- Full Heat Replay of Kelly Slater vs Kauli Vaast at the Outerknown Tahiti Pro - Semifinals
The most critical wave in the world is now somehow more extreme than ever. Added to the mutant barrels, committed drops, and razor-sharp reef is the fact that Teahupo’o serves as the last fight for the WSL Final 5. The women get their first shot at the famed barrel in 16 years and the world’s best surfers get one last chance to lay it all on the line for a spot in the Rip Curl WSL Finals.

The judges blew it on that switch.
Nah, switch isn't that hard all it takes is a little practice. ppl think it's hard coz they never bother to practice it.
they sure did, and not just because it was switch either. just in general. same ol story from the wsl....
@@xisotopex what? Barrel wasn’t super hollow. Wasn’t a long barrel. Was kinda sectiony. All he did special was switch stances. This isn’t 1980s where an air 1ft off the ground is an automatic 10 lol . Go by the criteria.
No they didn't. If they start rewarding that crap with big scores. All you'll see is dumb kick flips, bad airs and things they think look cool. It's not good clean surfing.
Feel for Kelly, this heat is one he won't forget even though just making it to the semis in this contest was a big mountain to climb. Pretty much assumed Kauli would take it, he's phenomenal, pride of Tahiti and he now he has the honor of a 2nd in a CT event, taking out the Greatest surfer Of All Time. Hope he gets on tour sooner than later.
Wow Slater just didn't even show up 🤷♂️. Congrats to Kauli. 👏
Well I'm 50 years old now so you know I've got to pull for the goat. This kid took it to him though. Being able to switchfoot the way he does good lord. Killing it out there. RLTW 3/75
Slater openly says he overthinks too much. Humility teaches us all we can do is seize each moment gratefully and make the best of them. The world owes us nothing because we imagine we can "out-smart" than the next guy.
Would have liked to have seen this matchup in full size waves. Really had to expect Kauli to pull it off in sub par conditions on his home break. Great surfing though! For those dogging the numbers on the switch tube, I disagree. If he had ridden it on his feet that's one thing, riding it out on his knee/shin with the rear foot straight up, not worth full points in my mind.
Slater was switch footing backdoor in Momentum. Sick win for the Tahitian. I liked Kelly's after heat comments.
Where do you listen / watch his after heat comments?
@@kawakami7972 you can see all heats, interviews, awards, etc on wsl’s Finals day video right here on the tube
yeah I liked hearing from Kelly after - he's humble and knows there is never any guarantee. his game plan was just wrong, and he admitted it. takes absolutely nothing away from him or his career.
Não deu chance alguma , simplesmente amassou
The kid killed it that switch foot was out of control on seen that a few times used in contest in the late 90's early 2000..but the best at it was collins and achie a big pipe and use to pop airs switch foot was crazy..the judges have no idea
Kelly was pissed. he quit before heat started.
Local Boy ¡ Awesome. Hes Backyard Awesome Performance. ¡ 👍👍✌✌
Locals always rule the lineups. Congrats Kauli on an incredible performance.
Brazilians rule…lol Miguel 💪🇧🇷
@@saliseduardo4357 he was surfing sooo well! Much deserved win, and big congrats to Miguel!
@@thejonathanrathgreat event great performance🤙
@@saliseduardo4357 great event. And yeah mate, Brazil has been dominating. Hope Felipe finally takes the title this year. He deserves it!
Where were the waves?? All little inside grom waves for a finals day?? Weeeeird call....
Kauli could be next world champ if he can get himself in.
He even got Peter excited.
Kauli has the barrel weaving down - like nobody - at teahupoo at least, but can he do the front side layback snap and cutty like slater? Time will tell. Probably needs more practice at a poor location like cocoa beach, fl
Kelly may just have lost his GOAT status with this heat. No, not yet.
The wave @11:04 was WAY higher than a 8.5 - definitely - did you see how deep he was - that drop - how long it was and how fast he went - that was like a 9.8 (not that it mattered) - tho it is 2022 ...
The wave that started around 18:26 area was a 10 ++ are you kidding me - craziness. Judges need their heads checked up - take the Lion's Mane maybe. It's a joke guys - just a joke, but it was a 10++
Oh, and if slater has foot tension issues, I fixed mine a while back. I can't "prescribe" him anything, but I can point to things to research, and discuss things to avoid. Also re-strengthening the tendons. I know a lot more than you think. So, when does he get this advice? When he signs an NDA to discuss my big invention in person - that's when ...
Did Kelly throw the heat? Wtf happened
At the end of the day none of these new school aces will ever get close to what to Kelly has done, eternal W= slater
Exactlyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
Wow.. this is the flip side to the US open kelly / Yadin final from years ago..
dude switch should get rewarded like in skateboarding
Kauli did amazing but that’s not unexpected in less than ideal waves at a “home” break. He did some great surfing though! They should have waited for bigger waves especially for this location. Doesn’t make for good tv.
Surfou muito bem
Kauli’s switch backside barrel 🤘🤘
Yeah dude!
Brazilians rule 🇮🇩🏆✈️🇧🇷
Awesomeness yeeees!!!!!
Justice prevails after yago got robbed👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽
Gees get over it... you Brazzos never acknowledge when you lot get overscored
it's so good to see the god neptune pinching the owner of outerknown in the water.
Kelly levou um baile...
Damn slater what are u doing
Backside switch barrel was a 10 wsl judges fail again.
No sets for Slater. Frustrating but at some point you just gotta sit inside and get what you can get
Kelly was pissed. his pride took over. he wanted the director to delay the heat for hope of bigger waves. there were plenty of opportunities(Kauli proved that). disappointing.
Kelly-s wave was easily a 10 point ride!
No it wasn’t. Are you blind? The wave was small and the barrel was short. Slater was having snoozies while Kauli was ripping and getting criminally underscored.
@@theseb1979 Come on, baby... I was being ironic. Kauli broke all the event. He could be the champ, but Miguel was on fire and choose the better waves.
@17:11 whoa bro @ KS11 bro he totally got in ur head man. hard to compete w runners on pinchy backhand but if there’s anyone that could pull it off it’s you. Still kinda rooting for the underdog. I just always want to see good surfing and good competition and foam ball riding surprises 🤩✨👊🏼
@22:50 what planet am I on and how did I miss hearing about a switchBacksideBarrel in competition at Chopes holy cow man. Kelly, Bizzarro Kelly (Kauli) is totally trolling/trauling you bro. Ur still the best Kelly, I mean Kauli I mean goofy/regular …daaahhh 🤣😅🤯😶
part of me also kinda thinks that Slater was giving respect to the Locals and culture and letting some new blood come up (at first) then he realized how quick the energy can shift and how tough it is to reclaim it. At least Kelly didn’t start smashing his board or splashing like some brazen surfers have been known to do…
@@drewfinn2 For suuuuure!!!!!!
Kauli Vaast 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌊
Don't know to much about surfing but dude is lit
Put Kauli on the CT !!!!!
Kauli Vasst, grande promessa do surf mundial, parabéns!
Just a young kid. Kelly had nothing to lose. He's done so much more in life.....all this is...is just a surf contest....a job....not the real world....at the end of the day....a kid surfing and a man who is beyond just surfing.
KAULI STATER 😛😛😛 !!! DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS SUCH an EXCELLENT SURFER till this heat !
Guarantee this is the first and last time you hear about Kauli. He got some good ones and no that switch stance was not excellent material. It was definitely a bad call to have the semi's with no waves at one of the best waves on the planet. But hey, no one can say that Slater doesn't give back, cause he literally gave that heat to Kauli.
ps. I didn't even watch the finals.....Rubbish!)
That's the most stinky comment of the year... you win !!! Kook of the décade 🥕🥕🥕
@@renodaron889 Reno Donkey sounds catchy too!)🤣
Wait, you "guarantee this is the last time the world hears about Kauli?" W.T.F.?
I guess the green you grow has got you missing the show bro. If you weren't such a narrow minded hater, you'd see this single heat performance of Kauli Vaast has securely & permanently put him on the map for pro surfing.
Open your eyes kook. This 20 year old is just getting started & I guarantee, YOU will be seeing, hearing, & reading A LOT more about Kauli and the next generation of local crew that are owning teahupoo.
It's too late to save you from being such a water barney. I'm sorry about that little buddy.
But it's not too late to stop being such a hater.
The world will be much more clear & colorful,
allowing you to give some credit where credit is due.
Exactlyyyyy!!!!! He probably did what he did as a silent protest of the contest should have waited for bigger waves. Also, it set Nathan Hedge up for the win against Kauli Vaast, Kauli V, KV!!!!
Kelly gave it ? Great surfing but seemed odd
he quit before heat began. was bent at directors; wanted them to wait/delay heat start.
Wow , the greatest surfer in the world EVER got a total heat score of ...1.17 . If that doesn't end the most drawn out end of this guys time under the spotlight , I don't know what will.
Congratulations Kauli and super stoked for Miguel . Well done guys .
Kauuli some 10 surfing!!!!
Wow
What was Kelly smoking did he forget he was in a comp
No way !
Amazing surfing by Kauli, he earned that win but there's a lot more going on here. Kelly knows this spot and he doesn't just sit there in any semifinal. My take is that the local guys are ohana with Kelly for 30+ years. For Kauli to make it that far in the event, Kelly wanted him to win and supported that by laying down. There's also the business politics, can the Outerknown owner win the Outerknown contest? Kelly's only mistake was not making it look a little more believable.
lol
He should have scored higher on the switch foot, who can do that on tour?
kelly. loses. when their are no really good waves. the kid is great but Kelly never really. got a wave. it wasn't really a competition kauli is amazing. but if it were pumping. Kelly might have won
Exactlyyyyyyy, for suuuuureeee!!!!!
it's so good to see the God Neptune pinching the owner of Outerknown in the water.
Kelly was patiently waiting for the humunga calibunga from down unda!
Not the waves that should be surfed on a finals day.
that’s what Kelly said
Great job kauli.....
Just not worth watching especially in the semi..
Someone got paid alot of money for this....
Jersey #11 really! El even
Judges. Switchfoot. Totally missed what was going on there. He missed getting into the tube and pulled back into it. Are you not entertained!!! RLTW 3/75
Switch...nothing like that since Buttons!!!
At least the judges can't help when you don't catch the waves.
It’s like the old guy forgot he was in a semi. Thought he was having a free surf. Possibly early onset dementia?
it's so good to see the god neptune pinching the owner of outerknown in the water.
@@czarnpg Why? Did you h*te Kelly?
Slater must have took a few good hits from the Bong ,before paddling out for his heat .. Stone Temple Pilot 🤬
Funnyyyy, silly, funnyyyyy!!!!!
Not too difficult to work out what happened here.Kelly down tools and striking/protest.Should have waited for better/bigger waves.
How can they not reward him on that switch?
Switch should have been 10
Out with the old........
Kelly has nothing to prove, especially against a 20-year-old. We are talking about a local boy at his home break and that's where it ends. I understand that it's a big deal for this guy against Kelly, but Kelly won't see it the same way. He was waiting for a good wave and it never happened, so why grovel inside for all the WSL hype. It's quite interesting to see once the hype has died down.
That kid has all the tools and mindset to become a future world champion, congrats Kauli👏!
Slater got murdered.
Brazilians rule🇮🇩🏆✈️🇧🇷
Kelly got Felipe Toledo'ed
kelly never showed up...and Kauli never really need to get more than one wave..Crap conditions for the finals and semis.....should of had another day...guess everyones tired...its been a long tour
Kauli soit il reste dans le régime Polynésien en greffe France mais Surf sur l'histoire d'une vague TAHITI ITI
I think ppl disrespected Kelly , no one know the real reason why he didn’t catch waves , maybe because he had some agreement as sponsor, maybe as favorite for the local
But at age of 50 to stay at the top 10 for 30 years
I want to see this local kid make it on the tour let alone try to win world title
And even if he does
Try to get 11 of them.
Kelly wasn't interested! Advantage Vast, desperate to prove himself. There are better Surfers that didn't get the chance. It's all about where you liv. FULL STOP!
so the wsl once again judges to achieve a predetermined outcome, rather than having surfing ability be the reason....
They should have never run the men's semi finals in these crap waves.
3-4 2 wave sets in 30mins not even fun to surf💤
Kelly does not like the smaller insiders
Kelly tired
Slater got his humble payback check today
Humble payback check? Kelly is literally the most humble man in earth. Never seen him talking bad about anyone or anything. What are you talking about?
Kelly was surfing around the world as a teenager, riding Pamela Anderson in her prime and winning eleven world titles... and you weren't.
@@DanTheFireman Plastic Pam he can have her. I see way better looking women at wallmart on any givin day.
judges can surf switch foot so the are jealous
o cabeça de ovo deixa eu de fazer outra pergunta se acaso vc cair na onda vc nada ou vc deixa a onda de levar
Kelly didn't give him anything
Wtf happened kelly!
@@bleyerexperiences He gave it away
@@kristoffersmith8289 disappointing
Bald guy's 10 came later that day......
The waves were TERRIBLE!
If you got a wave like Kauli got in the semi against KS , youd buy everyone on here a round of drinks . Go back and watch it .
Not for Kauli Vaast 🌊🔥🚀
Fark Kelly retire already :)
Seriously. Kelly didn't deserve to be in the semi. His last wave in the quarter was over rewarded in points. I think Kelly did something greater than win, there is no doubt Kelly could have paddled for some of those waves Kauli got. Kauli used his waves to the maximum and would have been hard to beat for anyone but Kelly get 0.00... naaa.
Something is wrong here
Kelly did it on purpose
Totally abnormal to be in the semis without catching à wave as an eleven times world champ.
You can't wait for waves that won't come anyway.
You had to play the game just as the tahitian did.
Big disappointment.
Time to retire ???
it's so good to see the god neptune pinching the owner of outerknown in the water.
There were literally 4 waves in 30 minutes. And Kelly still get victory, semi-final, heat wins at 50 years old. Go see the Outerknown episodes. There is one where Kelly is afraid of retirement because there are a lot of people like you talking bad about him and keep silence when he win. Look what he does to keep people like you away. Look what he does during days meanwhile you're sit in front of a PC writing things like this. You need an humble paycheck. Trust me.
Couldn;t agree more . Slater can only perform at pro level in perfect 6 - 10 foot surf . Any smaller he doesn't have an air game , any bigger . . . his body is too old . Time to fade KS .
wtf restart the heat
Kelly surfed like a 50 year old man, slow slow unaware, no fire looked tire and old, compared to a 20 year old young lion and hungry
Yeah, a slow slow unaware 50 year old man who had just won his 8th Pipeline.
retire
Alex, he won Pipe this year. maybe wait until he stops winning and/or making semis
it's so good to see the god neptune pinching the owner of outerknown in the water.
This is like Brazil vs Germany 7-1…lol
When he is still spanking alot of surfers on tour and still fun to watch when the waves are pumping, why retire unless your over it.
I can't understand what Kelly did ! He has let kauli won... Has he been paid for that ? Unbelievable 😮
