Video: Big Wave Surfer Kai Lenny Races a Plane Between Hawaiian Islands

Lenny captioned his latest vlog above:

"The Ultimate Race to See What's Faster to Travel Between the Hawaiian Islands - FOIL vs Plane

"FOIL vs COMMERCIAL AIR TRAVEL Obviously flying is faster but with the airport security and lag time in between can a FOIL actually WIN?"

Opening the video, Lenny says he's foiling in the Moloka’i 2 O’ahu Paddleboard World Championships.

"It's gonna be insane," he says. "I can't wait, conditions are looking epic."

But for a competition fiend like Lenny, the 32-mile race isn't enough and he's added a twist that involves his friend and filmer, Marc Chambers.

"Kai said, 'I have a great idea. And every time he says that I sweat a little bit," Chambers says. 

The idea? He's decided to race airborne Chambers too. 

While Lenny foils from Moloka'i to Oahu across the Ka'iwi Channel—one of the roughest sections of the ocean in the world with depths of 2,300 feet—Chambers will race him to the finish line via commercial airplane, a McLaren sports car, and an Audi.
