Kai Lenny: I was like, that is the most surfable wave I've ever seen. Those are black hole waves, dude. Nobody's waiting for your ass to surf that wave. He says we're constantly trying to find other big waves around the world because there can't only be five of these gigantic places where everything sort of lines up.
What is the biggest wave in the solar system? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore the science of big waves with professional big wave surfer Kai Lenny.
