The best surfers that have won the most championships are the Kelly Slater's of our sport. He almost looks like people think from the land that he's willing the ocean, bending the ocean to his will. And then all of a sudden he'll get the 10-point ride and he'll win the World Championship. It probably has happened to him seven of those world titles. That's how he's won. He is one with the ocean.
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.
