Catty.
News broke, over the evening, that Facebook founder, CEO Mark Zuckerberg had very publicly broken up with erstwhile BFF, big-wave honeypot Kai Lenny. In a relationship tremor no one saw coming, the extreme sport aficionado (Zuckerberg) shared that the new Meta of his eye is none other than UFC debutant Kha “The Shadow” Wu, even sharing pictures of the two in hot pants dancing some erotic dance.
Lenny, initially silent, has responded today with his own vicious snub.
In an interview with Forbes, a magazine for the rich and richer, the Maui-born stud was asked “What athletes have inspired you most as a surfer and outside surfing?”
The answer brutally snarky.
The most inspiration I’ve drawn from athletes from an early age was from the (group of famed surfers known as) the “Strapped Crew”—Laird Hamilton, Buzzy Kerbox, Dave Kalama, Rush Randall, Derek Doerner. They were the first surfers to tow into unrideable waves and broke those barriers and did it in such a cool way.
I always wanted to be a part of that. Plus, competition-wise, I respect and look to Kelly Slater and Robby Naish in their respective fields, surfing and windsurfing.
Outside of surfing I’ve always been impressed with (motorcycle racer) Travis Pastrana. Just his fearlessness and how nice of a person he is, how much he innovated within that. Of course, always thought of Bruce Lee as a hero too.
Zuckerberg clearly inhabits both surfing and outside surfing spaces thus amplifying his omission.
The question now, Zuckerberg’s hole has already been filled by Wu but which multi-billionaire will sweep Lenny off his feet?
More as the story develops.
What…….is this really important to anyone. First off it involves Zuckerberg a waste of oxygen if there ever was one.
Zuckerberg isn’t an athlete, he is a brainiac/techy/billionaire.
Ask Kai which brainiac/techies/billionaires he admires.
And he can do MMA wherever. To foil or SUP he needs to be by the water.
And Palo Alto isn’t really near the water. The bay, but the bay isn’t nice.
A lot of tech people are buying houses in Malibu/Point Dume so they can get water time.
Jeff Bezos is renting Kenny G’s house this summer, and the Google people also have houses in Point Dume.
The ocean is the world’s best “reset button.”
Maybe Zuckerberg will shuck it all and move to Malibu and get some water time.
Hoo hahs on the wall. Just perky and chillin. For the Google world to see. Classic lol
Lenny is soooooo yesterday
Kai got his…and I’m sure he was happy he was able to shake Zuk.
Job done
Kai “pumped and dumped” Lenny
This is not fair on Zuck. He outsources his friendship maintenance decision making to a third party agency. The decision was not his therefore he cannot be blamed and is a good guy and surfer.
Hardly, but thank you. Merely crude and bored.
dr?
my bud is in cabo…

Kai Lenny scratches at Mark Zuckerberg eyes in alarmingly public and bitter cat fight
A double backfist to Zuck’s face! Zuck stated he was a fencer, and Bruce Lee developed Jeet Kung Do out of many of its principles! I would love to watch a death match between Kai and Zuck!
did you read curries’ hebridese? some irish guy…
No, what did I miss
his TSJ entry had no climax like the VH1 Behind The Music series of failed musicians…problems with living in the remote, existentialism, sheep, a pic of a small wave…”a combination of hair of some kind in my coffee cup…”
