The Inertia

The Lenny brothers grew up with big waves thundering in their ears. It makes sense, then, that Kai and Ridge would become some of the best big wave surfers in the world, especially when it comes to surfing Jaws. In the conversation you see here, they delve into just about everything there is to delve into when it comes to chatting about big waves.

It’s the sixth installment of their joint venture, Lenny Bros. Kai, as you know, is a multi-disciplinary champion, and Ridge is quietly one of the best watermen in the business. The hour-long chat here is a mix of history, lore, and personal anecdotes from a life full of riding huge waves.

“In this conversation, Kai and Ridge delve into the history of windsurfing at Jaws, exploring the early days when windsurfers were the first to ride the infamous spot,” the description reads. “They share the lore of the pioneers who braved the elements without modern safety measures, reflecting on the risks and challenges they faced. The discussion highlights the evolution of surfing techniques, the camaraderie within the surfing community, and the importance of safety and responsibility in extreme sports.”
