More like every surfer that's not in the top 20. And I'm being generous. He surfs differently now, its not about points for him anymore. His feel and wave IQ is probably still numero uno. I suppose it depends on your persepective.
I’ve loved watching Kelly Slater surf for the past 25+ years. Never a surfer myself (baseball was my sport) I’ve lived just 40miles east of Cocoa Beach for 45yrs and remember seeing him surf before he turned pro. My wife, daughter and I just got back from the North Shore but unfortunately missed the competition by 2 days. He is the G.O.A.T. In surfing! Godspeed Kelly! Thank you for the years of excitement from one of your long time fans!
Of course by G.O.A.T., for those not familiar with the term it stands for Greatest Of All Time!. To do what he does, despite his past injuries makes him stand out that much more. And to top it off he seems like a humble, down-to-earth dude which makes he a perfect role model for youth of today. I sure as hell wouldn’t have wasted my time leaving a message for a Prima Donna like we see in most all other sports today. God bless to all who read this.
@@son_of_a_gunny8871 blessings . I grew up in Osceola County too . Started surfing an MTB in the 80s . Nova Rd , 520 - still beautiful. I surfed , soccer , basketball WR. Cocoa expo. All my cousins got schollys to play fast pitch soft ball- I became a soldier 3 months after 9 11
His ability to be perfectly positioned on the wave is unreal. Amazing how he knows when that lip is gonna fall. He gets out in front of it then pulls back to the face. Really cool
We actually met Slater in Oahu (Haleiwa) back in 2018. There were a couple of us hanging out and trying to catch a wave or two. We breaked on the beach and I think he was just heading out. We couldnt believe it, the greatest to ever do it was right there. We just made small talk about the wave conditions and asked for a picture. He was really cool about it, its like if he didnt even act like the greatest, he just acted like a regular guy who was about to surf. His down to earth attitude really stuck out. It was surreal to just see him out there like that, and that he talked to us mere mortals like we were just friends. All time great Kelly Slater!
@@jesussaves33 Yeah and Kelly reads waves like a professional pool player. He sees the whole table, not just the next shot. His ability to be in the right place at the right time is unparalleled. Of course there are a lot of unbelievable surfers but only one Kelly Slater.
Bet ur ass baby. cocoa bch/Merritt island ppl are awesome. I know cause I'm one of them. My kid sister ran around with many of same ppl as Kelly. But whenever his name came up she would roll her eyes, laugh n say, he's a great surfer, but he's so full of himself. I can't listen to the guy for more then a few mins. I'm thinking that was 20yrs ago. It appears he has grown up alot. He does not come off that way to me on camera. Of course I didn't hang out with any of these ppl because my sister is 17yrs younger then me lol. Sometimes I hate that it seems the good lord gave all the "great genes' , looks, personality, money, well known men chasing her. No I'm not naming names lol. We are originally from west palm bch, and we try not to name drop down there. But here in cocoa bch/Merritt island, it's a different world. When someone makes it here it's a big deal. We have Kelly n carrot top ( not sure we want to claim Carrot top these days lol).
People like him and tony hawk are such inspiration for people out there. To be able to still rip it like both them do it the sport they love and still be able to compete like kelly slater does is just amazing. Always thought I would be like them active into my 80s if lived that long. But nope paralyzed by time was 40. But seeing these guys doing the stuff like this at same age of me just shows me I need to get off my ass and figure how to make it bk to the beach somehow even with out use of my legs anymore
The next level power and speed a pro surfer generates, along the innate ability to read the wave of is phenomenal. It is beautiful and intimidating all at once.
He's a plane flying the wave on his terms. Or...a being, swimming in the air just above the sea, as if walking on water. Truly amazing talent, skill, and spirit.
thats the best part of the horizon. where the water meets the sky. the session at number six is amazingly beautiful. i cant think of anything that is more in tune with nature than to be out there like that. i want to learn so bad! im humbly jealous and in awe of all people that can surf. watching him surf and the others I've seen thus far always leaves me at a genuine loss for words. i seriously love just watching the waves, i dream of the day that I'd actually be able to ride one. and he's been doing it his whole life. one day...
@@surfersofbali right?? I did learned recently surfers use sticky wax to keep their footing. I’m looking forward to taking some surf lessons one day. Def want to hit up North shore to watch competitions.
More like 99.99% of all humans that have ever lived. His edge is that he can surf anything because he grew up in Florida and made small wave surfing an art form that transferred to bigger better waves nicely. Notice how he never wastes time getting into position and knows where he is going before the wave unfolds before him. He had no choice in Florida but to be quick. Amazing timing and vision. It's sickening how easy he makes it look everywhere he surfs.
Is it true that Lewis Hamilton was also in Bali from like March after F1 in Australia was cancelled last till summer? I see he got close to Kelly this year from Instagram, wondering if they got to know each other whilst in Bali?
The Doctor stuck his thing in both my holes and said, That's what a perfect ear looks like! My surfing and flying days are on the horizon! I just need a Buddy. 🌊
So assume he only caught 10 waves ? or the camera wasnt on the other 200? Id watch he so called not so good rides!! that would be great just watching hours of that !! lol Awesome MAN!!
His turns are so aggresive yet so elegant. And I love he > all the long hair blonde surfer dudes with his perfect symmetric aerodynamic bald head. Gives me hope as a fellow bald bro
Kelly's boards are his weakness when he is on a good board he looks smooth flowing here he is not on a good board. I saw him on a wave at trestles in a contest His flow and precision were 100% perfect like I say his boards are terrible sometimes.
To the person that makes these videos, they're perfect....no ridiculous music or talking...All Nature sounds...love-em!
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it! 😉🤙🏽
Your videos should be the template for all surf videos. You have an exquisite talent.
Yep not a fan of music. None of that studio rock music or techno 😂
Yes, I agree.
At 48, the GOAT still surfs better than 99% of all surfers.
💯👍

Yeah, the guy knows how to read a wave better than anyone.
He makes Paddling look so easy, 2 strokes and he's in to a Wave.
Yeah and notice how he doesn’t mind riding the wave in close because paddling back out through that shit is nothing for him.
@@MADTASS he is very strong
Plus perfect technique
God I wish I knew what y’all meant lol I’m trying to learn here
If he keeps practising he might make it in this sport.
hope u being sarcastic lmao
🙂🙂🙂
Oof
He’s pretty good
@@robertruge2916 Put your best 10 waves then😎

Slater is the best athlete that not many people have heard of. How'd he get this good surfing 3 foot waves in Florida?
👍👍
Bc if ya can surf 1 ft on shore slop, you can read waves better than most surfers who grow up in world class breaks 🌊

So sorry to hear what happened to your leg! 🙏🏾
#3, I thought he wiped out and then he just comes out like nothing. Freakin Amazing.

What did he do to not wipeout

Thanks for that escape. Great vid of the goat and beautiful bali 🤙🏽

I just took surf lessons last week in Sagres. Watching this is pretty amazing.
🔥🔥🔥
The KING doing what the KING does, shredding😉✌️❤️

He’s an absolute surfing machine, just superb 🙌🏼

Guys it’s Slater !!!! 🤙🏽48 years !!! 11 times world champ in surf !!!!👉🏽🏄🏼♂️the Dude🙏🏽
👍👍👍
Pure inspiration for all generations#3 The old innovator
🙂👍🏾👍🏾
Gotta love how pretty much nobody even paddles for the same wave as him. Slater turns around, everyone else "he can have it"
😁😁
It's like he programs those waves and knows exactly where and when to drop...still unbelievable
Man he's just a natural, and that roundhouse 360 he did, I thought he ate it and like Kelly does, he pulled it off... Unreal!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Best surfer in the world. No doubt.
😁👍🏾
He's got such great water sense! Fun to watch!!!
💯👍
DainG! how old is dis guy again.... still has flow, power and style! GOAT no doubt.
💯👍👍
Thanks for sharing, so cool to see ks in his way in Bali, great edit guys
Thanks mate 👍

It’s like he watch’s the wave 20 times and then
Rides it to perfection
Btw , would bet just nice to travel in these interesting times
💯👍👍
Number one may be the best ride I've ever seen 😜😂 SICK!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for showing me how easy it is to surf, Kelly. I’m going buy a starter kit and hit up all those spots 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha nooo😂😂😂

GOAT. Without a doubt. OMG. Correct me if you think otherwise.

2:00 - The best surfer, full control and speed, flyng in the wave ! #Replay !
💯💯
My daughters boyfriends dog a Maltipoo is named Slater after Kelly. Nicest pooch, loves everybody. A testament to Kelly Slater!
Even when he's late he's on time.
🙂🙂
It’s crazy how he can control his movement so well under those speeds

Happy new years all the best for 2021 - SOB
Happy New Year to you too 🤙

🦃 Have a nice Thanksgiving with your family. Enjoy.
Congrats for getting posted on the WSL website!
Thanks for letting us know, was stoked to see that 👍
I like how he attacks the critical parts of the wave in the pocket
💯👍👍
Actual 360 at 2:55. First time I've seen anyone pull it off. Amazing. (Aerials don't count.)
👍👍
That waS UnReal!
Was looking for it. Wouldn't be a top 10 for Kelly without it.
The Goat doing Goat things. Cheehoo.
🔥🔥🔥
#3 what am I looking at!?
Yo Brady! This the real GOAT!
🔥🔥
Slater had Gisele before leo & tom
He is the GOAT ♥️
💯💯
I thought was me on a couple or so of these waves just seen mean job kelly samples 😎🤙
🙂🤙
Still the best surfer in the world in my opinion
🙂🙂
Good job Kelly!!
Heck yea Kelly your the best
🙂👍🏽
Is it true that Lewis Hamilton was also in Bali from like March after F1 in Australia was cancelled last till summer? I see he got close to Kelly this year from Instagram, wondering if they got to know each other whilst in Bali?
I never saw Lewis Hamilton surfing in Bali, but it's possible.
He's harnessed the Old Hack...FINALLY🤣
Can someone please explain why the first guy didn’t make the drop but Kelly did?
3:03 Imagine getting a free surfing lecture from Kelly Slater out on the water. 💯🏄👨🏫
🙂🙂🙂
I was just asking him if he knew any good rub 'n' tugs
@@lyndonmcpherson2670 ROFL!!
effortless finesse
💯👍
This guy has a future, hope he sticks it out
💯
I liked #5 and #1 both happen to be on the same day on a 5'3"
👍👍
The Doctor stuck his thing in both my holes and said, That's what a perfect ear looks like!
My surfing and flying days are on the horizon!
I just need a Buddy. 🌊
2021=better
👍👍
Wow. How old is he now? 50ish?
would love the board his on. less rocker hard rails looks the goods.
The way this guy gets around sections, It’s like his board has a turbo booster. Lol
👍👍👍
And on the 7th day I watched Kelly ride the waves..............
🙂👍
He can make that surfboard talk!
Where was #8 ! ???
I'm a irons fan, but Kelly is cool I guess.
Haa I kid I kid Kelly is the man and will probably win another world title 🤙osss
🙂👍👍👍
kelly have you ever ride banana model in Bali?
He makes it look easy
💯👍
Epic!
🙂🤙
No one (neither today nor yesterday... ) has as perfect as powerful backside snap as Kelly Slater... Maybe Curren, Carroll or Occy get close...
👍👍
Occy and Andy Irons are the best back siders in my opinion.
2:08 - Casually wipes nose prior to lining up for the barrel.
SL8.
👍👍
He makes it look so easy thus it must be extrem difficult to ride that style
💯💯
0:51 Is that Gabriel Medina?
🙂🙂🙂
So assume he only caught 10 waves ? or the camera wasnt on the other 200? Id watch he so called not so good rides!! that would be great just watching hours of that !! lol Awesome MAN!!
Slater on Cymatic?
Un Dia si Dios quiere me bajare esas Olas de pechido BodySurf Perù.. saludos a la tribù del Mar..🌍🇵🇪🇺🇸🇮🇹🏊♂️🏄♂️😎😑🤣🤗✌👊👍
How often to surfers hit each other? He's doing speeds here that could defo knock you out
Not very often surprisingly.
His turns are so aggresive yet so elegant. And I love he > all the long hair blonde surfer dudes with his perfect symmetric aerodynamic bald head. Gives me hope as a fellow bald bro
💯💯💯💯
Kelly Slater is the master. No doubt about that. And still ripping with almost 50! But the only 10 was the #1. 😆
🙂👍
Beast
💯👍
Almost came out of that deeeeeep barrel!
thats Bodhi right there man
Looking at almost all the videos in this channel .. man he looks like he is surfing 100x times faster 😶
😁😁😁👍🏾
He, had some nice shared wave also, didn't he?
👍👍👍
Aquí desde España

master
He is a phoneomeal surfer,I remember him on Baywatch
Kelly's boards are his weakness when he is on a good board he looks smooth flowing here he is not on a good board.

어떻게 파도가 저러지? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ미쳣다
Did you see?!
🙂🙂
1:24 Yes dude you can say it : You surfed the same wave than Kelly Slater
Lol that first guy who went over the falls
Piss off mate I meant to do that. Slater gave paid me afterwards
Who came here after watching surfs up
😁😁😁
Not bad for a Florida boy.
There are great surfers, then there's the Florida Man
backside carve 360???
ターンのスピードがヤバい👍

Could use a hype track to it

Already got the best track
