Kai Lenny is usually a very happy guy, be it while surfing big waves or performing any of his other crazy stunts. But when it comes to massive wildfires and people in need, he gets a little offbeat. He has shown his anger towards how there was no sufficient help for the people in Hawaii.

She appreciated the surfer on her Instagram story. Vonn posted a reel on her story in which Lenny was talking about Hawaii’s condition and how he and the people affected handled the situation on their own. Vonn expressed, “This is amazing. Incredible leadership taking action to help your community. I hope help arrives soon.”

The renowned surfer is not happy with the government’s involvement, as no help arrived. This deadly wildfire in Hawaii has killed over 100 people and has been the reason why thousands of people were evacuated. It is one of the deadliest U.S. wildfires in more than a century. This fire occurred because of the amalgamation of land and atmospheric conditions that have the ability to create fire weather. Kai Lenny was very concerned by the situation, as he was receiving continuous calls for help.
No government help was provided initially, and this really didn’t sit well with the surfer. He expressed, “We just took it upon ourselves.” He further added, “It was just like day after day. I haven’t seen one state, one county, one federal official at any one of the donation hubs where people are most suffering.”
