Kai Lenny and Friends at Foilsurfing Ho'okipa

You never know who or what you will see when you swing by Ho'okipa Beach. After work Cristina and I swung by the beach before heading to Cross country practice in Kihei. To our surprise we saw Kai Lenny, one of the most talented waterman, hanging out with some of his friends. The surf was small, with one or two surfers out in front of the southern lifeguard station.

The crew had their foilboards for the small action of one to two feet. Foil boarding is a growing water sport on the island with Kai leading the way. He has been doing it for a while and may be one of the more experienced foilboarder over the water.

We had some free time to we stopped and watch the whole crew fly above water on some very small boards. Kai's board looked more like a bodyboard then a surfboard. His ability to "pump" back out looks pretty surreal. Seeing someone ride into surf takes some time for my brain to accept. After only about 30 minutes the lifeguards called the guys in. The boys had to take a break since an eight foot shark was close by.

Despite the danger the crew was all smile and ready for more action. This is a sport that I am getting into and always use these occasions to see what some of the best in the sport are doing. We have also watched Kai surf monster waves at Jaws. Soon I will be publishing a video of him doing some amazing kiteboarding stunts. Below is a video of the Kai Lenny at Jaws.
