Kai Lenny suffered a pretty gnarly injury while surfing Jaws the other day. Below is what he had to say and a few pics. (Warning: Some of the pics are pretty nasty and if you have a weak stomach put some saran wrap over your keyboard.)
I had a few really good wipeouts today, but it was my last wipeout that gave me wound! Basically Air dropped on a set wave at Peahi and once I landed and committed my bottom turn I hit a rib in the face of wave and face planted in the barrel. My fin tomahawked my foot while I was getting sucked over the falls. Once I surfaced I was all the way by the rocks on the inside so besides getting cut I got a good beating as well! That is why its called the ride after the ride!!
Check out the Kaino from Kai Lenny, Its basically a Kono taken to the surf, the clip is from 2009 and was part of ‘The Windsurfing Movie II’. Here’s what Kai had to say recently,
One of my favorite moves to do windsurfing! I call it the Kaino. Its basically a Kono taken to the surf, my dream for this trick is to do it on a big wave this winter!
