Big Wave Surfer Kai Lenny Enters Two-Man Surf Contest on Maui

Lenny explained in the caption above:

"An impromptu surf heat with my friend Cody Young at Hookipa. 

"He’s a great sparring partner because he is a contest machine and an Olympic hopeful for Canada. 

"We had no plans of this, just saw each other at the beach and challenged ourselves to a 25-minute heat."

As the vlog opens, Lenny and Young are hashing out the rules for the two-man heat they've just challenged each other to at Ho'okipa Beach on Maui.

"You can ride whatever you want, we're doing a real heat, I mean I don't even care," Lenny tells Young. 

From there, the heat goes off in fun, slightly windy overhead surf. 

For about six minutes, both guys ride shortboards, boost airs, and pull into a few barrels.

In the end, the jury's in. 

Young says, "Kai Smoked me."

But he shrugs the loss off, saying:

"It's a little different approach than what I'm used to but it's all good. That's real life, it's not always sunshine and rainbows and high scores. Sometimes you fall on every wave."
