Sort of, just be careful of what you can sacrifice to keep perusing success. I love Kelly and am a big fan but realised a couple of years ago the guy is a serious addict, seems to have endlessly kept perusing competition unnecessarily over personal/land life, remember an article where Kalani basically admitted to having to take a back seat to his surfing. Seems to have basically sacrificed creating a family for surfing.

@@Jay-ju9jw you are only proving my point, obsessing over the wsl, who really gives a sht about the wsl? I enjoy it sometimes but there are numerous reasons it is not that popular.

One of the best interviews of Mr. Slater I’ve ever seen. His dad treated him the same as mine did me, I was a national, state and city champion at different times. My dad never watched any of my contests. And only said he was proud of me once. It was tough life until that moment. Thank you Mr. Slater for teaching me so many valuable life lessons 🏄🏽♂️🏂🛹🏍️✝️👍🌅

Kelly is a great representative of the sport of surfing, he will always be the GOAT ! He should actually have 12 World Titles he got robbed that one year when he had to win the last Pipe contest to win the title and the WSL juiced Mick Fanning in the heat against Yadin Nicol which made him World Champ alot of people thought he lost that heat. And then Kelly went on to win the contest beating John John in the final in pumping 6-8 ft Pipe
@doomaphotos5 ай бұрын
So true. There is no way Mick should have been given the score he got to move on. I believe the judges were worried if slater won number 12 he would have retired and there are a lot of us that will stop watching the contests because he isn’t surfing in them.

I remember in the 90's, Kelly was at Rainbow Bay, and we were all out surfing one day and he was staying at the Greenmount Resort. My sister became friends with him, and we went over to his place once and watched a Western tv show of some kind. Next day I was out at Greenmount one day with my sister surfing, I had a CI swallowtail that Al shaped for me. It was glassed with a 6oz and 4oz deck. I was walking up the beach, and Kelly asked: "How do you like that board?" I said, " Ahh, it's a bit heavy, with a 6 & 4oz deck. " His response, which I will never forget... "Then you'll never know good the shape was." After that, I never got more than a double 4oz deck, or single 4oz with a 3/4 - 4oz patch. Simple words that stuck with me for the next 30 years.

Pretty epic interview. Kelly is a class act... very heartfelt and emotional. But I do wish they showed some of his impossible DEEP Barrels that resulted in PERFECT 10's. Let the audience really see and understand how incredible of a surfer he is. Obviously they know he's the best but man, seeing how great of a barrel rider he is, where you're watching the wave and you're thinking, no way, no way, no way is he gonna make this barrel, he's so deep inside the wave you can't even see him for like seconds... and again, you're like yeah see, I knew he wasn't gonna make that... Then another second or two later he comes flying out of an impossible barrel. Like he said, he does the IMPOSSIBLE.

48:05> He may have missed the way to enjoy all the things he spoke about here. not to late for him to get religious ,or may i put it another way in the verses below John 14:6 New International Version 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. < True Religion not the religion that is meaningless and has no foundation whatsoever that most think is religion but is not eg The Pope, Islam, John Chapter 10 The Bible 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. A Magnificent man has lived an extraordinary life but if he does not find the truth ( The creator is Jesus who made the waves for him to ride) He will leave this world and lose the life he sought to gain same for all of us Believe Jesus words and eternal life can be yours if you ask for it from him. Hope he finds the truth before it's to late for him.

His dad wasn't a full Syrian. His mom is of Irish descent I believe. I grew up with Kelly. At most he is 1/4 Syrian descent.
@@aerlial360 The media says his half Syrian
@@rossrose1534 Oh. Unfortunately it's not factual, however a lot of things are nowadays in information.
MOST POWER AND DISCIPLINE SURFER OF THE TIMES
so this was filmed like 5 years ago???
He also starred in Baywatch at slade 😂
🐐
Is this the Joe Buck of Joe Buck's Surf Shop?
This is the 2016 interview I am assuming ?
💯
See kiddies. You DONT need to pull umpteen bongs and skoll beer after beer to be a legend.
He’s ok
I wish he had more kids.
Everything’s impossible until it’s done.
Im pretty sure its 10. He was God long enough. Thank you K. Chris B. I stay home reading my Moms accounting books. Good author Dad is. Read it twice. 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Christ is. ❤
Nice hand he got dealt....🤙
He can’t talk w o saying “you know” and “like”
however i didn’t like the way he behaved with Andy Irons and the situation with Machado at Pipe
???😂
Slater and Irons were sworn competitive enemies, but had the utmost respect and administration for one another. Slater and Machado were best friends competing against one another, and truly stoked for one another externally, but deeply competitive inwardly. Is what it is, Machado could've kicked out and kept priority...
Machado and Slater in 1995 was a couple 20 year old dudes, close friends sharing waves at flawless pipe by themselves. One of the best heats in competitive surfing history.
He was over focused. Its called making good choices.

Really enjoyed the show*
Unmatched? Try Novak👌
Haha he’s no hero
@@tomeskdale2642 Relax braddah....I was kidding! But to answer your question "PERSPECTIVE"
That was a great interview, but it breaks my heart that Kelly doesn’t believe that the incredible things that he’s experienced and seen in his life, was given to him by our creator Jesus Christ!!!
surfing was better before slaters crew turned it into a soulless money grab,
48:05> He may have missed the way to enjoy all the things he spoke about here. not to late for him to get religious ,or may i put it another way in the verses below John 14:6 New International Version 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. < True Religion not the religion that is meaningless and has no foundation whatsoever that most think is religion but is not eg The Pope, Islam, John Chapter 10 The Bible 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. A Magnificent man has lived an extraordinary life but if he does not find the truth ( The creator is Jesus who made the waves for him to ride) He will leave this world and lose the life he sought to gain same for all of us Believe Jesus words and eternal life can be yours if you ask for it from him. Hope he finds the truth before it's to late for him.
He's what he is because of who he chose to be, n sorry but religion didn't make world champions like this actually the absence of religion did contribute.. Religion is man made, hence imperfect innately. A wave is not Originally at least Neither the sky above Nor the earth itself ... N being on that wave Is Truth More pure N God Mor real Than anything man made.. Though the KS wave ranch does ex is T
Sunny a great surfer not a great person, tragic ending after time in prison and various other problems
Did never talk garbage about your father you know da rules. He supported you my dad never did
Joe, you are one of the best interviewers on the planet, but you made me cringe when you used God's name in vain. It's disrespectful.
Joe Buck?? Stick to being the NFL’s worst annoucer…
Kelly is the King what a legend.This man is a real role model for any kid or man to follow.
Legend
