Professional surfer Kai Lenny slams government response in Maui recovery

On Maui, Kai Lenny Leads Citizen-Run Recovery Effort

Supplies Pouring in, But Getting Them Where They’re Needed is the Challenge

Kai Lenny, a Daring Surfer and Maui Native, Takes Action

Here on Maui, supplies are pouring in, but the challenge now is getting those supplies to the people who need them. Kai Lenny, a daring big wave professional surfer and a Maui native, says he’s been forced to lead a citizen-run recovery effort because the government’s response has been inadequate. People in the fire zone are telling him they haven’t seen a government employee in days.

At one moment, you’re in beautiful Hawaii, and the next, an amazing tragedy occurs. The government’s lack of response has pushed locals like Kai to take matters into their own hands to help those in need.

When asked about the needs in the days after the fire, Kai mentioned that people were sitting back, waiting for help to arrive, but nothing was happening. That’s when he realized the government was not going to be able to respond effectively, and locals had to step up.

As someone who’s used to facing challenging situations, like riding giant waves, Kai knew he had to speak the truth and take action. He mentioned the chaos and organization at the distribution centers, where volunteers are working tirelessly to assist those affected by the disaster.

Despite the government’s claims of response efforts, Kai and others on the ground continue to see a lack of support in the hardest-hit areas. The frustration and worry among the locals are mounting, as they feel like they’re being overlooked.

It’s clear that the Hawaiian people are resilient and resourceful, coming together in times of need. Kai’s bravery and determination in leading the recovery effort showcase the strength and unity of the community.

Readers, what are your thoughts on the situation in Maui? Do you believe the government should be doing more to assist in the recovery efforts? Share your opinions and experiences in the comments below.

    Gaslighting government. This was a planned attack to grab land.

    This is what happens when you live on planet luxury your whole life and then decide to take a political stand against your local goverment and you have no intellectual ammunition. Being an influencer comes with great responsibility. There is multiple things lacking here.

    Don't you love how in the beginning they make it seem like lava was the cause…SMH

    (3:51) ""The Federal, State and Local Government, they have their own truth""…. MAINSTREAM MEDIA CORRUPTION at its worst

    The highlight of what gayle king said “talking about the background so pretty” about a disaster lol

    Everyone needs to keep reposting and sharing everything about Maui right now! Every little thing we share can help expose the government and all this corruption on a worldwide level. We are gonna need all the help from the whole world to take down this kind of evil !!!

    Our voices are more powerful than any weapon our government has. We obviously don’t have the means to start a war but if we are all aware about this corruption going on we can stand up and speak for everyone. The whole agenda is to divide us so we can’t rise against but if the whole world is with us let our voices be the fire to spark everyone’s inner flame. I pray these words reaches the whole world.

    GOD IS WITH US AND WE NEED TO USE OUR STRONGEST WEAPON AGAINST THESE EVILS AND THAT IS OUR VOICE. PEOPLE OF HAWAII WE NEED TO KEEP THIS ALIVE THROUGH TALK AND CONVERSATION. THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE!!!

    Pikachu met Kai Lenny at Kahana Ohana Boat Ramp on Maui…. @redbull @kailenny

    They voted for Democrats who care more about Ukrainians and Mexicans than Americans… And now they're upset that they're experiencing the policies they voted for.

  9. @ausername7470

    This was intentional, incompetency and negligence can't simply explain all that happened.

  10. @johnalexander5738

    He's 100 percent correct. We never saw anyone from any government office to help, show up or even tell us what was going on or what happened. The cover up is real. The boat ramp where supplies were coming in is across from my house. The boats started Wed morning. They were all locals and not a single government boat.

    This whole fire needs to be looked at from every angle. We can send billions of dollars to foreign countries but can't get support from the military until weeks later. Where is our Federal response to helping Americans?

    Oprah's best friend, Gail King said "there's a place in hell for anyone who would take advantage of this situation " 4:45 😮 wonder if Opah's mad at her¿

  12. @BritBelle89

    How horrific. The government does not care about us! Protect yourself, your family and your community.

  13. @Deetroiter

    You voted democrat. Live with the results.

  14. @rzenia2930

    Apparently Oprah donated 10 mls……😂😂 so she said 🙄, None of the billionaire's property being damaged like Oprah's, Mark Zuckerberg's or Jeff Bezos'…just to name a few….how come?

  15. @davidkelly8145

    It’s hard for you to do any real reporting sitting in a chair while reiterating the main stream lies

  16. @RossellaPerry

    Needs to be a federal investigation with federal agents brought in not locally. Fact finding and resulting in criminal charges .Too many witnesses and recordings .Governor labels disaster globel warming without fire investigation results how fire started not even complete.

  17. @mfrank3518

    In this day and age you would think it to be impossible for a land grab like this.
    Government “hold my bud light”

  18. @villagecpa

    The Democrat controlled government is completely incompetent. We have been lied to about this whole situation.

  19. @marymurphy246

    Why do we pay for illegal immigrants to stay in hotels and not our own citizens.

  20. @fiendwithout

    How much did Red Bull paynyou for this?

  21. @PlanJ117

    Mahalo, Kai! I wish I could be there.

  22. @zaxpage9003

    Biden gave you all 700 bucks and showed up for a photo opportunity. I imagine that's all biden can afford to do at this time.

  23. @chipchaser44

    every one of those government officials, from the governor on down to the chief of police and all members of the disaster response team need to be in prison. Better check all their bank accounts, especially the offshore bank accounts!!

  24. @joe3973

    That’s why don’t vote for the same people in office you know who don’t care wake up Hawaii !

  25. @PopUpOven

    Gail, your girlfriend Oprah is taking advantage of the situation. Where are the children? The children are not for sale.

  26. @Fishingandstones

  27. @garypacholek8070
