In a video circulated on Facebook, this famous surfer is smoothly surfing on an enormous wave, which could easily swallow him at any point.

The reactions in the Facebook comments were jaw-dropping.

All of them praised the passion, commitment, and energy level of Kai Lenny, which were all justified. Some did point out the danger of the Jaws waves, and others his fearless attitude towards life. Lenny’s performance at the Eddie was also commendable, despite his rank.

Kai Lenny gave a decent performance at The Eddie just a few days back

The Eddie Aikau competitions took place on 22nd January 2023. Forty surfers from different parts of the world competed and nearly 50,000 spectators thronged Waimea Bay to watch the contest. Kai Lenny ended up in 5th position and Luke Shepardson, a local Oahu lifeguard, bagged the ultimate prize. Shepardson showed signs of winning after he took on a giant wave in his first round. He never slowed down after that. The tournament was making a comeback after 7 years (last in 2016), and so naturally the expectations were huge.

Lenny is a Red Bull athlete, and he often conducts big beach clean-up drives in Hawaii, reinstating his love for the open waters. Victory or not, Kai Lenny shows no signs of slowing down near gigantic waves.
