Growing up on Maui surrounded by the world’s best watermen might have shaped him, but Kai Lenny is now taking it to the next level with one goal in mind: to be the best big wave rider in the world.

Kai Lenny competes against the world’s best big wave surfers in the WSL Big Wave World Tour event at his home break of Peahi (Jaws) in Maui – an event he’s tried to win multiple times.

Kai Lenny travels to the Portuguese fishing village of Nazaré to train with Brazilian big wave charger Lucas 'Chumbo' Chianca – his partner in the upcoming Big Wave World Tour tow-surfing event.

Kai Lenny competes in the Gigantes de Nazaré contest in Portugal before jetting home to Maui – just in time to catch the best day at Peahi (Jaws) in recent memory.

The Big Wave World Tour tow surfing event is on at Nazaré. Partnered with Lucas 'Chumbo' Chianca as the Young Bulls, this is Kai Lenny‘s last chance to get a win this winter.
