Joe Rogan - Kelly Slater on Surfing in His 40's, Being Competitive

I think that Joe doesn't understand how dominant Kelly has been in his chosen sport

Great insight on the journey of surfing and competion Kelly, I can relate being the youngest of 9. Keep the fire stoked thanks guys👊🏽🎨

Yeah me and kelly go way back. Used to call me shooter Mcgavin. Yup good ole days. Nah that never happend I lied.

Know nothin bout surfing or surfers but think I might love him

I've now reached my lifetime limit of the word "girth". Thanks for that.

Kelly: "i dont really want a job". Finally i found someone who thinks the same as me.

I don't have a job 😭

Steve is an excellent longboarder.....

Kelly's brothers rip too

Kelly described the difference between longboard and short board perfect.

Surfing is the sport you can do from age 6 to age 60.

I watched Kelly surf way back when he was an amature at the Huntington Beach OP Pro when Tom Curren was killing it..

Wonder what's happened to Drew. Have you two kept in touch?

Kelly is the man! So cool, so successful and so fucking humble!

aint no way in this world to underrate Kelly; its already a huge deal to win a surfing championship, but then, to stay focused and in shape to go on to win another 10 against guys younger than you and just as hungry....

great minds always come as great talkers, and Kelly reminds me of Neil Peart, another great orator and prodigy

He's 100% correct on longevity. People that have jobs that they don't like they stress out and they don't live very long because they know every day they're doing something that they don't want to do

Crazy how different lives can be, hearing people do things that they like or mabye even love is inspiring and hopeful. Most people I know including myself end up in low pay low skill wage trap jobs where you just make enough to stay and put up with more than normal bullshit because everyone else pays even less and nobody wants anyone who doesn’t already have years of experience already. I hope to figure out what to do like these guys found surfing,comedy, martial arts.

Michael Phelps and Slater are the best American atletes that came out in the last 30 years, both immensely inteligent, charismatic and humble, a lessson to all the young big egos out there, out to impress people

in the begginning of my drumming days as a student I was lucky enough to be around older players and they all had the same mantra: get the skills (all the rudiments/right tempo/learn melody and theory), and then you wont have to burn yourself with excessive/useless hours of practice your instrument.

the thing about people like Slater and Phelps and Jordan and Woods is that one can imediatelly notice the ire, the gusto, the power and the hunger for glory in their eyes, there's no mistaken in assuming that they were trainned by a very early age in becoming masters

Kelly is part fish

Slater is the perfect guest for Rogan. Their conversational styles are very compatible. .

Have Joel Tudor on

So even family in family you dont have equality

I think his opinion on longevity is the best I’ve ever heard. Obviously he is a great athlete. And all that means is that he has been athletic since a kid and hasn’t stopped. And with age comes skill, where you exert less energy doing much less and achieving much more, of which is called skill. Or in other words. Do enough to be healthy and youthful. And don’t ever go 100%… Like a car, if you do 65 constantly and just make the correct decisions of what lanes to switch too and when. Of which is the skill. You’ll not only beat the guy racing you doing 80, then slowing to 40 then revving to eighty and slamming too 40 again. But his car will retire while yours hits 200 thousand miles with regular maintenance. It’s like that no shit, that’s common sense thing that’s not common lol

Kelly is the G.O.A.T

Joe should also interview Kai Lenny, Italo Ferreira, John John Florence just to name a few!

older brother creat great athletes especially in the nba. Usually players who are 7ft-6’5 are the tallest players they play against thought their youth and get stuck at center .
Cade Cunningham Kevin Durant lemelo ball even gannis and Mobley . All very big players who play positions below their height.

Which ones joe

Slater has lived the ancient Greek life of well-being: dedication, consistent excellence, and mastery in his craft. You can just see it in his presence

I am amazed about the humility of Slater. He accomplished something that no other athlete has ever done in any sport. His achievements are absolutely mindblowing. But he is such a humble and down to earth guy.

To watch him in 2022 win pipe was probably the most impressive sports feat ever. Think about it!!! 50 y.o.

Sebastian was great in the early 80s. All the roads were just washboard sand by the beach.. Great house parties. We used to rent a trailer house, and have like 10 guys in there with surfboards ,,, sell weeed and shoplift ,,,every day

greatest of surfers knows the greatest of humility

these two look related Joe is Kelly's oldest half brother

Fantastic dude. The conversation with Kelly is one the best examples of back when the Rogan podcast was great. Less daily wire creepers, more worldclass athletes.

Dude is still so unpretentious and cool. Like, he never seems to act unimpressed or above it all, he’s always just straightforward like this without being falsely modest about his skills.

Shiny head competition

Ripper. Shredder.

Michael Jordan had an older brother that use to be beat him basketball all the time, too, lol!

I think Laird Hamilton is like 58 and is still competing. I may be wrong.

The goat

he's one of a kind

easy to be humble when the GOAT heh

I could listen to Kelly talk all day. And it’s sick he was mates with Steve Irwin.

❤😮😊😂
