Arguably the greatest athlete to ever live. He’s 51 and still as good as almost everyone on tour, nearly all of whom hadn’t even been born when he won his first world title. In heavy, hollow waves he’s still in the top five globally and one of the top five tube riders walking.

Kelly Slater is an absolute class act. Have met and photographed him several times and I can tell you all he is very kind, genuine, and humble champion. He is so generous with his time (within reason) for fans and especially the youth. One of the greatest things about professional surfing is the access that fans have to the professionals. Many times at the WSL Championship Tour the competitors are on the beach and talking with their fans and friends of their own accord.

@RyGuyRy Год назад

Nailed it. Kelly is top tier in the surfing realm, a true waterman 11x WORLD Champ and still competing with kids just about 1/3 of his age! Dude is the ideal example of a *Living Legend* .

@juliebiggerbear7300 Год назад

I laughed way too hard at the hang 10 joke 😂😂😂 When that girl was asking about why her dad would have so many surfboards, my immediate thought was “she doesn’t get it.” It’s like anything that you love doing, you end up with a lot of different tools and items related to it. I will not go into just how much crochet, knitting, and drawing related things I have in my room… But I need them all!

@ChopASk8 Год назад

I sk8 & surf & I own a sk8 shop. I've had youngsters ask me how many sk8boards I have. Itz not a simple answer. When I lived in Fla,my friends had short boards & longboards. Some days in the summer the waves were too small for shorts boards. Itz funny how I knew surfers that rode only short boards & would clown ya if you said you had a good day goofin around on longboards. Longboards are harder to turn around & often the older ones didn't have leashes & you had to swim for them. Being short on a short board was easy for me in Fla.

I’m a photographer. Photographers and videographers have a name for that phenomena: We call it GAS. For “Gear Acquisition Syndrome”. Because no camera is objectively and absolutely perfect. A camera is perfect for a specific purpose. So we buy many, for different uses. Although, many of us, during our journey, tend to think that we’re limited by our equipment, that buying a new camera or lense will solve a given issue (hence why we seek the new shinny toy). And it is, almost every single time, a mistake. Usually, the photographer is the limited factor, not their tools.

@quarkraven Год назад

both the youngest and oldest world champion in the history of the sport. 11 times world champ, 55 career titles. He's not just the greatest surfer of all time. He is among the greatest athletes of all time in any sport. Kelly Slater you are the GOAT supreme.

Greatest of all time - I don't think there will ever been another like him, either.

@buffshepherd1540 Год назад

Adding to the 'what if there's a surf competition and no waves' answer... On the WSL Championship Tour events they have a window of around two weeks to get to the final, known as a 'wait period'. They do a 'dawn patrol' early in the morning to decide if the surfing is on or off for the day. If the surf is great, they run the heats back-to-back to make the most of the conditions. I think both the men and women's tournaments can be completed in five full days of surfing.

@philoster6627 11 месяцев назад

I love the ongoing discussion about wave height! In NZ we go with the 'Hawaiian' thinking (must be a Pacific Ocean mentality). What I don't get here is why we still use feet for waves but km/hr for wind. We are now seeing more metric measurements for height, it makes it seem smaller though ;-) Instead of 6.5 foot it's only 2 metres. Basically the back of the wave height is half the face height, here.

@m4x.r Год назад

a good question would have been: how do they read surf forecast? swell direction, period, influence of the tide, winds, etc.

@Freediver41jtf 11 месяцев назад

Fins forward on surf racks is most likely due to the surfboards rocker (curve) being flatter near the tail giving the wind less resistance on the board while your driving fast. I’ve seen the wind actually snap the nose off a short board. Just in case anyone is wondering…

@tropicalpnch4549 Год назад

I don't believe for a NANOSECOND that I know anything about surfing that Kelly Slater doesn't, but regarding the surfboards being strapped in backwards on top of cars - I worked at a surf shop for a few years and we always told people to mount them that way because the aerodynamics of the board going forward would loosen it under the straps, and cause it to fall off while you're driving down the road. The idea I think was that the board is shaped to go in that direction in the water so some kind of aerodynamic lift can happen that supposedly wouldn't happen if the board was strapped in backwards. Now I'm wondering if someone at the shop just made that up and everyone else repeated it 😅

@Randsurfer Год назад

Yes, the board is flatter (less rocker) at the tail end than the nose end. Better for the tail to be forward on the car.. What Kelly said could be true if you have horribly unreliable straps.

"Hi, I'm Kelly Slater. I'm a professional surfer..." O m g! Many years ago, I went to one of the first Mavericks contests. Walking out to the beach, there was a kind of short, shave headed guy with a surfboard under his arm talking to a couple of guys. I stopped to eavesdrop. After the surfer left, one of the guys said to the others, Dude, who was that? Dude, that was Kelly f ing Slater! Imagine LeBron James or the Brady guy stopping to casually talk to fans before a game. A game in which he could be killed. Fan for life. 😎

@Malama_Ki Год назад

Get a non-chipped duplicate car key that just unlocks the door but won’t start the car. Most surf trunks have an elastic string in the pocket to attach it or you can add one through the pockets drain grommet. Some leashes (DaKine) have a small Velcro pocket on the ankle strap. Another option is a combination lockbox (like realtors use on doorknobs) locked on your bumper somewhere. DON’T hide or use a magnetic key holder because some punk will be hiding and eye your spot.

@Shrimpyyyyyyyy Год назад

Combination lockboxes are the best, my bro in law uses one whenever he goes surfing.

Tom Brady just retired at 44 with 7 titles. Anyone that surfs knows that being good at it is very difficult because you cant just practice anytime you want, sometimes you can go a whole month without any waves.

@mith2946 9 месяцев назад

Your argument is facile, it would be very difficult to justify. First, you said the greatest athlete ever. That's a different argument then the greatest amongst the greatest in their respective fields. For one you may say Bo Jackson and the other you might say Tom Brady. Tom Brady can also play near perfect and still lose a game easily, it's a team sport surfing isn't. Tom Brady has much more data to verify his greatness than Slater. No one to blame it just is what it is. So be careful of the blanket statements, it's showing your obvious bias.
