He got towed up to 800ft with his kite 🤯🫣 #jesserichman #kitesurfing #lennybros

Ridge Lenny's ocean week includes an unexpectedly airborne detour. Jesse Richman joins the Lenny Bros podcast to recount being towed skyward by a boat, then discovering that coming down was nothing like ordinary kitesurfing.

The title rounds the height to 800 feet; Richman gives the precise figure as 790. Action-camera and drone footage accompany his account of clicking lines, a reserve-parachute setup and the moment he released the tow. Falling changed the airflow through his kite, he explains, leaving him looping and spinning uncontrollably. After landing safely, his reaction was: "Yes, I want to do more of that."

That contrast is part of the conversation in the comments: viewers linger on his willingness to repeat the experience, while one admits initially reading the height as eighty feet. The clip has passed half a million views, making it the most-watched of Ridge's six new uploads.

Back at sea level, Ridge's longer "Surfing the Season Opening Swell at JAWS & HONOLUA BAY! (RAW POV)" offers a different pleasure: turns on uncrowded Jaws walls, followed by a day at the bay. He describes the swell as a chance to shake off the rust, rather than an especially big arrival.

The newer Jaws nightmare clip, which tags Kai Lenny, is attracting views fastest right now, followed by the bodyboarding-air question from Honolua Bay. Across the channel, subscribers grew over the week even though today's viewing pace is below its usual level. Ridge also drew the largest weekly viewing gain in this nearby fitness-and-training group; Elijah Jenkins had another substantial week, while Truett Hanes was quieter.
