This interview may have saved my life. HUGE swell came in last year, I went out, dropped in on a steep face, ate it, got the wind knocked out of me, then got sucked up into the curl, got slammed deep under water. Out of breath and disoriented from hitting the water so hard and getting churned, I had no idea which way was up or down and started to panic. Then remembered what Kelly said in this interview and grabbed my leash to see which way was up, and pulled on it as fast as I could to get to the surface. If I didn’t pull on that leash, highly likely I would’ve drowned. Felt like a kook later but heard a friend had a near drowning experience as well that weekend. Had a newfound appreciation for life after that! Great interview; Slaters a legend
@@suntsu3941 most surfers that go there pray for Saint Nazare. Like a religion to give motivation when you are on the sea , miracles. Its a coast so its very very dangerous. Wave and baam rocks. Most say if you dont respect her you going to die
He holds nearly every significant record in the sport, with 11 world titles, 55 event victories, and the record for being both the youngest and oldest men's world champion. Slater claimed his first world title as a 20-year-old in 1992, and won his last at 39 in 2011 The fact that he didn't compete for a few of those years is even more impressive.
@@DavidFosdick correct, Kelly is far superior and dominant in his sport as well as the greatest athlete of all time in all of sport. Your claims are not a close comparison.
I've tried it and love it. I just love the way Joe says it more!! Yoooga dude. After 30 years of surfing though, I've never done it on DMT but I'm keen to try it micro dosing mushrooms as I think it would reduce hesitation and improve my timing. Have to give it a go!
The AN-2, Beaver, and many Alaskan bush planes can fly controllably between 20-30kts, so they can't quite go 20mph, but 23mph is possible. They normally land on sand bars in the middle of rivers in alaska, and only need 100 feet or so for a safe take off.
I've never heard of Kelly Slater and while watching this I thought to myself that he's extremely well spoken and humble. Then I did a little search on him and found out he's a living legend in the surf community. I do feel that sport being so dangerous and extreme does bring a lot of humility in the people that practice it.
I grew up a few minutes drive from the Wedge. It's very difficult to explain the power of large heavy waves to someone who has little or no experience in that environment, but as strange as it might sound after getting a serious pounding I have never felt so alive. You have to completely let go of any sense of control and trust your instincts. It's very humbling.
I was a boogie boarder as a kid in Port Elizabeth Africa in the 1980's and the remnants of a very big storm went through the Transkei and down the coast clipping PE . If you look at a picture of Humewood beach there is an old slipway with six concrete blocks going deeper. The waves were hitting the top of the concrete blocks and the spray went another ten foot above that. From sea to top of the block depending on tide is anything from 15ft to 20ft. I got dumped so badly I lost a flipper and my boogie board , that was not the hard part , the hard part was the other four waves in the set equally as big
I use to cut out the athletes in sports illustrated mags when I was a kid and put them on my wall. First time I heard of Kelly and he looks the exact same. This was like at least 14-15 years ago 😂
Biggest wave I surfed was in NZ and it was 7ft. It closed out on me and I felt like I was falling off a building. I’m not a great surfer, 7ft was scary and your right. 50ft is unimaginable.
@@cameronhall6733 I've surfed 15ft waves and I understand completely. From the shore when it's like 8ft you think its small and fun but as soon as you start paddling out you start shitting yourself. Looking over waves that are 7ft is like looking over a building. Think of it like on a tall person's shoulders
One time I was in punta Cana drunk out my mind and two waves hit each other/ combined and it was probably around 15-20FT high and it took me from so far out right to the beach flat lined got winded
@@cameronhall6733 biggest wave ive surf was about 8-9ft in NZ, theyre very fun waves to catch and have so much power behind them but it sucks when you wipeout on them. The beach that i usually surf usually is like 3-6ft waves but from the lulls ive experienced there are crazy too, would go dead flat and then youd have 9footers in your face.
Secondary drowning occurs when you still have salt crystals in your lungs and your lungs start filling themselves with fluid to flush the crystals out, causing you to drown in you own fluids. People have gone home after they've been resuscitated and then drowned in their sleep. Thats why you should always stay the night at a hospital for observation after a near drowning, just in case.
I thought that it can also happen in fresh water, your lungs can absorb a certain amount of water whilst you're awake, but when lying down asleep it can come back out into your lungs
Swoop I'm guessing since you know this interesting info you may know wether they pump your lungs out which I doubt Im guessing they would use a "Diuretic" do you know? PS: TY for the info.
Some years ago when he was on Baywatch I saw Slater surf Windansea in one of our Expression Session contests for Windansea surf club. He nailed every turn as expected. He came in from his heat and Pamela Anderson was waiting on the beach for him. He seemed like the happiest guy on the planet.
Kelly: “so my mate drowned and it was super heavy on my emotions” Joe: “yeah how crazy are ear infections! when you get an ear infection and you can’t walk properly and slipping all over the place lol!” Kelly: “yeah, then another one of my mates drowned pretty bad” Joe: “wow, wow, shwwwow you must see a lot of crazy stuff IN the water, amazing amounts of fish!”
It was DK walsh that saved Greg Long. He drove his ski in between waves and heroically jumped off and ditched his ski and bear hugged Greg's body. Others helped in the rescue but it was DK's act of bravery that made the difference.
Slater: You still keep your sense of up and down. You lose it a bit, but you still sense up and down. Rogan: So do you lose your sense of up and down? Slater: Yeah
yeah mentally you have totally lost your positioning but there are still visual and physical queues from your body that tell you if you are upside down. so yes you lose that sense a bit but in the bigger picture you can still correct yourself and therefore dont totally lose your senses
No go listen to it again. Kelly said you still have your sense of up and down while the wave is crashing and you’re about to get smashed on the reef. Joe then asked if you can lose your sense of up and down after you have been smashed, which you can.
I'm Canadian, so when people ask me what surfing is like I describe it like this: It's like snowboarding; if you started out laying down, with no bindings, in the middle of an avalanche, with random bears just chilling in the snow around you.
I got to meet Kelly on the shores of Hawaii back in 2011. Dude is so nice and welcoming to approach. He was constantly hassled by a lot of tourists and still never got upset.
Some key points of his diet; Kombucha Fasting Almond milk and fresh fruit smoothies Traceable Organic food. There are more videos about his health habits for those interested, he is likely one of the healthiest 40+ year olds on the planet.
Surfed with Kelly (there was about 10 guys out, early morning) on the North Shore, at Pipeline, in 1995 after he won his first World Title. Super cool dude. He was friendly and talked story with most of the guys in the line-up, in between sets. It's easy to tell that Rogan doesn't really understand surfing, but that's fine because he's always open to learning.
Kelly is really good at explaining the sport to Joe here. Oh by the way THATS FUCKIN AWESOME surfing with Kelly bro, I’ve been down to Sebastian Inlet FL and he was just checking it as I was about to paddle out with my brother!
I lived near this one dude not far from laguana beach who liked to surf. His name was Bohdi. Bad dude. He liked robbing banks and jumping out of airplanes.
Love watching Kelly on the North Shore at Pipe. Was able to see J.J.F. heads up a few months back at the Billabong Pro. Seen some massive swells at Ehukai
If you ever met Kelly Slater in person, he is the coolest most humble nice guy you could ever meet. I only met him a couple time's in cocoa beach but he is really cool. One time my friend, a short, overweight girl was down at the pub, a small bar in cocoa beach and kelly just happen to be sitting next to her. She started talking to him about some small band she likes that was going to be there they following week and when it came time, he took off from his busy schedule and came there and watched the band with her. She was really surprised and her smile war ear to ear when she told me about it. I have nothing but respect for that guy. A real gentle man. I think about her every time I see him. He is VERY loved in his home town.
google Google actually, an excessive amount of sun exposure accelerates aging and wrinkles. It takes a lot of skin care, hydration, and consistent use of sunblock to prevent it. Just look at old surfers and fishermen. Kelly is definitely an exception.
@google Google you are clueless, you should not be calling anyone a dumb ass. Salt water, sun and wind literally erode planet earth and change entire landscapes..... great for the skin though, super exfoliating 👌.
@@BigCam.31 saltwater is good for skin but when mixed with the sun, I’m surprised this dude isn’t looking like a handbag. The ocean acts as a mirror and reflects/concentrates a lot of that solar energy into whatever is on the water
Awesome. Kelly Slater. Big name growing up in Santa Cruz CA. Always went out to watch these guys Surf when I was young. Get it boys! Great interview. Thankyou!
The fact that Mark Foo, an Hawaiian known for his ability in seriously big waves, died surfing Mavericks should tell anyone who has never paddled out just how dangerous the ocean can be. Personally, going over the falls backwards must rate as one of the single worst experiences of my life - you basically get waterboarded, particularly if a second set holds you down - but the addition is so strong that few surfers let bad wipeouts deter them. Far more likely to be attacked by a shark if you are surfing the east coast of Australia in 2020 but that's a whole other discussion.
@@matthewhawker2237 True enough - although anyone surfing in SA must know the risks. WA also seems to have a reputation for big sharks, but I've never been there so I'll leave it to the locals.
Oh man! I can relate. Lived in Santa Barbara and surfed big waves in the winter. 10-12 feet sometimes. 2xs sucked over the falls backwards! Super scary. Thought I would die. Almost drowned at jalama. 25 ft. But never got super hurt. God was protecting 🙏 me. Thank you Jesus!
What an educated guy. So interesting to hear him discuss oceanography. One time I feel over a big swell at Crystal Cove Newport Beach. Fell on my head, backed out, woke up in the water and breathed in water. Woke up grunting and had to be pulled out of the water. Scariest moment of my life. Had to go to the hospital. Be safe in the ocean guys!!
“What an ‘educated’ guy?” Are you serious?? 😂😂 When the guy talks about anything other than surfing, he sounds like the most UNEDUCATED and dense guy I’ve ever heard! It’s one thing to recognize the guy’s amazing competitive surfing career, but then to make such a ridiculous claim that he’s so “educated” is laughable. It’s also factually false. He’s not educated beyond high school.
Have huge respect and admiration for you Mr Slater! Have watched you surf since you were little. I remember my first surf trip to Costa Rica in 1987 and you were there I think with Quiet Flight surf team and knew you were something special. I'm from Titusville. I heard an interesting reason recently why some surfers are drawn to ride death defying big waves. I have always assumed most of you are adrenaline junkies but what I heard recently from a well respected spiritual teacher is what keeps surfers and other death defying thrill seekers chasing these huge waves around the globe is, without realizing it, maybe some of you do, is because you must have laser sharp focus while riding giant waves so must be totally awake and in the present moment and cannot for a split second lose that focus on the present moment because that is such an amazing feeling that lots of people spend their whole lives trying to truly be in the present moment and if you lose that focus for a split second could mean death. Some people meditate for years before finally are able to step out of their minds into the present moment. Makes sense to me. And when you mentioned Cortes Bank I had a poster on my bedroom wall for years, wish I still had it, of Mike 'Snips' Parsons riding a giant wave there.
Exactly. If I'm listening to a big wave surfer, I want to hear what its like to surf a big wave, or if a guy has a run-in with a grizzly bear, I want to hear about the run-in. Not Joe Rogan interrupting with these pointless sidebar comments. Get a clue, Joe. People aren't tuning in to listen to you.
"Like a hood ornament on a Freight Train!" I've heard that Kelly is one of the most down to earth and humble GOAT's ever! Actually it's his interviews that give me that impression mostly but I do have a good friend that knows him a little!
My first time in Hawaii was amazing and a little scary all at the same time. My wife and went on our honeymoon and we met my brother there to attend his wedding on a private beach. A hurricane hit Fiji that week resulting in fast winds. 3 people died 1/2 a mile from us while wind surfing and the next day we went to Pearl Harbor, only to find out that a helicopter tour crashed near the Arizona and a young boy got pinned amd drowned in the accident. Crazy turn of events, but it showed me that place can be beautiful and terrifying all at the same time.
crazy bit is that waves don't have to be big for a lot of that stuff to happen. the bigger the wave the greater the chances are of doom, but i never surfed anything bigger than double overhead (mostly in hawaii) and saw, or personally experienced, a lot of what mr slater mentioned.
25 years ago I got speared in the ear by the board and split my ear in half, 15 stitches and a plastic surgeon to put it back together. Worst thing was it happened in the morning and I didn't get it fixed until later that night because I had to travel to 3 different hospitals because no doctors wanted to attempt it.
On 2 November 1985 the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) struck the Cortes Bank reef about one mile east of Bishop Rock, putting a 60-foot (18 m) gash in her outer hull on the port side, ripped off her port keel, and severely deformed her outboard port propeller blades. She continued operations, then went into dry dock in San Francisco at the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard for repairs. Thanks wiki
Secondary drowning is a term people use to describe another drowning complication. It happens if water gets into the lungs. There, it can irritate the lungs' lining and fluid can build up, causing a condition called pulmonary edema. The signs of secondary drowning (dry drowning) are: lethargy or extreme fatigue. difficulty breathing. irritability or mood swings. chest pain. shortness of breath. persistent cough. fever. Hope that helps.

Kelly’s skin is pretty good for decades of being on the water
google Google actually, an excessive amount of sun exposure accelerates aging and wrinkles. It takes a lot of skin care, hydration, and consistent use of sunblock to prevent it. Just look at old surfers and fishermen. Kelly is definitely an exception.
Kelly is a byzantine. He was born for the water
@google Google you are clueless, you should not be calling anyone a dumb ass. Salt water, sun and wind literally erode planet earth and change entire landscapes..... great for the skin though, super exfoliating 👌.
@@BigCam.31 saltwater is good for skin but when mixed with the sun, I’m surprised this dude isn’t looking like a handbag. The ocean acts as a mirror and reflects/concentrates a lot of that solar energy into whatever is on the water
@@candidlyopinionated19 not true. Not for people of color. Only you guys
Micheal Jordan is the Kelly Slater of Basketball.

Awesome. Kelly Slater. Big name growing up in Santa Cruz CA.
Always went out to watch these guys Surf when I was young. Get it boys! Great interview. Thankyou!
Wish this part of the interview was longer. Kelly's an excellent storyteller.
Joe “I love having other bald men on my podcast” Rogan
hahahahahahaha...true!!
Joe Rogaine
WHAT A BALD CONVERSATION!
Not 1 hair in site
Baldylocks and the three hairs
Dude looks gud thooo
😅😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
lmaooo
I wouldn't argue with anyone who claimed Slater the most dominate athlete of all time.
Kelly is just the best, not even a surf fan but he is special and his surf game on the gamecube was my childhood, much respect to Kelly!
Kelly looks amazing for 46 years old.
No shit, all that sun hasn't aged him
@@travisl9201 the sun is the biggest factor in facial aging, that is in no way something that's "no shit"
Hans M you're crazy. Take a break from the Internet.
Hans M wrong connotation.. it’s the agreement no shit.. not the condescending no shit
Holy shit he's 46!!??
Awesome to see kelly slater on the podcast
The fact that Mark Foo, an Hawaiian known for his ability in seriously big waves, died surfing Mavericks should tell anyone who has never paddled out just how dangerous the ocean can be. Personally, going over the falls backwards must rate as one of the single worst experiences of my life - you basically get waterboarded, particularly if a second set holds you down - but the addition is so strong that few surfers let bad wipeouts deter them. Far more likely to be attacked by a shark if you are surfing the east coast of Australia in 2020 but that's a whole other discussion.
Or the south and western coasts
@@matthewhawker2237 True enough - although anyone surfing in SA must know the risks. WA also seems to have a reputation for big sharks, but I've never been there so I'll leave it to the locals.
Mavericks is a heavier water and has a higher danger rep
Oh man! I can relate. Lived in Santa Barbara and surfed big waves in the winter. 10-12 feet sometimes. 2xs sucked over the falls backwards! Super scary. Thought I would die. Almost drowned at jalama. 25 ft. But never got super hurt. God was protecting 🙏 me. Thank you Jesus!
Thank you for the video! All of you friends are super awesome! Oh, moments in this video are sad.
Great episode. Love Kelly Slater. Good to see he is still doing well! 🤙🤙
Two classy guys who keep it real. Great interview. Hoping to find a part two.
I've watched a few of these with Kelly Slater and he is a really good story teller.
Awesome stories. Rich in detail. Told by a quick-minded surfer. So engaging!
Looking back at old stuff,this fella is cool. Really likeable. Great cast.
Not only is Kelly the absolute GOAT, but he charges the heaviest pits in the world. He’s like a cat - makes the vast majority of drops. Legend. 🤙🌊👏
Some local at Cocoa Beach called him an "alien" he's that special.
“Alien” Freak of Nature” yeah thats him,,
Yes Kelly, such a great rep for surfing, good stuff Joe Rogan! J.Reed from Brevard county
2:57 Joe just wrote a hit song right there
I am equally impressed by the rescuers on jet ski maneuvering around the waves. If you mess that up you have a 400kg object flying at you.
What an educated guy. So interesting to hear him discuss oceanography.
One time I feel over a big swell at Crystal Cove Newport Beach. Fell on my head, backed out, woke up in the water and breathed in water. Woke up grunting and had to be pulled out of the water. Scariest moment of my life. Had to go to the hospital. Be safe in the ocean guys!!
“What an ‘educated’ guy?” Are you serious?? 😂😂 When the guy talks about anything other than surfing, he sounds like the most UNEDUCATED and dense guy I’ve ever heard! It’s one thing to recognize the guy’s amazing competitive surfing career, but then to make such a ridiculous claim that he’s so “educated” is laughable. It’s also factually false. He’s not educated beyond high school.
In most sports there is debate over the GOAT, in surfing there is no comparison to this man.
Chip yard
Yeah Kelly is Legend.. he also has made the worlds best "rideable" wave machine.. fucking brilliant
Kelly met his match with Andy Irons. Unfortunate, he didn’t live long enough to accomplish longevity like Slater did...
How about Gretzky in hockey
Curren didn't win 11 titles but still considered the GOAT by some. Kelly might agree.
@@jaidemmon3745 totally my friend. Tom Curren should be in that discussion. Kelly would probably agree.
I got hit by my skimboard on the ankle one time, my ankle hurt for like 3 days! I feel you Kelly gotta watch out for the board bro
Have huge respect and admiration for you Mr Slater! Have watched you surf since you were little. I remember my first surf trip to Costa Rica in 1987 and you were there I think with Quiet Flight surf team and knew you were something special. I'm from Titusville. I heard an interesting reason recently why some surfers are drawn to ride death defying big waves. I have always assumed most of you are adrenaline junkies but what I heard recently from a well respected spiritual teacher is what keeps surfers and other death defying thrill seekers chasing these huge waves around the globe is, without realizing it, maybe some of you do, is because you must have laser sharp focus while riding giant waves so must be totally awake and in the present moment and cannot for a split second lose that focus on the present moment because that is such an amazing feeling that lots of people spend their whole lives trying to truly be in the present moment and if you lose that focus for a split second could mean death. Some people meditate for years before finally are able to step out of their minds into the present moment. Makes sense to me.
And when you mentioned Cortes Bank I had a poster on my bedroom wall for years, wish I still had it, of Mike 'Snips' Parsons riding a giant wave there.
i knew u were from brevard when u said quiet flight
1:44 I'm sorry. I know I'm immature but I did laugh
Hahahahaha!!
Dude.. Thank you
Bahaha
It made me think of Beavis saying something then Butthead says shut up Beavis
Lmao I think I'm getting old I didn't even notice that :'( thank you haha
Slater #legend #respect!
I want to see Joe do a podcast about nuclear warheads. Mostly because I want to see his reaction to how large Tsar Bomba is
Best interview honestly
You have to interview this legend again 🤙
Joe “ can I interrupt by inserting something less interesting” rogan
Bang
Lol! Soooo ANNOYING!!
Exactly. If I'm listening to a big wave surfer, I want to hear what its like to surf a big wave, or if a guy has a run-in with a grizzly bear, I want to hear about the run-in. Not Joe Rogan interrupting with these pointless sidebar comments. Get a clue, Joe. People aren't tuning in to listen to you.
goddamn yall bitch and moan about everything lmao
@@broadcasttttable why u got to be so miserable. It’s the JRE for a reason matey
The fuq, training dragons... The story was just getting good.
"Like a hood ornament on a Freight Train!" I've heard that Kelly is one of the most down to earth and humble GOAT's ever! Actually it's his interviews that give me that impression mostly but I do have a good friend that knows him a little!
So humble. "That's me right there, sorry I didn't make that". The 🐐
Surf community.. "we all know each other".
Hehe. I've surfed for 28 years now. Can we be friends Kelly?
"GET PITTED BRAH!"🤙
DonD512 🤣🤣. That Local TV interview. 😎
DonD512 smack the lip whoopat!
Soooooooooo pitted.
Man these are gnarly stories! I'm a skater 🛹 but I still have mad respect for surfing!
This just reaffirms my fears of the ocean completely
Joe "I will never react to the "Joe Rogan" comments" Rogan.
Georg Surinama you just commented on him not commenting on our comments. Comception
Jackson Allen and you just commented on that.
Well look at all the comments, commenting on other people's comments.
meta
Joe rogan is a state of mind
I love how Kelly just cuts in when joes talking, give him a taste of his own medicine
Listening to his stories stoned it’s a fuckn trip
The GOAT! A real one in a million human being. Smart, too! Some may disagree, but nobody has done more for modern surfing that Slater.
Even as a kid he was a legend in Florida. One of the tags was that he was a 4.0 student ... no alcohol or drugs. Just a kid who could shred ...
@@apollobernet Super human in all endeavors. One of my personal heroes.
Anyone that surfs that well has a natural intelligence in physics.
My first time in Hawaii was amazing and a little scary all at the same time. My wife and went on our honeymoon and we met my brother there to attend his wedding on a private beach. A hurricane hit Fiji that week resulting in fast winds.
3 people died 1/2 a mile from us while wind surfing and the next day we went to Pearl Harbor, only to find out that a helicopter tour crashed near the Arizona and a young boy got pinned amd drowned in the accident. Crazy turn of events, but it showed me that place can be beautiful and terrifying all at the same time.
Slater might be the coolest guy ever, and I don’t even surf!!
NoSox RubyRox ....he's awesome.but he did screw my mom over when they were dating
@@mikebell7525 Was she screwed with a surfboard?
Kelly is awesome dude.
He gave me my first lesson.. I got messed up and got hit in the back of my head a few times before I did it right.. Slater is a cool dude
I’m just as ADD as him. 😂 My stories are all roundabout too lol. Thank you both for your stories!
sooooo.don't go surfing...got it.
no brah, it's fun. maybe don't tackle 50 footers
surfing 2-3 ft waves is nothing like this dude. Easy and safe
All the story’s are about the guys that charge 15ft + waves. Average joe doesn’t surf bigger than 5-6ft
tripp and incredibly fun!!!!
tripp it’s like comparing regular snowboarding to Olympic half piping lmao u can’t just expect anyone to do it
Joe “They can’t just like hang you by your ankles?.” Rogan
kstokman
😂
Glad someone said this lmaoo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Slater is freaking amazing. Great segment.
Awesome interview - the guys a legend ..
crazy bit is that waves don't have to be big for a lot of that stuff to happen. the bigger the wave the greater the chances are of doom, but i never surfed anything bigger than double overhead (mostly in hawaii) and saw, or personally experienced, a lot of what mr slater mentioned.
25 years ago I got speared in the ear by the board and split my ear in half, 15 stitches and a plastic surgeon to put it back together. Worst thing was it happened in the morning and I didn't get it fixed until later that night because I had to travel to 3 different hospitals because no doctors wanted to attempt it.
Wow!
On 2 November 1985 the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) struck the Cortes Bank reef about one mile east of Bishop Rock, putting a 60-foot (18 m) gash in her outer hull on the port side, ripped off her port keel, and severely deformed her outboard port propeller blades. She continued operations, then went into dry dock in San Francisco at the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard for repairs.
Thanks wiki
Secondary drowning is a term people use to describe another drowning complication.
It happens if water gets into the lungs. There, it can irritate the lungs' lining and fluid can build up, causing a condition called pulmonary edema.
The signs of secondary drowning (dry drowning) are:
lethargy or extreme fatigue.
difficulty breathing.
irritability or mood swings.
chest pain.
shortness of breath.
persistent cough.
fever.
Hope that helps.
Sounds almost as bad as typical nasty pharmasuicidical side effects.
Dude when Fanning got a brush with a shark at J bay contest I thought I was about to see a dead man.
Kelly ''I got a friend of mine'' Slater
Joe “you cant just hang from your ankles” Rogan
That probably works better than Rogaine !
Legend. Great to listen to 👊🏻
