@@GIF_CANCEL Yeah, but not like the North Shore or Kauai was in the 70’s and 80’s. And places like Silver Strand, Hollywood Beach, Hueneme, IB in San Diego…? F-ing terrifying back then. Stabbings and shootings on the regular. You were lucky if you only got beat up or your windows broken. The Oxnard guys glassed razor blades into the noses of their boards and would shoot them at people. It was them, the Lunada idiots, and a guy in Hueneme that forced the courts to step in and create the “surf rage” laws we have now. That’s why breaks barely get regulated anymore. Those idiots ruined it for everyone, themselves included🤦🏼♂️🤬 I know the whole country was having problems with violence back then but California was next level.
Surfing was so different in the 90's. I had so many experience of aggression. It's just the way it was. Or at least in Florida or on the east coast of the US.
Kelly you are my hero, friends and family say I am your elder twin … bald is beautiful ! Now only if I could surf 1/16th as good as you, at one point in my life I may have been 1/4 as good , some day I hope to meet you in person 🤙🏼😎
yes, Andy was a great surfer. and yes he had a substance problem. but the more time passes we are all finding out how much of an a××hole he really was. he was more than what I thought. interesting.
Right that's what I just said. People are honoring this guy and he's one of those dickheads that only his friends like. He created a rivalry with kelly for no reason. WTF.
It was a different time though. With localism and partying hard and the guys we all grew up looking up to were some assholes too. Now it's corporate with drug testing and it's way softer.
Andy was definitely flawed. I grew up with and around a lot of these guys. Some were really cool, some were (and still are) really awful. It’s a broad spectrum. The 80’s and early 90’s were probably the worst overall for really ugly egos. Andy? He was an even mixture of all the good, bad, and occasionally ugly. The few times I chatted with him he was always cool, tho. I guess it all depends on the variables.
PR is a pretty big guy. He had a major size and reach advantage over Kelly and most of his peers. Hardly an even match. He’s huge now. Maybe you’d like to take a crack at him🤔🤷🏼♂️
i would say yessir! how the hek can he be so gifted & not be wise enough to SEE how insane Christ is…. wether u believe the greatest bull-shitter to ever live or God-come-to-earth, ya cant deny it…& his bio is pretty intimidating HA!
for instance, this story here…is it really worthy of repeating? perhaps, as it shows that tbe only surfer who possessed a better surfing STYLE than kelly was not just a bone-head but a deep, brotber-from-anotber-motber kinda dude
#sterlingspencer has the funniest podcast and he shares real stories about #kelleyslater, I didn't realize not many surfers like him. #AndyIrons shouldn't have apologized
Let's be honest Andy Irons was a POS. Creating a rivalry with Kelly for no freakin reason what-so-ever. Dude was an all time surfer but not the best human. And a drug addict to go with it. Sad.
“For no freakin reason” no dude they were the 2 best surfers to ever grace the planet, that’s exactly what a rivalry should be, they pushed each other to be even better
One of the best rivalries ever. Not sure if you will see another one at this level ever again.
oxy is a hell of a drug..
Kelly Slater is bald?
Very good. Laugh outloud funny.
As a matter of fact, a lot of bad things usually happen when you're drunk
...as a bald guy, I didn't process it either and I know how Kelly Slater felt 😂😂😂😂
Andy Irons was drunk and acting belligerent, Kelly always calm and smart
"we got really drunk"
If Slater had been raised on Kauai he would have been a very different person.
@@shacktime Cocoa Beach used to be a rough place

@@knogface fanboi fails to here what hurts. Slats aint as pure as everyone thinks he is
Andy was so gnarly and had such a big heart at the same time. Never forgotten AI❤🙏🏼
80's, 90s surfing was pure drugs, alcohol and aggression. Surfers were built different back then too
Depression too
Andy was really such a compassionate , emotional human being. So tough cuz he was really eaten up at that point. What a sad, sad story.
I didn’t know your dad died…sorry, otherwise my behaviour was just fine. 🤔
Andy was a great surfer but had some real issues
Surfing was so different in the 90's. I had so many experience of aggression. It's just the way it was. Or at least in Florida or on the east coast of the US.
They were all racing to be the coolest so they were spiteful towards sharing.
it wasn't just surfing, that was just the culture then
Thank you for that insight 🙏 used to live with the irons clan respect 🙏 Kelly
Hahaha I heard about this story yeeaarrs ago but didn't know the details. I grew up so inspired by both of these guys
Florida boy...slater 🐐....AI was the man tho...we all have problems rip AI
Knowing when to keep the pie hole shut is important.
Andy vs Kelly was the last great surfing rivalry that would occasionally get heated. Glad they squashed it before Andy passed away
Wait Kelly’s bald?
Kelly you are my hero, friends and family say I am your elder twin … bald is beautiful ! Now only if I could surf 1/16th as good as you, at one point in my life I may have been 1/4 as good , some day I hope to meet you in person 🤙🏼😎
I’ll take a what you said never happened for 500

@@SF-wr4zn 🤙🏼
This man is an icon!
Does anyone know where to find the full interview? 🤙🏼🤙🏼
At least you have a good egg-shaped head dingleberry and that's from a Florida boy
😅😅😅😅
Kelly doesn't drink, right? I read that in pipe dreams
He doesn’t. He’s very healthy at 52(?) and has a baby on the way. ❤
Nothing good happens when you are drunk
andy sounds super unstable emotionally
Bi-polar. That will do it.
@@ryanw724 not funny, not at all
Ai forever!
Your a legend mr slater
Congratulations to the Slater and his lady . AI forever.
Andy was likely more than drunk
Kelly is gangster
Don't let it worry you GOAT look where your at &where he is,mostly the good looking lose their hair,too much worry about what to do with all the 💰💰💰🤙👍
A REAL moment
Did he just refer to andy as mike?
Mike HAWK
The GOAT kicked that ass, Right?
🌊The G-MAN,peace+love 🤙🏽🏴☠️
Devil in the bottle.
Kelly 11 world .....
I never knew the whole story but it's a broment 🤙🤙
They never hated each other
❤❤❤
WTF?
Kelly is the GOAT . Andy is now surfing perfection in heaven RIP 🙏
Thanks for this 🤙
Who is this guy
LEGENDS❤❤
He got knocked all over by Paul roach on momentum
PR is a pretty big guy. He had a major size and reach advantage over Kelly and most of his peers. Hardly an even match. He’s huge now. Maybe you’d like to take a crack at him🤔🤷🏼♂️
100%
Girl fight
Just another reason to ❤ A.I 🙏
Loved Slater , but his short coming is he doesn’t believe in Christ ,
Never mentions God!
i would say yessir! how the hek can he be so gifted & not be wise enough to SEE how insane Christ is…. wether u believe the greatest bull-shitter to ever live or God-come-to-earth, ya cant deny it…& his bio is pretty intimidating HA!
come to think of it, hes doesn’t sound exceptionally smart. not saying he’s a dummy but his banter dont conjure a master…exceptfor the wave
for instance, this story here…is it really worthy of repeating?
