The Inertia

Kai Lenny is built a little differently than most. “Big waves” to the rest of us are a walk in the park for him. He surfs the biggest waves on the planet, and he surfs them like the rest of us surf a chest-high day. His life revolves around hunting them, and he’s got an extraordinary rate of makes. He’s one of the best — if not the best — on some of the scariest waves in the world, and the video above is proof. It’s just four minutes of raw footage showing Kai doing what Kai does best: surfing absolutely enormous waves with that weird sense of ease that puts him at the top of the pecking order in just about any lineup on Earth.
