OxBow surfer Kai Lenny took advantage of the BIG south swell in Hawaii this week. He was able to put in a 4 sport session on Maui with kiteboarding, surfing, stand-up paddle surfing, and windsurfing.
OxBow Hawaii shared this blurb from Kai about his 4-in-1 session. Awesome. Video to come soon.
The biggest swell in 15 years rolled in from Tahitit to a challenging reef break off the coast of Maui, and Oxbow team rider Kai Lenny was there to greet it. Performing as the only athlete from Hawaii in the 15-foot mountains of water, Kai took on the challenge of 4 different sports, Stand Up Paddle, Surfing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing, all in a single day. His schedule went as follows:
Stand Up Paddle – 6:30 A.M.
Surf – 8:30 A.M.
Windsurf – 10:30 A.M.
Kitesurf – 12:30 P.M.
“It was such a gift to have the chance to use all of my gear at the same spot and I could have the chance to surf some of the biggest sets of my life during one Summer session,” said the exuberant Lenny.
The break located in Maui is a reasonably exposed reef break that is only rideable once in a while. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. Offshore winds are from the north to northeast. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely while the best swell direction is from the south. It is a left hand reef break.
