Kai Lenny turns from Stand Up Paddling to Acting

Filming for 'The Sup Movie'. Lenny almost takes out a drone...
Could this be the start of Kai Lenny’s departure from competitive stand up paddling? He wouldn’t be first to wind down competiting in search of an acting job!

Probably not, but we’re very excited to see what Mr Lenny has in store with his new movie set for release in October. Appropriately called ‘The SUP Movie’, this 40min film promises to change the way viewers view stand up paddling.

Follow Kai Lenny and his friends around the world, watch their incredible skills on a stand up paddle board, and take in the amazing scenery. Thanks to Kai’s sponsors, all the filming and travelling has been completed already, all they need is some music and introduction graphics.

To fund such things, they’re going the way of all small films these days, pre-selling their movie on Kickstarter. $10 will get you a download of the movie, and $40 will get you a Blu-Ray disk shipped to your door.

They’re asking $25,000, saying:
“With the majority of the filming completed our biggest challenge is matching music with the epic footage we've captured, to create a visual masterpiece of SUP action and audio splendor!

Music is expensive, and as you know it can make or break a film. We are confident we can create an eclectic soundtrack that stands up (no pun intended) to the surfing and adventure The SUP Movie will show.”

Keen to see it first? Check out the trailer below, and pre-purchase the DVD on their kickstarter campaign.
