙
All time footage. Cheers, Kai!
Beautiful surfing Kai!! Sick waves too
Mind blowing how many Epic waves you caught in the middle of that hungry crowded lineup.... just one of your waves would be a wave of a lifetime for us mortals
Good job Kai and Team. Loved the closing footage
Cheeee!! Loved the POV from your earlier post and this one you gave Ma’alaea the Aloha it deserves!! Shaka out to you Kai from Kona!!🤙🏾🤙🏾
Really enjoyed that.
Thank you.
Reminded me of June '88 swell.
I made a vid of it called
Ma'alaea Burns......
Sick wave and sick tunes! Thanks man!
I LOVE THE SURF SO MUCH!!!!!
Absolutely state of the art!
Wild stuff! Was crazy watching you surf at Puamana!
One of the best all time edits. Reminds me of a scene in “Blazing Boards” of an epic swell at Kirra with “Don’t Change” by INXS. One of the things that most inspired me to surf.
Love it!!!
This footage is A+++++..absolutely sik
Smokin!! 🚄
BEAUTIFUL surfing Kai, what a swell! 2022
What a star! I had no idea you had the camera in your mouth for the other video! Freakin' amazing! Great filming and editing, too, I just gotta say. And I like the song. The only surfer I know died about 2 weeks ago, I'd have loved to have shown these to him (he was ancient and ready to go, it wasn't a loss, he was ready.) Though it might have killed him with excitement, ya never know. I hope you get many more legendary days of waves!
The surfing, the editing, AND song choice are 🔥🔥🔥
absolutly epic! I left maui on the 9th! would of been amazing to witness such a rare swell.
Best ever!
The perfect video for a Friday morning! Dreaming of going to Hawaii again...
Nice! It would be great to see a bit of the back story - where is freight trains, when does it crank, why did it crank, what was so different…
Also what size board were you riding on the day?
Amazing 🤙
I didn't even read the description and I instantly knew that it was Kai. I think that has to be the best compliment that any artist, musician or surfer can get. Kai is like Picasso, the board is his brush and the wave is his canvas. LOL!! That sounds so cheesey but it's very accurate..
wave @1:26 was amazing! I want to see that guy's gopro. He got a ton of good ones.
Very cool edit and music choice. Good on ya
two thumbs up !!! mahalos !!!
Love his nonchalant yet dominant style and knack for finding a line
You were ripping Kai !! Guess those two guys at 1:05 didn't think you were gonna make it.
majestic
Wow 🤯
At some point I thought he had permanently moved into the barrel like it was his new home. Crazy video.
And I thought Napili bay was going off hahahah (here on vacation from LA). Was really cool to be here when there was such historic surf.
So frickin sick!! Man you got so much vision. Howz all those drop-in's by the boog's. At least you got all those other drainers with no interference!!
Awesome edit!
Ridiculously good!
It's Good to be Kai😎🤙🏼
Wow hard to believe these waves at this location ! Crazy!
Congrats, that's one for the memory banks.
Such a burly day! Killer edit too dude 🤙🏽
Nice okole 🤙0:07
Boards looks perfect out there.
Legend 🤙
thanks for that air drop, sweet!
Looks chaotic. Well done.
This clip and music make just wanna go chase the Swell.
Kai, love your music choice for that video!!! I have no idea how you swung that? Back in the day when diamond Head was huge the song by The Cult "Full Tilt" is what played over my head.
Fuego
Wow!!
Siiiiiiiiick video
Great edit! I'm kicking my self for not stoping by the harbor last week. I'm a professional drone pilot and completely missed out on getting some killer shots!
.....WOW!
Freight Trains indeed!!!
Killer!
You and Ian Walsh surf this wave better then anyone
Yeah Boi ✌
OH MY!
Its like a videogame wave
old school U2 was a nice touch
Firing 🔥
Such an Insane day!!
Back in the day… a rumour a picture and just whisper… Different.
I was driving through the area towards Kaanapali and was wondering what all the traffic was. Backed up all the way before the Harbor exits. Wish I could've stopped by, wifey was in a mad hurry to lunch at Leodas damm
😍
Wow
Best swell in 17 years... There's actually been swells as good as this one before. I've ridden it twice myself like this. But it's definitely been a while.
Only remember it getting this good twice before this swell in 2005 code red Tahiti swell and in 91 when mike Stewart chased the swell from Tahiti to Freights to the wedge then to Alaska. We’ve gotten swells and it got good but none like this caliber it was so consistent and bombing was insane everywhere was bombing I don’t think it was like this when you surfed it sorry bruddah!!!
Friggin A for Awesome
Kai, the finest big wave free surfer on the planet. Who were those kooks who dropped in on the great man?
I trust that they were punished
EPIC!!@#$if you're that good. HOW MANY WAVES DID THAT GUY GET??? Must've been sitting waaay outside. Backyard?
You know you got a good one when a boogie boarder snakes you. Maybe best thing to do is, smack him on the butt and say "alright yeah! I got a good one!" He will look back at you behind him and say "yeah that was great! Good job man! I'm stoked for you!"
