Kelly Slater: Lost Tapes | Golden Opportunity - Episode 8 

This living legend needs to write another book. He's got a lot of good stories and wisdom to share.

Kelly delivering that message of peace at the end really gave this part a solid meaning. Incredible..

My favorite thing to do on a Sunday night in Oz is watch Kelly be crazy humble and super hunger in every event- never stop brah!

Kelly is easily the most underrated athlete on earth and he’s also the most humble of all the top tear word champions in any sport. Legendary human being.

5:22 to 8:40 is perhaps some of the most inspiring bits of film I've ever seen from Kelly Slater. This segment has definitely stuck with me. the music, and if I may say, perhaps some of his best turns. Thank you Kelly. Surf on "Old Man."

How good is his surfing STILL, and those waves he scored in Japan...

I never get tired to watch Kelly surfing and that will be until his last breath which will be probably after me. I'm 42 but i looks way older than him. I'm sure he will still get barreled in 12 feet pipe at 80 years old ! He is the best athlete in the world hands down, his ability to mentally and physically be ready for all conditions, all year long, staying to stretchy , keep learning on many other domains outside of Surf, and most important stay humble, rarely claim (nose claim when it was a really good one...). Many focus on his body longevity but his ability to control his mind, produce dopamine to go surfing a mushy 2feet waves at 5am before getting his heat later in the afternoon.... That motivation and attitude is the most freaking thing about him in my eyes... The 🐐..... If chopes is massive and perfect this year he is gonna win it for sure 👊

What a privilege, Seeing inside a great life, Kelly Slater - GOAT Thank you Kelly, these videos really help me

Kelly, You were surfing so good in this video. That 360 turn you did in the beginning blew me away! I've had the pleasure of watching you at LA Conchita pier in Carpinteria. It always has a weird bump in it, but you made it look like J bay. So in my life, I've had the good fortune to watch you surf, and back in the 80's Watched M.R. surf 10 ft Honolua. What a treat. Thank you. Got to see the best 👌

I really liked this episode. There was just a vibe about it from the start.

Awesome videos! Please produce a series like this covering Kelly's entire career.

17:24 That moment when spying a barrel wave blows all thoughts out of his head. Can totally relate.

I love this series

宮﨑のケリーは、素晴らしかった。これからも世界で活躍して欲しい。私は、ずっとファンで有り続けます。

Growing up with the momentum generation and idolizing Slater and the crew since 93.. I can say that Slater is the greatest Athlete of any sport of all time.

Top work from the gang from Senagal !! Looks Amazing , and I'm sure It's appreciated 🙂

Kelly is probably the human I respect the most out of anyone, such a great person

Nothing better than Surf and Sushi 🍣 they go perfect together.

I just realized, surfing is so much about being in the right place at the right moment.

Wow bro. You really are out doing yourself with this… really can see even tho conditions are slower on the free surf sections, you really can see where growing up surfing SEBASTIAN INLET shows through. Big hurricane swells!! saw him surf south beach VERO BEACH 6 hours before the eye hit, close our perfect right. Breaking literally on dry sand. Legend bro ,,

The GOAT

soooooo sick , amped for the next one

Special, one of a kind human 🌊

Kelly using the Windy app! Love it. That app has been a game changer for scheduling sessions. Best of all the FREE version is super solid.

Thank you so much it was very helpful

supercnice piece, thank you 😊

nice soundtrack with that dreamy session. yeah I found out here in west oz, like Kelly said about Japan - the more respectful you are the more they want you to get a good wave. Not many places like that on the globe.

really cool episode

The king!

Love the KS: LT series!

Best ever 🏄

This was a great motivation before my flight today back to indonesia for the next year to surf.....

very cool!

Ladies and gentlemen.... Living surfing legend: KELLY SLATER!

True champ 🤙

Heck Yes that’s my tune at 5:24

It was so great the waves showed up for the Olympics. Most of you probably don't realize the odds of that region getting those waves at that time of the year. It ended up being a great comp.

So many people need to take in that opinion by Kelly at the end- how surfing can be an impetus for peace as opposed to just being a ‘cool’ ie self-centred practice. So many tourists out here in Bali need to check themselves because their attitude and character is wrong. For instance, don’t drop in deliberately and be a kook, help someone if they’ve lost their board and are struggling, and dont deliberately aim for someone if they’ve cocked up heading back out to the lineup etc. just be cool 🤙

Kelly's Godson, Jackson Dorian is AMAZING!

That was a pretty cool chair 🤙

Enjoying this series, but that sunblock job on his face / head, I thought it was Zuckerberg for a second. LOL.

Kelly, please do an episode on growing up and surfing the Sebastian Inlet.

Iradoo

Yeahhh

this series just gets better each episode, love it, sl8r has always been one of my top heroes, and even more so after this series, what an inspiring and amazing human. And how about the fukn upside down forehand karate-like snap at around 8:17, and the big full rotation around 15:02.. Lol I've watched so many sl8 clips over the years and in the comps that he has influenced how I mind surf, when I see a wave and imagine what I'd do on it, it's basically just a video on replay of the goat lol (obviously it's a fantasy and I don't actually do the moves I imagine, but reach for the stars and ya might get to the moon..).. Crazy thing is how much better than everyone else Kelly is at waves of consequence, like pipe, chopes, cloudbreak (watch the 2012 Cloudy clips - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RFTOrFvnm8s.html&ab_channel=100percentsurf the turns he was doing would still be 9+ point rides today, still unmatched today).. Put him out there in pumping consequential conditions against the worlds best and he is 30% better than the entire field (as one commentator - Peter Mel perhaps - stated during Slaters super dominant chopes victory in 2016, the win that included four 10 point rides...). If the tour was all heavy scary barrels Slater would be 25x champ.. I also reckon he gets underscored in the comps, consistently, over the past decade.. And has had terrible luck this year in the contests, seriously someone should pull the stats up, losing by less than 0.5 in almost every contest all year, Sl8 and Chianca were cursed this year.. Hopefully Slater wins Chopes and it's 8-10ft and insanity, to start 2022 with the pipe win and end with chopes win would be epic. How about they change the final 5 day to cloudbreak; in my opinion the final day should be decided in a more intense wave, not a playful HP wave that any old punter can do a good hack on.. He could have easily been 13x champ also.. Due to Mick being overscored (in my opinion) in 2013 at Pipe - causing Slater to lose by one heat, and in 2012 Slater skipped Brasil, then lost by one heat to Parko at Pipe, so even a last in Brasil would have sealed the world title easily over Parko that year. Even people in my home town around Sl8rs age are all amped and inspired to maintain their surfing level and keep peaking at late 40's and 50's. Hope Slate wins pipe etc at 55, even 60, it's doable. I met Kelly in Oahu at Turtle Bay with Rob Machado in 2015-16 winter, real nice guy, didn't chat about surfing, just discussed a few world problems for about 20minutes, real nice of him to give fans his time like that

Who in the world can compete with Slater? I mean in any sport there is, being this good for so long.. I say best ever in any sport

King Kong K crushing the comp. Most definitely

Is there Radiation in that water from fuckashima?

minute 15.03 was just insane!

Loved the series cheers, but next time don’t offer my wife’s chips in my dreams thanks Kelly

Cutback central! That cutback was fucking insane.

15:12min..sick air..🇳🇿😷

tou farto de ver o careca a surfar e eu acho que ele também

🤙

🤙🤙🤙

Some black dude gives kelly an AMAZING hand made chair, and tells him his son is named "Kelly". Wow. What a far reaching influence this man has on soo many people. I can see how it can get overwhelming at times. It's all positive, but still, what a life.

When was this filmed?

Brett Simpson hanging with Kelly!

Still has a bigger bag of moves than anyone on tour.

Anyone knows the title of the song at 6:58? So calming to my ears…cheers…!

Why don't they include episode numbers on these!

8:18 super critical

Opa

What year was this filmed?

what's the track name in minute 6?

Wolfman surf freek here want to say Hollywood beach 1962 till now

Fly in the champagne

When you realize Kelly uses the same swell/wind app as you…at least I’m doing something right!

Anyone know song at 16:20 onwards?

Kelly, I’m of Lebanese decent as well!

Song intro ??

Whats the song name at 7:42 ?

Love Kelly finding a greater meaning for surfing. But don't get disappointed when surfing does not bring world peace. Yes, music and sports can and should be used to bring people together. No, that will not fix human's need for tribal war.

i surf beause kelly is there

Imagine the board shaper who doesn't use a mask whilst working telling kelly slater he can't surf the wave haha..

Japanese guys had no idea what he was talking about

Wave at 15 min !!!

SUBTITLES, please

The fact that kelly wasn’t involved in Olympic surfing team for USA is a disgrace and personally think JJF fucked him up on purpose coming back to early from his knee injury just so kelly couldn’t compete in Olympics JJ has plenty of time to do the Olympics kelly doesn’t or even should be on the coaching team he is the best competive surfer in the world and probably ever why would you not use him it’s ridiculous

It's too bad the contest wasn't held in Olympic caliber waves.

wtf are these machines at the very beginning of the video ?

😈😈😈😈 ohh i just saw the smaller third fin , you moved around 😈😈😈😈

"I appreciate the breast cancer and algae contamination awareness miu miu ensemble you humbled yourself to appear before this scholared gent Noelia ; brb wire fence. They get older by the day don't date" ©

Kelly needs to retire from the tour after this year and travel the world with cameras following him. we'd all watch Vlog style would be awesome but high quality docu series like these too.

くさんありますありがとうございます」、

😈😈😈😈 you do excell in free spirit surfing on twns , Just keep the thuster with a smaller fin in competions on around 9 10 foot swells ... you can still get ridiculous grip on the twnny but ss we get older our bones get heavier as your leaner then ever in your roppened age 😈😈😈

o cabeça de ovo deixa eu de fazer outra pergunta vc já experimento alguma peruca para mudar seu visual

🏄 THXXXXXXXX "WSL" AND "KS11"!!!!!! MOOORE THAAAN AWESOME AND COOOOOOL!!!! 🏄

😈😈😈 in the old days older womennuse to drink soda water , not only to help with digestion but with reflux but the sodium helped break down bone marrow ... so they could move around easier but if they fell the hip breaks floods the blood with perotiens which causes high blood pressure and the fact the dna strands are immediately present also ... but i think the theory is sound , just need to over dose on umm the composite that helps with your nails flexability and obviouly bone flexability. .. i dont know im voicing this , i just believe with dna strand failures the flexability in bone density fails and the bones become more rigid .. i know youve had your own problems with foot fractures ..... whats that friggin composition ...... arrhh keratin protein Nail Plate: The nail plate is made of keratin protein formed by amino acids. These proteins are a strong, flexible material made from many layers of dead, flattened cells. Hair and skin are also keratin protein; however, they are much softer and more flexible.19 Mar 2015 You can buy the mineral ... i use to give it to my child cause he wanted to skate board .. immediately before giving him the chemistry brocken foot .... 😈😈😈

It's a shame that in the spirit of the Olympics all the medal winners weren't quickly mentioned. 🥇🥈🥉

🤮🤙🏾

so what was "lost" about the tapes? what a poor excuse to publicize a boring video...

the goat without doubt but holy smokes what an insufferable human / ego

surfing is not cool...

Let's here it for bald guys. My hair is almost gone too! Fortunately, some chicks think bald is cool so the possibility of booty calls still exists after going bald.
