It is actually a 'Guitarlele', hence the wide fretboard and six strings.
The one he is playing is ....

There are six string ukes that are still technically ukes, it's just that just two of the (what would normally be four) strings are paired.

Such as this one....

Hope this helps.

Kalei is a beast...one of the most exciting uke players out there. Check out his tune Mach 4:

Brittni is a wonderful talent as well. Several years back I worked with her to create a transcription of her arrangement of Over The Rainbow:

Lovely chord voicings.
