Red Bull athlete and water sports superstar Kai Lenny will arrive in Milwaukee on Thursday and attempt to kiteboard from Milwaukee to Chicago starting Friday morning at sunrise.
Lenny -- who just turned 18 on Oct. 8 -- is an accomplished surfer, kiteboarder, long distance paddler, stand-up paddler, tow surfer, canoe surfer and windsurfer.
If he completes his goal, he will be the first person to ever kiteboard from Milwaukee to Chicago. Kiteboarding -- also called kitesurfing -- is a surface water sport in which the wind pulls a rider through the water on a small surfboard / kiteboard.
"I just want to keep having fun, take it in stride," says Lenny.
