JIMMIE HEPP “I see a board coming down the face of this humongous tow-in one day at Peahi [Jaws], but there is no jetski accompanying the surfer…and WHAT is that in his hand? I zoom my lens in from my perch atop the cliff: OMG that's Kai Lenny on his sup board!
“The now two-time Standup World Tour champ is taking on a monster wave! Kai and his gear look pretty out of place right now. But I guess when you've done just about everything else on a sup, you might as well try something that hasn't been done before—and you may as well do it right! Hell, it'll look good on his resume, right? And he coasted through it like he was on flatwater! What a Champ: the Ultimate Waterman—and he's only 19.” -Jimmy
