- @KellySlater 2022 Pipe Master winner has a nice emotional (close to retirement) speech. 30 Years ago he won in 1992 and now in 2022. 8 pipe wins in total.
Much Respect for your surf knowledge, healthy ways of living and help to us all.

Is there anything that we can call him better than the GOAT?!
Congratulations 8X Champion, Kelly.
Regardless of any choice you may make for your future, I have really appreciated being along for this long incredible ride.
Thanks for being an inspiration in and out of the water.
In this man's eyes you will always be one bad motherfuc&er.
Kelly's mum said why cant he be called boat, best lol. Yes mate more thought could have been better lol. He's at 11 world titles too mate. Thx 4 the nice words!!
Ppl been using g.o.a.t. for a long time now. To my knowledge, it started with skateboard/bmx/motocross culture, and stuck. B.o.a.t. would be better, but not as funny. And considering the source, (just think of all the oddball names for the tricks in those sports, and you can see that humor plays a big factor in nicknaming) I think g.o.a.t. is quite suitable
He really did commit his life to this! What a legend! He deserves it! Also RIP Andy!
As a floridian and a 25 year surfer...I'm 36 now....I'm in tears right now....love you slater....my greatest inspiration ever in my life....surfing comps will never be the same without you
Nice words thx mate
Simply the best! He was a role model way back in the early 90,s at Cocoa Beach high school and just never stopped. I can't help but get really emotional myself over this because Kelly took a moment back in 92 right after his 1st world title and asked a nobody (me) to help world champion (him) paint a beach scene mural on the cafeteria window of our school. A memory I'll never forget. To see him now makes me so damn proud of him!
Nice work mate, helping our rad sport and the GOAT. Long live KS.
So surprised how honest he was, that he hated lots of it...amazing honesty compared to so many pro athletes and celebrities who are rather fake and only give canned respones. Respect to him.
Kelly Slater is an incredible person
Congratulations Kelly Slater on your incredible surfing career. Proven to have been one of the most durable, and talented athletes in any sport, anywhere in the world. Well done.
I'm so happy for Kelly , he truly is a Pipe Master and a class act ..
Kelly can’t quit now he’s given the tour life once again
Everyone forgets that as a professional athlete he has been number 1 more then any other athlete in any sport. The true G.O.A.T
Omg that brought tears to my eyes! Kelly, you are a great champion of champions, your words so gracious humble and love for Hawaii Ohana is truly amazing the show of Aloha... God is great, he made all of this to play in and your words for Axel Lindy and Andy were so kind... Most amazing loving thing I have witnessed in a very long time, yes Andy we miss you... A.I.F!
Thanks to the tribe for making this possible and the good Lord above for such a beautiful arena to compete in!
Aloha from the Great lakes USA
Well said mate, i shared some eye water too lol. Long live the GOAT.
@@AussyCC cheers mate 🤙🤙🤙
Congrats Kelly- honoring your journey of mind, body and courage. Decades ago I surfed next you on the east shore of Barbados - never forgot it and so profoundly proud of you- a genuine inspiration to all who seek to keep getting up after every fall. Just awesome. You’ve come a long way from those Florida first days :)
I'm glad u shared a line-up with the GOAT mate!
Andy Irons son giving him the lei and trophie.. 🙏 life is spiritual
remembered Brock too
Nothing but AWESOMENESS, respect and love. Brilliant for our sport. Others need to surf too to gain the mana lol
Heart-breaking when Kelly said he "hated lots of it" then I thought about how long this man has had to live with a "target" on his back... then it made sense to me .... the mental endurance over all these years is phenomenal...Good onya mate,,,that was something special
Giving credit to those at the end was just an incredible class act.
Congratulations Kelly.
That was so sincere. You could really feel the love ❤
Slater making history, and quickly paying tribute to AI, the Moniz family, and all who have helped him and shaped him. I wiping away tears right now: what a beautiful interview. Slater is the man
Well said and thx mate mate. He's a great role model for our rad sport
Congratuletions Kelly!👏👏👏👏👏👏🥂
This is the Best!...🏄♀️👏👏👏🏄♀️👏👏👏🥂
love it when Kelly says "Seth Come" ....the goat still telling his grasshopper what to do just after he clipped his hoppers in the water. Hands down the best sportsman in all sport genres ever in my book, a true inspirational legend!
lol, yah mate i laughed then too
Gratitude, Respect and Aloha,
Such a fine moment shared with us all!
Name a sport that has such an exemplar other than Kelly Slater. Gracious and humble, bigger than life. I’ve followed your career since you first made it to the pros. Thanks for the timeless way you show what one can do when truly committed. Well done, keep it real.
Well said mate. Long live the GOAT KS!
Boxing had George Foreman and then there is Tony Hawk and skateboatding
That is just soo cool!! Congrats Kelly!
Kelly was my idol as a grom. At 36 now. Here he is. Wow.
He was mine and I’m 46
@@ottoswinebar I STILL look up to KS i'm 48, long live the GOAT
Well that made me cry. Axel looks just like his daddy 💕
Well said mate, i shared some eye water too lol. Long live the GOAT KS!
Not only a great surfer, a great ambassador for the sport of surfing. Humility & a pity other sports did not have champions like the goat.
Well said mate! I dont look up to many, but KS is 1 one those who i always will
@@AussyCC Yes, a great role model for the spost.
Absolutely Amazing!
I met him once in Indonesia. Very humble. Enjoyed our conversation.
Well done mate, thats a nice time to remember.
We miss you Andy
8 times! What An amazing athlete!
Still charging huge, scary surf. Back in 84 @ the pier in Cocoa Beach he surfed (and beat) the men's division champ (Todd Holland) & the pro division champ (Matt Kechly) in 6 to 8 foot waves that were double over head (for Kelly) when he was just 12. He shredded then and STILL shreds. His agility is second to none, EVER. Thanks from another CB local in his 50's.
Nice words thx mate
The greatest video of all times
Always a class act watched him his entire career and aspire to be just like Kelly well done congratulations enjoy your retirement my friend!
His emotion was palpable.Very intense.
only one KELLY SLATER !!!! GOAT
I had the same feeling watching that live. He said he hates some of the shit a couple times. Hope he doesn't retire Sunday morning. Go for 12 Kelly
Love it. So frikken awesome.
He never once said he was going to retire, he left the door completely open , he might still show up to sunset tomorrow .
Maybe he just said goodbye to Pipeline…maybe he is on his farewell tour?
We will see how it goes.
@@AMOKIAN Yes mate, he didnt fully retire i agree, his bday clashes with sunsets start date. He's too competitive to retire yet but his body might speak louder
Kelly is king and will be....
I agree mate, if he was in England, the Queen would give the thrown to kelly not charles lol
thanks for sharing
Your welcome mate. Gota share the cool spirit of our rad sport and help others gain some manna too
Legend ......❤❤😇😇
Incrivel, parabéns Slater!!!
The actual GOAT 🐐 surfer
That was amazing! The GOAT 🐐! Just an unbelievable feat. Can you imagine another person performing in a professional sport at the age of 50 at this level? I can't think of a single one....Tom Brady is another GOAT who played his sport much, much longer than most..
Well said thx mate. KS is humble, helpful and healthy, a great role model. Long live the GOAT's
The difference between Kelly and other sports people is they have opposition but Kelly has mother nature as well against him Kelly has a moment in time that will forever be history not just a champion but a truly unique human it's his moment but he shared it with the late Andy iron's and his partner and son what a great man
@@jaypalmer7358 >> I completely agree🤙
@@jaypalmer7358 Well said thx mate
So stoke to see KS take this one…. Nothing’s change still the king of pipe
Congratulations to the GOAT, Kelly! And by the way, 1972 called and wants their camera back.
The GOAT! Kelly Boy.
I like how Slater addressed Iron's son whereas the women finalists overlooked that part. Well done
Yes mate, he's a honorary man and get role model for our sport
Da Man ! Shredation 👍🌊
Too bad he won't be able to come to Oz and stay on a roll.😭😭
Yes mate, dam bodgy aus gov we have here. He has a house on the goldy too to quarantine in.
@@bryanthomas5019 that phrase is probably the most anti science thing you could say
Mate , I’m 44 The dude is a fuckin Trippa. So good 🇦🇺🤙
Ah, yer just getting started. This yank is 70 and still on a 6'3", waiting to give the Reaper a good swift kick in the balls on the way out.
Retire my ass! The king has way more to give
Bloody oath mate, i agree. I hope he hears you too lol
Except he didn't say he was retired...
Yes mate i agree, its close but not confirmed, he said its on his mind n will nut it out with the GF. His Bday clashes with Sunset's start day too on the 11th
Thank god!
I was sort of thinking he would retire because I don't think he will ever win another CT event, but it's Kelly Slater and he's a freak....Would be a good time to retire though.
GOAT.
Demais kelly
Cheers bro
Cheers mate from the vape of my clean strong cannabis lol
Such a bad ass. ❤️🤙
GOAT 🐐
Same camera that was used for those famous Nessie and Sasquatch videos.
lol, nice 1 mate. yah i do film with the same camera in BC, Canada
@@AussyCC nothing but love mate. Just a bit of fun 🙃
Shit the title of the clip scared the shit out of me, there’s no mentioned of retirement. He more than likely IS completing this year on tour.
I hope so mate, sunset start clashes with his 50th bday. Sry to scare u too
One of the greatest athletes of our generation. Maybe we will see you more in cocoa now..
GOAT
The youngest and older Pipe Master?
Great ! If he didn't clip his hair the lip would have got him.
He’s a gorgeous looking man
I more so like his cool healthy fun way of living. Great role model for our sport
Wtf
@@oregonchris8457 lol, i found that comment odd too mate lol. we r all stoked on kelly n his rad effort n someone says that. free speech is allowed and he aint racest lol
Still uncle status though KIA KAHA SLATER
Never mentioned retirement. Edit your title, that’s click bait!
It seems he did at 6 minutes, unless I misunderstood, but you’re right, certainly nothing definitive.
He wasnt clear, his 50th bday clashes with sunset mate. He will chat to his GF to see if he returns to the CT he said. His body might speak louder
@@AussyCC saying that you may or may not call it quits isn't announcing your retirement. You're either a bit slow or totally farming some clicks with a misleading title.
@@liberateyourslack Kelly said he has to talk his future over with his GF mate. A bit slow, if only u knew lol. I also passed motorization for this to WSL FYI. Thx for the comment.
How was that air drop
SICK
BJ Penn 4 gov
🐐. … .. . . . . …. .. .
he will def show up at sunset.
Hope so mate, late as usuall lol
being present - focus on being alive?
retirement?
Yah he better not a mate. Kelly did mention this at 6mins in the vid
recorded on an old potato phone
BUSTED....... lol
Lol 😆🤣😂
Did you literally hold a potato up to a phone screen to make this video?
yes
Couldn't help noticing the shit sparkling wine someone handed Kelly. Didn't need to be a vintage champagne, but wtf.
lol, i thought the same mate, poor effort for the champ
... ""my girlfriend" told me to breath!?"" Kelly hasn't married that chic yet!? She needs to move on. If he hasn't married you by now, it ain't happening sister! Come on Kelly, you're 50yo for God's sake! Anyhow, Congrats on the win and being vax-free!
Who cares…. It’s his life not yours
@@srfnma6813 of course. Just having fun. No mandates for the goat! Neither jabs or wedding bells, the goat is not a sheep!
Kaipo Guerrero is just a horrible interviewer. Where's Joel Turpel? Ronnie Blakey?
lol, he's ok i reckon, he tries and speaks the native tongue. Yah Joes got the rad surf knowlegde, Kaips gotz the stats, winning fantasy surf last year.
I used to think that but I’ve grown to really admire him, super smart and no one else’s would’ve got that interview straight to the heart like he did
I reckon he did a good job getting Kelly to open up, you can tell Kaipo is so stoked for him...they"re obviously good mates.
Click bait.
