Is Maui big wave surfer Kai Lenny really just made of human DNA? Or is he some sort of alien sent to Earth to test our waves and blow our minds?

That's what his latest Instagram post has his followers asking. But let's back up a bit.

Lenny is an all-around badass waterman (whose middle name literally is Waterman) who surfs huge waves, foil surfs, stand-up paddles, and even finds time to be a hometown hero. But the mind-blowing move in his latest Instagram post is just nuts.

Lenny captioned the clip above:

"Cloudbreak changed so much throughout the day. From surfing barrels to barrel rolls."

According to Lenny's recent Instagram trail, he's been staying on Fiji's Namotu Island. It's about a mile and a half from Tavarua Island, whose reef is home to the notorious barrelling lefthander, Cloudbreak.

The video Lenny posted above consists of two clips.

The first shows him going backside on a barreling wave at Cloudbreak. He does a mind-blowing barrel role and lands it smoothly.

Crazy enough, right?

But it's the next one that really makes him look superhuman.

He again comes backside down the wave, does a ridiculously high barrel role, lands it right in the lip, and airdrops while stuck in that lip.

And lands it. Perfectly.

One viewer asked what we were already thinking and commented: "How are you a real human?"

Jamie O'Brien's mind was blown too. He summed it up perfectly, commenting: "Nuts"
