The video began with a disclaimer that read- “No Horses were harmed in the making of this video. However, Kai may need a shoulder replacement lol.” Further, Lenny explained the process saying, “A tow rope gonna put it on the horse and the horse is gonna Gallop down the beach and I’m gonna hold on to the Rope.” In the beginning, it almost seemed like his arm was going to fall out of its socket until he found his balance and started riding like a pro.
The Maui-born was quite nervous despite his surfing triumphs, maybe it was the horsepower he added that caused him to sweat a little. While a jetski can accelerate up to 310 HP, Lenny held onto a connected rope with two horses, each pulling with an impressive 200 horsepower. His myriad daring pursuits are admired by his social media fans, who frequently take pleasure in the performances. Do you recognize the well-known surfer from Hawaii who travels for leisure while his many surfing awards lie at home in Hawaii?
