WATCH: Kai Lenny surfs empty Greenbush switch

He surfs the wave better than most do on their favoured stance.

Kai Lenny continues to prove that he’s capable of anything on any water related type of craft. We’ve seen him do backflips at Nazare, ride different boards at Jaws and his latest trick is packing pumping tubes switch stance.

Kai recently spent some time on a boat trip through the Ments and managed to score uncrowded Greenbush, which is one of the most sort after waves in Indo, while riding each wave switch.

Here’s what he had to say:

“We went straight to Greenbush, it was pumping. We timed it perfect, the swell was picking up. I’ve been wanting to practice going goofy-foot more just to keep it interesting versus just doing my normal stance all the time. Here was an opportunity to be in really good waves getting barreled switch-foot and so the whole time I was just focused on trying to get as barreled as I could before everyone came out and I think it was like four hours later I was joined by a few people. It was like one of the top sessions I’ve ever had in barreling surf. Pinching myself, it was unreal.”

Seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Not that long ago, in an island chain far, far away, seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before. Equipped with an array of surfboards, a packet of crayons and two ukuleles, their chances of success were slim. In pursuit of perfection, they were forced to navigate under the radar of a fleet of imperial boat charters. Despite numerous obstacles, the rebel alliance of wave-riding beatniks continued to make Galactik Tracks into a new surfing cosmos; their search for a Nirvana reaching its climax when they arrived at… The Island of Nowhere.

STARRING: DAVE RASTOVICH

The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home on the Far North Coast of NSW.

Gathering is a short film from independent filmmaker Nathan Oldfield, the creator of the award-winning left of centre surf films Lines From a Poem, Seaworthy and The Heart & The Sea. The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home in the sacred playgrounds of the Far North Coast of New South Wales. The film explores Rastovich’s ideas around how the tension between the industrial and the natural in the surfing world unfolds in that place. Ultimately, Gathering celebrates how diversity and difference in ecosystems, relationships and surfing contribute to the preciousness of life. Gathering is easy on the eyes and ears and Tracks Magazine is proud to present it to you. Nathan Oldfield is a maverick, a filmmaker who wants a surf movie to say something important, to move us and make us grateful for the sea around us and the life within us. His films are quiet, beautiful and brimming with sacred purpose. Tim Winton, Acclaimed Australian Novelist
