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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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! 👍🏄🏽♂️🛹🏂🏍️✝️
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!!!!!
@@docskate4312statistically he's won more championships than almost any athlete ever. also has been a competing professional (and winning) in his sport for over 30 years... regardless of what you define as an athlete he is inarguably one of the GOAT's
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!!!
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
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.
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 ❤️🙏
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.
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 🎉 🙏❤️🙏
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.
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.🕉🏄🏾🤙😎
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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👌🏻
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
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
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).
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!!
I haven’t surfed in 10 years went to Oahu for the first time and got back into it. I was at Pipeline, observing, and my God do you have to have brass balls to surf that wave. Slater won pipe masters at 50 years old. No other word describes the guy except GOAT.
If Slater checked the working conditions (of the slaves) before building the wavepool in abu dhabi he would have remained the goat. I am a avid surfer for over 20 years but i can not believe Kelly Slater sold out after all ready having everything he needed. Could not believe it and had to check it twice…. So so sad what people are willing to ignore only for money 😥
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.
Me and my buddies are all from sebastian...grew up surfing the inlet and wabasso...Kelly used to be at the inlet all the time man...always down to kick it w the groms...
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.
Back in the mid 80"s a couple buddies and I were in Huntington Beach surfing 2-3 footers. One of my buddies board nose dove into the wave when he was trying to get up. his board shot up at him and the fin nailed him in his forehead, slicing a big gash! a lifeguard patched him up and sent him to the hospital where he received 5 or 6 stiches!
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.

When I was young I was leaving in Marseille a town on the coast without wave and I was going live in Hossegor for surf. I laughed so much with my friends about this story that intersect with my life.
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.
So True.....Admirables
he's the goat for a reason!! amazing
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.
Tell that to all the surfers acting like idiots once they're in the water...
That's why we have the Hui lol. It's our outdoor classroom. 😊
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.
The smile on steveos face the entire time 😊
It's because Kelly showed steve-o his tiny weener before the podcast started 😊❤
Yeah I was wondering if his teeth/gums ever dry out. 😂
Where is the video?

Kelly at jbay attacking the lip was always a part of my amping before I surfed.
My name is skip.fyi
The smile on Steveos face throughout is priceless 😂 this interview is gold!
Stevo can’t smile properly with those teeth haha 😂

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.

That was a freaking awesome interview. 🏄♂️ Thanks for sharing it with us
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
Slater is a classy guy. Good sport, top level athlete, and obviously a thoughtful and intelligent guy.
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!
Now heading to work but have bookmarked this for tonight. Kelly Slater is such an awesome guy. Cant wait!
Great interview and it’s funny how someone so passionate about life inspires you to live a better one
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
A real business person.
Never speaks badly about anybody, however he’s a ruthless competitor and a silent assassin.
He is someone who wants wavepools to be as common as swimming pools, whether its his or not. Just dedication to the sport
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.
That was the best interview ever, thankyou soo much & Kelly is the most knowledgeable, humble kind spirit humans on this planet.

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

I notice this on other podcast with the microphone going in and out of focus and I wonder why people use the auto focus.
Agreed. It’s because they are still rookies figuring out the technicals.
I had the biggest crush on Slater as a teen. Nice to hear what he's been up to. Thank you
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
The best Slater interview I've ever seen.
Great interview, highly enjoyed that. Kelly youre a legend.

Street team here! I liked this one.. hearing about the waves and the sharks was cool
The Jimmy Buffet story...magic...for his brother. I enjoyed this. Floridian enjoyin from the 904.
Houses in Hawaii. Florida, California and Australia ……Kelly has a blessed life. And stays approachable and humble. That shows damn solid character.
Always awesome to hear some Kelly stories !
The 🐐 Goat was soo cool to have him❤ in Stevoo 🤙. You too at backdoor 6" 90 years old 💯✅

First time ive seen Steve-O star struck, rightfully so, Kelly is definitely the g.o.a.t....Great interview!
Slater , Hawk , Brady , Woods , Other sports have them obviously, but in my opinion these are undeniable .

Checked to see of there was a new episode and wasn't disappointed 😂
Awesome job Steve-O. I was so hoping there’d be more North Shore talk
Great interview---a lot of content I havent heard before.
7:05 Maybe the 1995 swell that Mike Stewart surfed from southern hemisphere up to Aleutians. South Shore Oahu was huge on that swell.
What a guest ! Wish I could see him and Steve Irwin have a mad day together right now. Up Kelly Slater!
37'43" Movie is Brice de Nice, (by and acted by Jean Dujardin) quoted by the GOAT. This day has finally come
Me and my buddies are all from sebastian...grew up surfing the inlet and wabasso...Kelly used to be at the inlet all the time man...always down to kick it w the groms...
I would always surf Spanish house as a youngin. Fun times!
@chilltime4878 Spanish house goes off...deep water is spooky but fun...good times for sure
