    Kai is so great natured, positive / upbeat, funny and just a decent human being - it makes him fun to watch and listen to. And of course there’s the killer surfing 🏄‍♂️. He’s in it for the right reasons - the love of the sport, love of the ocean (and not just for notoriety like some surfers). All this makes always fun to watch.

    That was nice to have the breakdown of the wipeout, it puts you in perspective of the crazy craziness of big wave riding.
    Imagine getting wiped out like that once in the day & still feeling like you wanna go back out there. It takes someone REAL passionate & dedicated to still ride after that. Those athletes are incredible. Let's go Kai !!

    To be honest for me is Nazare the Collosseum of big wave surfing, one of the ultimate places! The wave Kai surfed there and how he did it left me sitting with my jaw open! The waves are unique there! And scary as hell!!!! Hope to see Kai more at Nazare!!! This place is mystical...... 🌊👌🌊👌🌊👌🌊👌With scary I also mean the thought that 500.000 tons of water chasing you.... Just wow! These waves look gigantic already on my screen, imagine riding these big Daddys 🌊🐴😳😳😳😳AND.... what I really love about Kai is his crazyness but he is a very humble and super sympathic guy at the same time! 😍👍🏽
