Kelly Slater Lives With Unbearable Pain - Wild Ride  

What a life this guy has had. He played it smart his whole career and didn’t get in his own way, stayed humble and lived the dream.

The smile on steveos face the entire time 😊

Kelly is such a genuinely nice guy..he has been the best representative for surfing g and a huge inspiration to so many...truly the GOAT!!! Forever the champ!!!

Loved the interview, Kelly Slater is an icon. I live in Haleiwa, North Shore on Oahu for 35 years, the surfing community is a family like no other.

Arguably one of the best athletes ever. A genius of his craft, what’s great guy.

Kellys the Man and Goat. Years ago when my son was a Grom. We went to the Hurley Pro at Lowers Kelly won. But as he was heading out for the final heat he gave my son his wax. My son still has that Wax smells like root beer.

Kelly Slater has Always been been my favorite surfer, even though I am 10 years his senior. He always motivates me to be the best Surfer, skater or Snowboarder I can! God Bless you all and him! 👍🏄🏽‍♂️🛹🏂🏍️✝️

Fuck yeah SteveO🤘 Thanks for the ShoutOut Boyz🙏🙌

The smile on Steveos face throughout is priceless 😂 this interview is gold!

Slater is a classy guy. Good sport, top level athlete, and obviously a thoughtful and intelligent guy.

He has a cat-like agility that no one else has. His intellect and instinct are huge factors in how he competes, he has total mastery of every skill required to be the best. Consistency is also part of his success. GOAT!!!

Kelly, beyond being an iconic surfer, is one of those guys that has stories for days and such a kind unassuming demeanor. That ever smile on your face Steve gives away just how nice it is to hang w him and share the stories.

It’s great that Kelly speaks nicely about other companies and their wave pools as opposed to most business people who won’t give competitors the time of day. Nice guy

If you are a skater or surfer from back in the day. Kelly Slater is like a GOD! I am 59 years old and my grandparents had a condo in Cocoa Beach years ago. Him coming from that area made him even more so of a true rockstar! You rule Kelly!! I kinda like you Steve-0!!!!!LOL!!!!!

That was a freaking awesome interview. 🏄‍♂️ Thanks for sharing it with us

Such a sick interview. Two legends reminiscing about the golden days. Haha you guys drew the path for many. I gotta watch the how surfing changes depression with steveo.

The Jimmy Buffett story was amazing, what an awesome gift to be able to give to a loved one. Love you both, this was the best.

A living Legend! Hopeful get to watch him perform for a few more years!

Kelly is the goat. What a legend man. I could watch him surf for hours

That was the best interview ever, thankyou soo much & Kelly is the most knowledgeable, humble kind spirit humans on this planet. Such a great watch ❤️🙏

Epic podcast!!! Thanks for the shout out SteveO!!!

Hey, coming to you from Queensland, Australia 🌏🦘🌏🦘🌏🦘 I grew up watching kelly slater, he was my surf idol , him & Occy and Tom Carrol. This was in 1990, and i was always the only girl surfer usually, lol !! I loved his moves, his raw talent, and obviously his looks, hehehe 😅 , but yeah, he was my absolute favourite surfer. I even made a surfboard just like one of his, it was a 6'3 thruster, with alot of rocker in the nose, and tail, so she flew in the water 🌊💦🌊 , it was a dove tail, if i remember correctly! Wow tho. Those were rhe days. I never lived more than a 5 minute walk from the beach, too. Of course, i have had many skin cancer surgerys, over the years, mostly on my back and face . And my left hip is stuffed. Ive got alot of arthritis setting in aswell. Im nearly 47 lol, but it was worth it !! I was lucky enough to make it to pipeline, and up and down the Australian coast, around Cronulla beach, noosa heads, Bondi, etc, as a teenager and young adult. But surfing does take its toll, as does skateboarding ( i did alot of that too, still do now haha) ive had some spectacular stacks on my deck, and nearly drowned 3 times in the water ( caught in rips, & under the impact zone, eating sand lol😮). But heck, i totally wish you all the best Kelly, may your pain be minimal, and your golf outstanding!!!!! Sending Lotsa love, respect and good vibes from the land of Oz 🎉 🙏❤️🙏

Great story about the shark encounter at J-Bay. I was watching the stream live. Those 5 seconds where Mick disappeared behind the swell was terrifying. I was thinking we might see Jaws in real time.

very rad interview, one of my many favorites. Thanks for this Steveo!! yOU ROCK

World champ at 20. World champ at 50. Not playing pool or darts or lawn bowling. In a physically demanding sport fighting against nature and people half his age. Legend.

Best day of the week is the day that wild ride comes. Thank you boys

Great interview, highly enjoyed that. Kelly youre a legend.

Now heading to work but have bookmarked this for tonight. Kelly Slater is such an awesome guy. Cant wait!

I had a Kelly Slater poster on my bedroom wall as a teenager. The beez neez of all things surf culture. Great episode guy's. Happy birthday to Paul!

Great interview and it’s funny how someone so passionate about life inspires you to live a better one

Listening to history, so cool, thanks yall! Love it.

Such a ledge!! Very well spoken individual as well as incredible athlete 💪🏼

He's so regal at contests, it's amazing the amount of respect and admiration he receives. *GOAT*

I'm impressed by how well you guys can talk, with no edits. Well done!

You can see how much respect and fun you are having Steve O. Great interview, keep them coming

it was awesome having Kelly come in the van! This one was a lot of fun.

I lived on the North Shore for a while and surfed next to Slater often. My buddy was filming me at Pipe one day, when I came in all these tourists came up to me trying to get pictures and autographs from me. (I am not a Pro at all/ not known) They all asked what it was like to surf with Kelly Slater, I shrug it off cause I didn't know he was out with me. So all these people have pictures of me and think I am this un known Pro surfer that isn't phased by surfing with the GOAT. hahahah. Still one of my favorite memories.

Great, man! Love your kindness. Cheers

Kelly’s book, “Pipe Dreams,” really demonstrated the great upbringing, clear-eyed maturity, and insight, rarely found by young achievers in any discipline. Hope to have my #7, “Wizard Sleeve,” signiture verified one day.🕉🏄🏾🤙😎

Great cast guys! Nice to see a legend here :)

The pod has been fire lately keep it up steve o!

I had the biggest crush on Slater as a teen. Nice to hear what he's been up to. Thank you

Awesome interview! Big Kelly Slater Fan and big Outerknown Fan. Canadian living in the Prairies wishing I was a surf guy.

Oh Kelly, been looking up to you all my life man. I nearly died at Zicadela last year, don’t know how you do it. Bless

Awesome interview. Always a pleasure listening to Kelly tell stories. You guys might wanna turn off autofocus for these podcasts tho. You can see the constant refocusing throughout video. I wonder if the lens is struggling with that furry poster on the wall behind.

Luv you 2 guys- are legends-Im 68 and still stoked on surfing and martisl arts!!...TY guys for stoke!!

Always awesome to hear some Kelly stories !

I'm in nc and it's been firing all season. Kelly said to train for pipeline is buxton nc the lighthouse fall /winter and it gets super heavy. what a cool human being 🤙

Such a great episode! thx Steveo and Kelly !

Super chill dude. Great episode.

Face the shark, you’re damn right. Same thing happened to me spearfishing in the Bahamas. I had a shark ram me. It circled back and came back for another attack, and when I dropped my fins down in the water, spread my arms and made myself look big and actually made eye contact , it broke off the attack.

Good way to start my morning here at work 🙌

Awesome hearing Kelly talk with SteveO. That Wave Ranch facility Kelly runs is epic, beautiful waves, ite and day and Ramani the surf tesch guru. Been watching alot of clips from there with all types of kooks on boards all enjoying it. Would love to go, watch, ride, help out. Super cool idea, thank you Kelly.

The 🐐 Goat was soo cool to have him❤ in Stevoo 🤙. You too at backdoor 6" 90 years old 💯✅

Good energy on the pod!

Steve-O ´s wearing a W.A.S.P shirt 🤘 My favorite band! Hellion for ever

Street team here! I liked this one.. hearing about the waves and the sharks was cool

Big ups from JBay! Enjoyed this dudes thank you

Great interview---a lot of content I havent heard before.

Love your podcasts Steve o!

Malibu Artist is probably the dude that Kelly mentions here. With the great drone footage of sharks and how they interact with unsuspecting people in the water😊 Great interview guys, dope vibes👌🏻

Wow what a great episode , thank you for having him on! #GOAT

Steve-O i hate to be the bearer of bad news, the older you get the more old injuries come back to haunt you. i am an old guy 67yo. been a fan for at least 20 years. thumbs up

Awesome interview - 2 things for next time: 1. Lock in that camera focus - the auto was driving me crazy - I wanna see Kelly as crisp as can be!! 2. Real hard to follow what you are talking about when we don't see the screen you're referencing - try and show that more!!

Thanks, Steve-O. Long live the Greatest.

Slater , Hawk , Brady , Woods , Other sports have them obviously, but in my opinion these are undeniable .

Crystal Cove one of my childhood spots. Not once did I think about sharks. As for the adult shark vs. juvenile, I think juvenile bull sharks are a concern. Testing the waters and unpredictable (from what I've read/heard).

All the best for your recovery

Shine On Kelly☝️😃

You are always thanking us at the end of each podcast. But THANK YOU for the constant Steve-O content! 🤘

Awesome job Steve-o! One of the best interviews I have seen in a long time! 😂🤣😂 you looked starstruck

Awesome podcast! Next time you come to Siargao come visit the northern part of the island for very good and still some empty waves to be had. KS is such a legend, what a life he's had.

Awesome job Steve-O. I was so hoping there’d be more North Shore talk

Yesss!! Super solid guest past few weeks

Kelly is amazing, Steve-O is amazing, but the fact that the camera could never find focus hurt my eyes a little bit lol. Still, you guys are awesome so who cares about the camera

I met kelly at WRV in Kitty Hawk, NC in the late 90's..super nice, humble, funny guy! I saw him in sports illustrated (they were saying he was going to be the goat back then) in the 80's, he was pretty young. That made me want to surf, which i do (try to do) lol

Excellent video, thanks Steve

Look at how freaking stoked Steve O is right now!🤟🙌

Checked to see of there was a new episode and wasn't disappointed 😂

The best Slater interview I've ever seen.

First time ive seen Steve-O star struck, rightfully so, Kelly is definitely the g.o.a.t....Great interview!

Kelly I know your injury was extreme and recovery is complicated. Acupuncture centered around your foot and also everywhere to relieve tension could be amazing. the “eastern” method could help you a lot potentially. i’m sure you have tried this already but just wanted to make sure; hopefully you see this. you are 20 at heart still your foot will recover fully ! 🙏🏼🌊🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏼

Great laid back info us newbys appreciate it

Kelly is super cool. I love to hear what’s happening from different angles than I’m used to. Different perceptions and experiences 🐸🍺🔪🔥

Stevo getting the GOAT in the bus. Great job Stevo

I met Kelly in tahoe at the golf thing..he is the man

Great casual interview. Hope you'll get the autofocuse dialed for the next one. ;)

Amazing interview! Lots of cool topics. RIP Jimmy Buffet btw 🙏🏼

amazing show, great interview. just one thing if I may, the camera for the couch side was focusing constantly in and out and i makes it a bit confusing to watch other than that it was amazing.

So excited for this one!

19:22 As soon as the fish is out of the water the ripples from a fish struggling are gone. They react to those waves. When youre in the water you feel everything. Thats like sound to them. 24:56

What an episode! An icon, is Kelly Slater... Thanks for the Pod. Killed it!

amazing. pro tip: once you set your focus on your camera, turn it to manual focus so it won't keep hunting and going in and out of focus

I remember Kelly from years ago. I grew up in Jacksonville beach Fl. He would always win the ESA contests as a kid. If Kelly was in the contest there was no chance of winning. I remember watching his film “110/240 in the early 90’s. I was blown away by how good he got in such a short time. Glad that I got to witness his career then and now.

Went to high school with Kelly…he’s a good person

Coco beach in the House! 🤙

Kelly Slater is dope, great guest to bring on 🤙

I remember surfing an ESA contest as a teen when I saw Kelly slaying waist high waves in New Smyrna Beach. All the guys I knew thought he was something special. Great talent.

Two of my heros. Boy am I getting old...

Always looking forward to a new wild ride podcast 😍 This ones gunna be GEWWWWD 🔥
