KAI LENNY

Kai Lenny is a professional big-wave surfer and one of the most respected watermen on the planet. He’s mastered stand-up paddling, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and foiling—pushing the limits of what’s possible on waves of consequence. Over the course of his career, he’s won the SUP Race World Championship, the KSP Kiting World Championship, the Sunset Beach SUP Pro, and the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge. After the devastating fires in Maui in 2023, he founded the Positively Kai Foundation to help assist residents affected by the fires. So how did he strike up a friendship with one of the richest and most polarizing tech figures in the world? And what aspect of Mark Zuckerberg surprised him the most? We’ll find out as we sit down for a chat with one of the most esteemed and multi-talented athletes in the world of extreme sports. His list of sponsors includes:  Red Bull, Nike, Hurley, GoPro, and TAG Heuer. Have any comments, feedback or suggestions for upcoming guests? We'd love to hear from you.
