At just 30 years of age and the youngest person ever elected to the Surfing Hall of Fame, Kai Lenny is perhaps the truest distillation of the term, “waterman.” Be it kiteboarding, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, big wave surfing, or anything else in the water, the oceanic titan does it at the highest degree.

“Growing up on Maui, all I ever wanted to do was be in the ocean. It was the one place I felt most connected, particularly in big waves. As I grew, I wanted to expand that connection, so I tried as many different disciplines on the ocean as I could. The Life of Kai series represents me chasing that connection around the world,” says Lenny.

With invigorated hyper-focus fueled by his recent marriage and arrival of newborn twins, Kai has big plans in motion for upcoming Life of Kai episodes.

“The goal is to perform airborne maneuvers on giant waves and do things that no one’s done yet. And then conditions dependent, I’ll be exploring different types of waves,” says Kai. “You’ll also see new approaches to riding waves and wind too. Finding the next new and exciting thing that can be done in the ocean is what I’m all about!”
