This Is Kai Lenny Kite Surfing Montana’s Yellowstone River

It doesn’t look all that easy.

This is Kai Lenny, trying to kitesurf on the Yellowstone River in Montana, and not having a whole lot of luck, as you can tell. He gets flushed down the river, attached to his kite (always a scary thing to be attached to anything in a river), the wind dies and he runs into horrible weather. “It was like juggling while standing on a bowling ball covered in Vaseline rolling down a tightrope,” he said. But Lenny doesn’t let that stop him. Because his toy quiver is full. Instead, he busts out the SUP, the shortboard and a number of other toys, to enjoy some Montana whitewater in a completely different way.
