When Lahaina experienced the most severe natural disaster in recent American history, Kai Lenny along with the Jaws Water Safety crew spearheaded efforts to collect and deliver food, water and other supplies via jet ski due to blocked roads. Many others from Maui provided shelter, served meals and rendered aid.

The Maui Surfing Community has won the 2024 Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian ESPY Award, an honor that recognizes athletes and sports figures who are using the power of sports to make a difference in communities across the globe. According to Kai, the recognition shines light on the Aloha Spirit and the Hawaii way of life.

“When you're trying to help other people, you're not thinking about yourself or the recognition you might get from it. I just did the best I could to help and so many people on Maui turned up. The award is for the entire Maui community because everyone dropped what they were doing and turned up.”

“With the aloha spirit you're not necessarily thinking of the future or the past, you're just living in the moment. When you live that way It's easy to do the right thing. The right thing in this situation was to turn up for your neighbors, turn up for your friends, family, and try to be there when it's the most critical moments of people's lives. At the end of the day, if you just let the Aloha spirit guide you you'll always be making the right decision.”

Watch now to witness Kai Lenny and the Maui Surf Community's remarkable relief response when it mattered most for Lahaina.
