    This was absolutely brilliant. Now as a contrast, would love to see an interview with the legendary Gerry Lopez.

    Another outstanding podcast! I once met Kai when I lived on Maui and I can say he is super humble and friendly. Just a great human. Keep it up Rich! Keep up the insane surfing Kai!

    Loved the fear section and separating the difference between ego and instinct (gut) fear. Thank you!

  • @immortaljellyfishstudio5181
    @immortaljellyfishstudio5181 Před 10 měsíci +14

    I feel like surface level he seems to just have that simple, laid back, carefree, good vibes only, blissfully naive, air head, west coast, no shoes + no shirt = no worries, surfer dude, one dimensional mentality when in reality he is actually quite a deep thinker.... he just lacks the super pretentious vernacular of a stereotypical philosophically minded intellect. Lol and that's way more radical anyway

    • @joeblow1942
      @joeblow1942 Před 7 měsíci

      Yes, because unlike many intellectuals, Kai is real.

  • @sara505sings
    @sara505sings Před 5 měsíci +1

    I would like to see an interview with his parents. What was family life like, bringing up champion surfers and athletes? What is it like being the mother of somebody who is surfing 80 foot waves? I don’t know if I’d ever sleep again.

  • @roguebossa

    Didn’t know Kai was a goofy foot and Jaws was a left all along 😂

  • @CoolInOlympia

    Wow! These analyses of tricks on a wave with Kai and Tony Hawk would be fascinating!!!!

  • @catmananalyticsguy
    @catmananalyticsguy Před 6 měsíci +1

    Solid stuff and very inspirational, especially for an older/newer surfer who loves all things about the ocean but also see's how it relevant to the business world.

    why is the video on the flip? IE. Kai riding goofy foot. Kai riding goofty foot at Jaws right, but the video is him going left?

  • @scottycartercom
    @scottycartercom Před 9 měsíci +3

    To the non-wave riders that love sports you all just witnessed through this interview what riding waves really is like. There are no referees or guidelines it’s just you your friends and the power of nature. The reward is the beauty of colors light plays on the waters edge. This interview is the perfect example how surfing really isn’t a sport. It’s so much more than a net a ball or stats. It’s a date with nature and pushing the primal instinct to hunt search and score.

  • @kiter9271
    @kiter9271 Před 10 měsíci +3

    Absolutely awesomely awesome. Kai's at peak form (i.e., skills, strength, mindset). How long can he maintain this incredible form? Pro cyclists max 10 y, maybe, for the 3 sigma wonders like Mark Cavendish.

    It's called adrenaline.

  • @SwordAndFern-mw3ke
    @SwordAndFern-mw3ke Před 5 měsíci +1

    Apart from the death aspect of it, the choppy feeling of going over water that fast and clapping over chop isn’t appealing. Kite surfing lost its appeal for that reason, it stops being a flowing smooth thing…not that I could ever ride waves like this, but even at double over head it can feel like slapping your way on top of the water

    In this interview we have opportunity learn how this nobble and great meta-man, a planet saviour, a world saviour, Mark Zuckerberg flies just to surf for one day.
