Hawaii's Kai Lenny not only seems to be able to do it all when it comes to water, but he manages to do it all to a world class  level. His ascent to major sporting success has been nothing short of meteoric and he's already proved himself as one of the greatest watermen the world has ever known. Renowned for his smooth and efficient paddling style, he continues to push boundaries and ride some of the biggest waves ever surfed.

His technical prowess has led to the flood of astonishing achievements, including becoming the first person to win world titles in three distinct disciplines: surfing, wind foiling and SUP. No wonder he became the youngest person ever to be inducted into the Surfer's Hall of Fame in 2019, at just age 26.
