  • 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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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..

      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!!!

    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!"
