Kai Lenny knows what it’s like to be scared. He also knows how to harness that fear into great performances the world over. Still, nothing drives fear into those who choose to ride oversized waves like Maverick’s. And in reality, there’s a whole lot of “terror” behind the scenes when you’re surfing there as the run-up to big swells can test the nerves of any human.
In his latest vlog, Lenny documents himself, his brother Ridge, and Ian Walsh as they travel to Half Moon Bay, Calif. from Maui to catch a Maverick’s swell. Getting there is half the battle. That’s before you throw yourself over the edge.
