Kai Lenny has taken out the 2017 Puerto Escondido Challenge, in Mexico. The Hawaiian waterman secured his first Big Wave Tour (BWT) victory in near-perfect 20-to-25 foot waves. Lenny won the bronze-rated event with a spectacular barrel in the dying minutes of the final. “I can’t believe it. I am so stoked. It was hard to get waves out there because they were just so shifty, but then the one that I had been waiting for finally came. I did a slow bottom turn, and then I knew I had it,” explained Kai Lenny.
