Kelly Slater Lives With Unbearable Pain - Wild Ride

[@davislee1808]

What a life this guy has had. He played it smart his whole career and didn’t get in his own way, stayed humble and lived the dream.

[@Uthu777]

So True.....Admirables

[@samthiff1]

he's the goat for a reason!! amazing

[@Jess-ik7le]

The smile on steveos face the entire time 😊

[@ghostfrieza2904]

It's because Kelly showed steve-o his tiny weener before the podcast started 😊❤

[@SacredTubes]

Yeah I was wondering if his teeth/gums ever dry out. 😂

[@andysurfer318]

Where is the video?

[@tobinbh3940]

Kelly is such a genuinely nice guy..he has been the best representative for surfing g and a huge inspiration to so many...truly the GOAT!!! Forever the champ!!!

[@juliawcj111]

Loved the interview, Kelly Slater is an icon. I live in Haleiwa, North Shore on Oahu for 35 years, the surfing community is a family like no other.

[@masterpropper2485]

Tell that to all the surfers acting like idiots once they're in the water...

[@johnscatcherd9928]

That's why we have the Hui lol. It's our outdoor classroom. 😊

[@Steve-hs5le]

Kellys the Man and Goat. Years ago when my son was a Grom. We went to the Hurley Pro at Lowers Kelly won. But as he was heading out for the final heat he gave my son his wax. My son still has that Wax smells like root beer.

[@buzzmorales4339]

Kelly Slater has Always been been my favorite surfer, even though I am 10 years his senior. He always motivates me to be the best Surfer, skater or Snowboarder I can! God Bless you all and him! 👍🏄🏽‍♂️🛹🏂🏍️✝️

[@is-ness]

Jesus loves you being better than the next guy at movement. 😂✝️

[@RobertGreedy]

Kelly at jbay attacking the lip was always a part of my amping before I surfed.

[@RobertGreedy]

My name is skip.fyi

[@andrewSUN17]

Kelly, beyond being an iconic surfer, is one of those guys that has stories for days and such a kind unassuming demeanor. That ever smile on your face Steve gives away just how nice it is to hang w him and share the stories.

[@nectarkundalini]

Arguably one of the best athletes ever. A genius of his craft, what’s great guy.

[@Chilly_Chaz]

I don’t even think it’s arguable!

[@docskate4312]

Sentence 1 - not at all. Sentence 2 - 100%

[@oakwilson]

@@docskate4312statistically he's won more championships than almost any athlete ever. also has been a competing professional (and winning) in his sport for over 30 years... regardless of what you define as an athlete he is inarguably one of the GOAT's

[@mattburnett4185]

+ He's definitely the posterboy for the bald community

[@datapusher-]

@@docskate4312 = out of touch 🤡

[@davidharris4030]

If you are a skater or surfer from back in the day. Kelly Slater is like a GOD! I am 59 years old and my grandparents had a condo in Cocoa Beach years ago. Him coming from that area made him even more so of a true rockstar! You rule Kelly!! I kinda like you Steve-0!!!!!LOL!!!!!

[@nettwench]

He's made us East coasters proud!

[@mattgurin6168]

[@spicoledude]

Such a sick interview. Two legends reminiscing about the golden days. Haha you guys drew the path for many. I gotta watch the how surfing changes depression with steveo.

[@slashtrio]

Slater is a classy guy. Good sport, top level athlete, and obviously a thoughtful and intelligent guy.

[@michaelcollins7589]

The smile on Steveos face throughout is priceless 😂 this interview is gold!

[@TheDruzza]

Stevo can’t smile properly with those teeth haha 😂

[@TTVSavageRapper7]

🤣🤣

[@nettwench]

He has a cat-like agility that no one else has. His intellect and instinct are huge factors in how he competes, he has total mastery of every skill required to be the best. Consistency is also part of his success. GOAT!!!

[@ericsanchez2952]

The Jimmy Buffett story was amazing, what an awesome gift to be able to give to a loved one. Love you both, this was the best.

[@CriticalMass-yu1ec]

That was a freaking awesome interview. 🏄‍♂️ Thanks for sharing it with us

[@nickcds3419]

Kelly is the goat. What a legend man. I could watch him surf for hours

[@ThePoopiesChannel]

Epic podcast!!! Thanks for the shout out SteveO!!!

[@helenwoods1467]

Hey, coming to you from Queensland, Australia 🌏🦘🌏🦘🌏🦘 I grew up watching kelly slater, he was my surf idol , him & Occy and Tom Carrol. This was in 1990, and i was always the only girl surfer usually, lol !! I loved his moves, his raw talent, and obviously his looks, hehehe 😅 , but yeah, he was my absolute favourite surfer. I even made a surfboard just like one of his, it was a 6'3 thruster, with alot of rocker in the nose, and tail, so she flew in the water 🌊💦🌊 , it was a dove tail, if i remember correctly! Wow tho. Those were rhe days. I never lived more than a 5 minute walk from the beach, too. Of course, i have had many skin cancer surgerys, over the years, mostly on my back and face . And my left hip is stuffed. Ive got alot of arthritis setting in aswell. Im nearly 47 lol, but it was worth it !! I was lucky enough to make it to pipeline, and up and down the Australian coast, around Cronulla beach, noosa heads, Bondi, etc, as a teenager and young adult. But surfing does take its toll, as does skateboarding ( i did alot of that too, still do now haha) ive had some spectacular stacks on my deck, and nearly drowned 3 times in the water ( caught in rips, & under the impact zone, eating sand lol😮). But heck, i totally wish you all the best Kelly, may your pain be minimal, and your golf outstanding!!!!! Sending Lotsa love, respect and good vibes from the land of Oz 🎉 🙏❤️🙏

[@davidfife-nm7uy]

It’s great that Kelly speaks nicely about other companies and their wave pools as opposed to most business people who won’t give competitors the time of day. Nice guy

[@glassncobalt]

A real business person.

[@TheDruzza]

Never speaks badly about anybody, however he’s a ruthless competitor and a silent assassin.

[@loismylane]

He is someone who wants wavepools to be as common as swimming pools, whether its his or not. Just dedication to the sport

[@ohnohedidnt4444]

A living Legend! Hopeful get to watch him perform for a few more years!

[@jockp8912]

Great interview and it’s funny how someone so passionate about life inspires you to live a better one

[@karlitosnetana1409]

That was the best interview ever, thankyou soo much & Kelly is the most knowledgeable, humble kind spirit humans on this planet. Such a great watch ❤️🙏

[@josephschmeggins6311]

World champ at 20. World champ at 50. Not playing pool or darts or lawn bowling. In a physically demanding sport fighting against nature and people half his age. Legend.

[@aaronlee2371]

Now heading to work but have bookmarked this for tonight. Kelly Slater is such an awesome guy. Cant wait!

[@jaydubbelyoo]

I had a Kelly Slater poster on my bedroom wall as a teenager. The beez neez of all things surf culture. Great episode guy's. Happy birthday to Paul!

[@fronts3165]

Great story about the shark encounter at J-Bay. I was watching the stream live. Those 5 seconds where Mick disappeared behind the swell was terrifying. I was thinking we might see Jaws in real time.

[@OTCZeke]

Fuck yeah SteveO🤘 Thanks for the ShoutOut Boyz🙏🙌

[@Chris-ho4ki]

Face the shark, you’re damn right. Same thing happened to me spearfishing in the Bahamas. I had a shark ram me. It circled back and came back for another attack, and when I dropped my fins down in the water, spread my arms and made myself look big and actually made eye contact , it broke off the attack.

[@garvinc7267]

Such a ledge!! Very well spoken individual as well as incredible athlete 💪🏼

[@Sketchbag]

He's so regal at contests, it's amazing the amount of respect and admiration he receives. *GOAT*

[@backyardadvocate9377]

Kelly’s book, “Pipe Dreams,” really demonstrated the great upbringing, clear-eyed maturity, and insight, rarely found by young achievers in any discipline. Hope to have my #7, “Wizard Sleeve,” signiture verified one day.🕉🏄🏾🤙😎

[@gcoinhistorian]

The best Slater interview I've ever seen.

[@Vinnyimperati]

it was awesome having Kelly come in the van! This one was a lot of fun.

[@Morebetter-]

Skinny Vinney the legend himself 😮

[@Hi-di6fd]

I lived on the North Shore for a while and surfed next to Slater often. My buddy was filming me at Pipe one day, when I came in all these tourists came up to me trying to get pictures and autographs from me. (I am not a Pro at all/ not known) They all asked what it was like to surf with Kelly Slater, I shrug it off cause I didn't know he was out with me. So all these people have pictures of me and think I am this un known Pro surfer that isn't phased by surfing with the GOAT. hahahah. Still one of my favorite memories.

[@masymase5079]

Best day of the week is the day that wild ride comes. Thank you boys

[@petergamache627]

Awesome interview! Big Kelly Slater Fan and big Outerknown Fan. Canadian living in the Prairies wishing I was a surf guy.

[@Heathaze813]

You can see how much respect and fun you are having Steve O. Great interview, keep them coming

[@Marlinmate]

Went to high school with Kelly…he’s a good person

[@Thebakedbaker413]

Listening to history, so cool, thanks yall! Love it.

[@adamanton5366]

Awesome interview. Always a pleasure listening to Kelly tell stories. You guys might wanna turn off autofocus for these podcasts tho. You can see the constant refocusing throughout video. I wonder if the lens is struggling with that furry poster on the wall behind.

[@MLife1000]

I notice this on other podcast with the microphone going in and out of focus and I wonder why people use the auto focus.

[@brianj443]

Agreed. It’s because they are still rookies figuring out the technicals.

[@hairycat6095]

Steve-O i hate to be the bearer of bad news, the older you get the more old injuries come back to haunt you. i am an old guy 67yo. been a fan for at least 20 years. thumbs up

[@mrsalma83]

I had the biggest crush on Slater as a teen. Nice to hear what he's been up to. Thank you

[@RYEINDUSTRIAL]

Great interview, highly enjoyed that. Kelly youre a legend.

[@GBLahLah]

Oh Kelly, been looking up to you all my life man. I nearly died at Zicadela last year, don’t know how you do it. Bless

[@shawnlatino1810]

Luv you 2 guys- are legends-Im 68 and still stoked on surfing and martisl arts!!...TY guys for stoke!!

[@larissalen]

Kelly is amazing, Steve-O is amazing, but the fact that the camera could never find focus hurt my eyes a little bit lol. Still, you guys are awesome so who cares about the camera

[@in3d]

Awesome interview - 2 things for next time: 1. Lock in that camera focus - the auto was driving me crazy - I wanna see Kelly as crisp as can be!! 2. Real hard to follow what you are talking about when we don't see the screen you're referencing - try and show that more!!

[@ScottMartin-s6q]

Slater , Hawk , Brady , Woods , Other sports have them obviously, but in my opinion these are undeniable .

[@justingurley836]

Thanks, Steve-O. Long live the Greatest.

[@gaborsebastiaan]

If Slater checked the working conditions (of the slaves) before building the wavepool in abu dhabi he would have remained the goat. I am a avid surfer for over 20 years but i can not believe Kelly Slater sold out after all ready having everything he needed. Could not believe it and had to check it twice…. So so sad what people are willing to ignore only for money 😥

I remember surfing an ESA contest as a teen when I saw Kelly slaying waist high waves in New Smyrna Beach. All the guys I knew thought he was something special. Great talent.

[@TheLionOfJudah-439]

I haven’t surfed in 10 years went to Oahu for the first time and got back into it. I was at Pipeline, observing, and my God do you have to have brass balls to surf that wave. Slater won pipe masters at 50 years old. No other word describes the guy except GOAT.

[@hannahk.summerville5908]

Malibu Artist is probably the dude that Kelly mentions here. With the great drone footage of sharks and how they interact with unsuspecting people in the water😊 Great interview guys, dope vibes👌🏻

[@josechina2316]

Awesome hearing Kelly talk with SteveO. That Wave Ranch facility Kelly runs is epic, beautiful waves, ite and day and Ramani the surf tesch guru. Been watching alot of clips from there with all types of kooks on boards all enjoying it. Would love to go, watch, ride, help out. Super cool idea, thank you Kelly.

[@gsteele1124]

I want someone to look at me the way Steve-O looks at Kelly 😅😂😅😂

[@TheNaturalust]

6 years ago I broke my femur on a big day on North Shore Maui. Kudos to the lifeguards who carried me from the beach to the ambulance. I was screaming unknown obscenities the whole time. That rogue wave just slammed me into the reef instantly and snapped that biggest bone. When I saw the bone sticking through my wetsuit it freaked me out but getting through the inner break was pure torture. I’m back on the water but avoiding big waves on shallow reefs. ☮️

[@josepheisenkrein7153]

The pod has been fire lately keep it up steve o!

[@BlaiseyShootzProductions]

Loved it. One concern, for the camera on Steve-O and Kelly, whoever is cam op should set focus and put it on manual focus. The breathing of the AF is distracting. Just wanted to share my 2 cents! Keep bringing the great episodes🤟🏽

[@PsychedbE]

keep second guessing m eye sight there... looool.

[@sCareCrowmerk]

Checked to see of there was a new episode and wasn't disappointed 😂

[@MacHendrickson]

Crystal Cove one of my childhood spots. Not once did I think about sharks. As for the adult shark vs. juvenile, I think juvenile bull sharks are a concern. Testing the waters and unpredictable (from what I've read/heard).

[@Strawman333]

I remember Kelly from years ago. I grew up in Jacksonville beach Fl. He would always win the ESA contests as a kid. If Kelly was in the contest there was no chance of winning. I remember watching his film “110/240 in the early 90’s. I was blown away by how good he got in such a short time. Glad that I got to witness his career then and now.

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

You are always thanking us at the end of each podcast. But THANK YOU for the constant Steve-O content! 🤘

[@darendriskill2282]

I met Kelly in tahoe at the golf thing..he is the man

[@solomon6082]

19:22 As soon as the fish is out of the water the ripples from a fish struggling are gone. They react to those waves. When youre in the water you feel everything. Thats like sound to them. 24:56

[@locksmithdb5987]

I met kelly at WRV in Kitty Hawk, NC in the late 90's..super nice, humble, funny guy! I saw him in sports illustrated (they were saying he was going to be the goat back then) in the 80's, he was pretty young. That made me want to surf, which i do (try to do) lol

Kelly Slater is dope, great guest to bring on 🤙

[@kiryubelmont3222]

Sad to hear about the pain. Kelly should look into Dr John Sarno. Sounds like the pain is from stress and pressure. Western medical model will tell you its all physical but I was told I needed a hip replacement at 36. Now im 100% pain free after doing the mental work. Sounds kooky but its real.

[@bucknasty69]

Lmao sounds like the quack doctors I deal with at the VA. Meditation isn’t going to replace all the missing cartilage in my ankle, cure my osteoarthritis, and get rid of my chronic pain.

[@Clarke1982]

Nothing quack about it. Upward of 90% of chronic pain problems are psychophysical, routed in our emotional experience. This is widely proven with Neuroscience now. Sarno’s the man. Read his books, you’re entire perspective will be changed. It won’t change the missing cartilage but it will change the pain. Dr. David Hanscom too. Check him out. They’re both renowned spinal surgeons. (Sarno had passed away now) and understand chronic pain better than any other. Best wishes man.

[@Clarke1982]

I’m a mindbody practitioner and agree 100%. I wish more people knew this stuff. TMS is very common in skateboarding and surfing because of the personality types these sports/arts attract.

[@AEVMU]

​@@Clarke1982Not going to fix bone on bone.

[@rothallen5879]

Sarno and learning about TMS changed ny life. I'm still surfing because of Dr Sarno.
