Screaming!
Again, the weekend swell that bashed southern facing shores along the Hawaiian Island chain has not disappointed, no not at all. There have been weddings destroyed, two-story condominiums ravaged and mythical waves coming to life.
But had you heard of Maalaea? Freight Trains? The “world’s fastest breaking right?”
I had.
My bank robbing Cousin Dan (buy here), in fact, told me about it during a family reunion on Maui some 30-odd years ago. He pointed out to a harbor near Kihei and said, “That, right there, is the world’s fastest breaking right.”
It wasn’t breaking at the time, though he and my Cousin Mikey tried to surf it. I was back on Maui, a decade or such, later and paddled it myself just to say that I had surfed the world’s fastest breaking right though it was very small.
Not big like the monster barrel of Kai Lenny’s young life.
Whoa.
Robin to Mark Zuckerberg’s Batman is moving as fast as I have ever seen someone move on a surfboard.
Speedy.
But don’t you think that Zuck and Kai should join up to fight crime outside of the metaverse? Zuck with his riches, albeit diminishing, and Lenny with his pluck?

A self absorbed heartless bitch.
Boo on Jenny.
You try devote your life to a mentally inferior lucky desperado and see if you don’t run away to drugs and misadventure.
Ya forgot to put Zuck’s cream face on Forrest
When was the last time this wave was that good? 2005?
But did ya’ll see Billy Kemper get smoked by a discarded lid? Sad.

I was hoping he made the lid section. I wanted to see him hit the wave storm!
Nobody in the parking lot told the wavetormer to stay at home?!?
Would’ve been ideal, I agree.
Looks a bit windy, prefer my cubicle.
Tail pad got so pitted
have seen more exciting pov barrel iykwim…
Could live with never seeing POV barrel footage ever again.
Shirley, the ‘fastest breaking right’ is a close-out?
Ashley, that’s true.
it all depends on your vector, Victor
Ya like movies about gladiators?
I wonder what would happen if someone showed up with a ski and tried to tow it? Laird and Kai? Would they be shunned? Vibed? Ostracized. How far back could they take off?
He wasn’t back far enough. – The Couch Critic
Check the full clip to see the guy he burned who WAS deep enough.
From my couch, it kind of looks like north point
Amazing! Wondering tho if those two swells in the 70’s that hit huge there that those guys, i.e., Sammy Hawk, Reno, Buttons, Fletcher, Kerbox, Owl Chapman, Bay Boi etc. might say and were taking off further back!?
You can’t really make the wave from any deeper than they were. And they were taking off no where near as deep in the seventies on their single fins
All that for 3 seconds of tube time…should have been deeper.
Is he testing out a new spray job for his 2023 quiver? Doesn’t look like a red bull can. A ton of good waves ridden that day not just by Kai. Pretty insane.

Thanks for posting this.
The real story should be the entire day’s sessions, not just Kai’s wave.
That was sick. Epic rides. Thx for posting.
as poison ivy is a climax to a veg eco-system,
Kaiclips on this session are the climax of the wave-riding eco-system…nothing can ease the eye burn…pure poison, scratching my eyes out…and loving it!
