...falls on his face, wakes up and says, "Thank God I'm not in Brazil!"
Everyone is mad at Rio! I wrote this morning that it was nice to see the pros surf waves that I wouldn’t even but Rory Parker slammed so me hard I can’t get up!
He is very right!
Nobody wants to see Roger Federer play cracked cement’d net-less tennis!
But don’t you want to know what Kelly Slater has been doing while Kolohe Andino gets Zika?
Passing out!
He posted a video on his Instagram feed of himself doing a faceplant doing a yoga class but not just any yoga class. A Wim Hof yoga class! Do you not know who Wim Hof is? Vice says:
Wim Hof first caught the attention of scientists when he proved he was able to stay submerged in ice for one hour and 53 minutes without his core body temperature changing. Since then, he’s climbed Mount Everest in his shorts, resisted altitude sickness, completed a marathon in the Namibian Desert with no water, and proven—under a laboratory setting—that he’s able to influence his autonomic nervous system and immune system at will.
And Kelly says:
When you’re doing a breathing class with #WimHof on #FridayThe13th under a #NewMoon and Mercury is heavily in #Retrograde and you pass out and fall on your face, start dreaming and wake up wondering where tf you are and why does your face feel like you just got tackled on the football field and somebody was filming it all…but you think it’s funny. (Smiley)
Amazing. And there is Kelly getting his anti-age/weird/# on while the rest of his tour mates are in Brazil. Still. I am so fascinated by that country’s wild geo-political thing that I’d rather be there than on Mt. Everest naked. Have you seen the movie Everest? Brutal. And actually, I wouldn’t be on whatever beach the contest is at but in Brasilia trying to figure out what Dilma’s next play is.
You? Where would you rather be?
Kelly Slater passes out during yoga session! from BeachGrit on Vimeo.
It was more than ‘light headedness’. Kelly’s brain had a seizure. His brain momentarily lost consciousness. That is why he fell over, head first, with inactive brain. This can happen when people do faulty pranayama (yoga breathing). Imo, Kelly should stop doing this since his body & mind are probably already hyper conditioned-sensitive-tuned as a genetically born elite specimen. Should not do energetic exercises design for the ordinary weakling. It might work for Wim Hof but mis-using breathing can mess many people up. Imo, a sign for Kelly that this Hof breathing is unsuitable & particularly unnecessary. Angels that can fly through the sky can still mess up if they try to fly through outerspace.
Can someone with computer skills please photoshop and/or edit or whatever the fuck you have to do and get Kelly Slater standing up on his first wave at his wave pool and splice in the jumping up and down followed by face plant making it look like he’s on his board and not some blanket on grass
its times like this that I wish I had nerd computer skills
Regardless of what you think of Joe Rogan… Wim Hof is pretty bad arse.

He climbed Mt. Everest wearing shorts and crampons.
Kelly should go underground a la Tom Curren and protect his legacy…he’s not getting any cred or gaining any fans by rocking with that crowd of Fauntleroys.
So Kelly called in sick to miss Rio… and he’s now been caught playing silly buggers.
