Watch: Kai Lenny // Hot dogging Rincon
No towrope. No gun. No sail. No foil.
Kai Lenny shucks all his big wave equipment for fun-sized Rincon. Or almost all of it...
Bet the organisers of the Rincon Classic went looking for the rulebook.

Well that was a wasted minute of my life
Some solid carves and a bit of footstrap (a la' 80's Hynd) progression, pretty sick.
Inzider, perhaps you shouldn't waste any more minutes...
Kai Lenny is more freaky that your profile image. Obviously you surf as well as Kai.
Theres always a hater .... amazing?
A mix of strapped-in/normal surfing - reckon he paddled those waves then put his feet in for the strapped sections? or got towed in?
Supposing he paddled them and then put feet in straps, would that be legit in a comp?
It looks like windsurfing tricks without the sail... Interesting and different. Obviously not traditional, but how long before he lands a monster method out of a barrel at jaws and redefines the game?
Knee or ankle injury waiting to happen you'd think?
I couldn't see the straps at first. Looks pretty sick those airs
Two different boards? Grip / straps on one of them....Edits and close ups deliberately evasive? It'd be pretty hard to slip the foot in on take off. I'm guessing tow ins. Laird was doing this stuff 20 years ago on monsters. Still - kind of impressive. Edit**just had another look (and a read of the lead in). He's wearing a contest singlet, and according to Stu - no tow ropes. Even more impressive.
Ya gotta love a hater that can't count, it was 1.28 of progressive surfing with a hint of old school flair.
Kai rips.
Look you haters
I think Kai is an absolute weapon of a shred lord .
Just didn't like this minute of Gaylord bootstrap airs.
fully sic!
Yup two different boards, looks like no plugs in the opening shot, awesome move that upside down corky carroll roll, no takin that tag its mine........Giddyup
