One-on-one with surf legend Kelly Slater to discuss his Surf Ranch (full interview)

[@davidamato]

Would be great to hear the environmental impact of running a waves pool, lots of energy required to drag the foil through the water plus water treatment to keep it nice and clear.

[@Surfdronesd]

I would love to see Kelly Slater surf Black's Beach or Scripps.

[@cashew1]

I think Kelly hit the nail on the head. As far as competitive surfing goes, the wave ranch because its repetitive will show where a competitor falls short in skill, style and technique.

High-season daily rental is around $70,000 while low-season costs are $50,000. Daily per person rate (at 10 surfers) is $5K to $7K.Oct 5, 2023

Ten G’s each for two foot perfect peelers. Totally worth it. 5 heads max. Go doubles every once in awhile.

[@edp3202]

That expensive? 😮

[@niniksulikah8861]

Whats that book called.? Is it available in Australia yet .?

[@wadewilson-xi1zs]

Slade! Baywatch was & still is the best.

[@JohnCocozza]

What a great day on the job Shawn. Getting time with the GOAT and riding the wave. Probably one of your best assignments ever. Side Note - The world is about to see an explosion of wave parks opening over the next 3 years. All across the USA they will be popping up with Texas being the largest concentration. Across the globe there are so many parks in development.

[@plutus205]

What is the operational cost per wave?

[@dcxxx6850]

Sorry interview guy, but not everyone can afford thousands of dollars to surf a machine wave. Typical money excluding place. I wouldn’t want to be around those people anyway they all feel entitled to be there.

Hui Kelly, this Hawaiian speaks Arabic and worked in the UAE & now Saudi. Need an Ambassador of Aloha in AbuDhabi?

[@camerontaylor1869]

Nice shirt 👕

[@letmeseeitbounce]

Why would a wave pool be top secret?

[@GuyGraham-r3w]

The wave isn't that good, it should be a close out and you just go Strait. 😅😊

[@nextari]

The interviewer's hand jive is extremely alarming and controlling. Bizarre. Talking with your hands is supposed to soothe your audience, not make them feel attacked.

[@RegularJoes]

I've been a Kelly fan for 30+ years. I found out hes a maga, I couldn't be more dissapointed and disgusted

[@jongorden4717]

I literally would have come to help film this if you asked. Just sayin

[@bradsillasen1972]

There's a lot more to real surfing than riding waves, and you won't get it there.

[@christogillard4145]

More fake waves✅✅✅✅❤

[@mbwghtt9767]

Disappointing no scale really not nice people

[@Sweetheart_of_the_rodeo]

It’s like 10 thousand dollars for 5 waves hahaha. Anyone who pays to go here is a giant kook. A rich one at that. Thanks Kelly for always thinking of the 1%!

[@bobryan8793]

Kook

[@sanfranciscobay]

How much does it cost per wave if you are a paying customer?

[@Sweetheart_of_the_rodeo]

@ you’re absolutely right, anyone that would pay money to surf here is a giant kook
