Even if he was to retire from the circuit, it would be hard to replace and top a legend. Like Ruth, Mays, Jordan, James, Smith, Manning, Montana, Ali and Robinson their fields. And no other athlete on the planet has more World Titles in their sport than Slater. He rocked.
He is not too old, c'mon he won Pipe, but when the WSL judges scored him 4.17 at the 2015 Hurley Pro, that's when I knew they didn't want him to win a championship again.
Been underscored for the past ten years, they're all against him, still does the most psycho turns on tour and #1 in heavy barrels, hes the best still! Put him out at 10ft cloudy and he is on another level to all others - insane aye
so cool to see him still in the game and he GOAT..., he can be in top 10 if hes healthy, but I think he´s just too old to be in the title race ( which would be Miracle) He relies on barrels, style, flow and some nice carves..which is a lot :-) . but to be really on top nowadays you need big maneuvers..
At 50 someone like Kelly Slater is in his prime. I know this for a fact because at 50 I broke a record in the mining industry which was held but a much younger man and it had been said this record could not be broken. 50 is an age where you have all the experience to draw from and expert at using your strengths. He could win it.
If Kelly can get to his feet he’s not to old.
No matter what..
Kelly Slater is the True meaning of G.O.A.T of any and all athletes in history
100%

Kelly is the man!!!
Younger guys so back and learn😃
Get em Kelly
If I'm surfing my Best at 61, so can Kelly. 50 is just a number.
It’s about performance, not age, clearly He’s performing
He will be competitive in hollow big waves like Pipe and Chopo otherwise it will be hard keeping up with the young guns !!!!
If aliens ever invaded, we should immediately hide Kelly Slater,,, 🤣

We’re talking about the KING who’s still freakin shredding man so there’s my answer😉
also 2019 france, Portugal, west aus, keramas; sl8r was doing the most insane turns.

Could you make a highlight reel of 2019 sl8r clips :)!?
HELL NO.

still way better than everyone ,..and he will be doing it at 60 better too
Too much talent too long for a Florida boy it's the stoke, and it never leaves you RIDE ON!
Does this short clip make him look to old it only makes him look too stylish and ready for another year
If I were him, I would just Rip Curl Search and get paid to just surf perfect waves. Why compete? Seems like a hassle, and for what?
He rips , age doesn’t matter
Big conditions Kelly is top dog on tour
Hard to make the argument that he is too old for big barrels. Small waves surfing against guys half his age is his kryptonite
Still smoking most of the competition why stop.
50 is young homie
Hes still blitzing it
55 yes. Not 50.
Not at Tahiti or pipe, maybe small wave events
Kelly Slater is the king not "was" like Elvis the king
No
he ll be 51
Think of all the young dreams he has stolen?!
Yep, fook the little ❄!!
