Onshore winds brought some chunky conditions to Jaws. But this does not stop Kai Lenny getting some incredible airs and barrels, at this most respected big wave location! The safety jet ski gets pounded on the rocks during this crazy session but everyone made it safe back to shore. this is just another day at the office for these guys!
One of my all time favourite surfers and watermen Kai Lenny rips hard on SUP, windsurfer, hydrofoil or a shortboard, in fact the list just goes on - there is no watercraft I can think of that Kai does not excel at! Kai regularly surfs with and is tutored by one of the greatest big wave surfers of all time: Laird Hamilton, so has learnt from the best.
In this session Kai is using an extremely shortboard for such conditions. This allows him to turn faster and pull more radical manoeuvres, such as aerials (A surfing manoeuvre in which a surfer launches into the air off the top of the wave getting air born. A number of tricks and moves can be done in the air such as grabbing the rail of the surfboard or rotating 180 or 360 degrees etc). Such radical moves are seldom if ever attempted at Jaws!
