"Got anything else to whine about?"
Instagram, as if it needs to be said, is the devil that never sleeps, a wicked goblin that awaits the misspoken word or misstep that will awaken its legion of offence seeking trolls.
Kelly Slater, eleven times a world champion and a man of almost immeasurable wealth, has made a point, in recent times, of going after all those he feels may’ve wronged or misrespresented he.
See,
And,
Today, we find Kelly defending his decision to vacay in Bali, a holiday that has already yielded a double-tube ride with Betet Merta and a backside carving 360 at Padang as well as a lovely head-high session at Uluwatu.
.@kellyslater and Betet Merta sharing some quality tube time yesterday at Padang.

@kellyslater how many countries have you travelled to whilst covid is going on?
Kelly replies, Technically one. I was in Australia when it happened then went home and am now on my first trip abroad. Got anything else to whine about?
And, then, the expected, but no less effective, coup de grâce,
Well, let’s see… I was already somewhere by default. Then I went home which everyone was requested to do. Then anyone who can pay for a visa can go to indo. I’ve had 4 tests done in that time all negative. Please tell me about the spread I’ve caused. Keep drinking the kool aid though.
Nine hundred dead, three hundred of ’em kids, too.
To drink the Kool-Aid means blind obedience.
Which, I think, gives this story its meat, so to speak.
Does Kelly think that COVID worriers, which @deathsalt appears to be, have been hoodwinked by their governments?
A conspiracy etc?
As for getting into Indo, it ain’t no secret.
Cough up the cash and you’re in for two months.

Slater is living his BEX life.
Quarantine Information:
Are U.S. citizens required to quarantine? Yes
All foreign visitors arriving in Indonesia are required to:
Hold a health certificate issued by health authorities from their home countries.
Undertake a mandatory 14-day quarantine at designated facilities
I’m sure Kelly took the 14-day quarantine at a designated facility. Lol
Kelly Slater has a fear of cancel culture so he lashes out at any Sjw he misperceives as a threat. One reason people get canceled is companies see it as an excuse to get out of contracts, since they have a digital mob on their side. Kelly’s not going to get ousted from OK, just like Chas and Derek won’t get ousted from Beachgrit. Kelly going to Bali is exactly what the GOAT should do. You don’t get to the top without continually exploiting opportunities. Being in Bali right now is definitely an opportunity. Maybe it would be a good time for him to take a vacation from IG too.
who can blame him, he doesn’t have a wife or kids.
Don’t be a douchenozzle. He has a daughter, which he self-admitted didn’t want and wasn’t around for when she was growing up, because he had the surf life to attend to.
Arguing with randoms on the interest is the best way to cement your legacy. #instachamp
Andy irons is the greatest surfer of all time
Im a long time surf tragic, from ASL to tracks to surfing world to stab to surfer and surfing even and I can honestly say I think kelly slater is a complete fuckwit and I haven’t enjoyed his surfing since that turn/barrel combo he did at Magaret river. He’s a a kook if a human and doesn’t even have a good style of surfing?????(wide stance shit airs too short boards)
You must bust yo stick you shred so bad.
I’m starting to understand why Kelly has been overscored his whole career.
If the judges hadn’t he would have just gone off his head at them
Everyone’s fear/loathing about influenza(see below****), has made for some very comfortable travel for me. Thank You, continue to know that Covid is certainly real, and you are all going to die from it! Stay home, and enjoy your last days with your hamster. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of all these infected who ‘res out here. Stay well! ~ Scorn
Good for Kelly.
I started traveling for work again and I’m glad I did.
How did Dane get in to Tahiti?
A travel writer I follow on Instagram was in Tahiti two weeks ago or so. Air Tahiti Nui has been flying LAX-PPT and the hotels are open.
Kelly should look up Bruno Santos while on Bali. He might learn how to get barreled at Padang.
Why can’t the Wozzle
Run ten events in Bali?
Just grease someone’s palm
So according to Kelly’s comments on the Surfers of Bali thread, he didn’t self quarantine himself when he arrived in Bali as nobody told him to do so! What planet is he on?
Self entitled fuckwits don’t have to self isolate.
It’s his world, we’re just living in it
Has anyone had a q-tip stuck in their nose to test for anything before this?
If you don’t get tested, Covid dosent exist.
Schrodingers Cat paradox
… there’s something about a box of pussy that explains everything and nothin’ !
so what happens genius when you do catch it?
Not much it seems
True dat.
Person in charge of age care here talked with 3aw.
Said people who died WITH C-19 in his age facility were being reported as dying BECAUSE of C-19
Tom Elliot asked..well, it would have tipped them over the edge right?
Nope..the latest death, the person died of a septic leg, no respiratory problems, but had C-19
I’m sold, tell Brutus, he’s still drinking the unkoolaid
Hope he doesn’t need a chart from me
Sooooooo…. all those excess deaths that were recorded in Europe and the US over the last months are what? Spontaneous combustions? Alien abductions? Suicides?
Who said that doubting everything is basically as convenient as believing everything, because for neither one has to actually think? Anyway he/she was right. All this conspiracy nonsense is a very childish way of not dealing with the issues at hand. While simultaneously acting like a smug twat, which is the truely annoying part I should add. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Herman Cain just tweeted he agrees with you.
It’s not a lie if you believe it.

It’s how the state Premiers end their zoom meetings.

Yes, you’ll find it in a search engine.

Haha!!
I had an IQ test done that way, got a great result, turned out I had hardly any.
Didn’t Kelly fly to Australia from NZ ??
Didn’t Kelly get busted in Lennox for travelling from Gold Coast ?
Didn’t kelly drive from Gold Coast to Sydney on a surf trip during a lockdown?
Didn’t Kelly buy an Asian based Surfboard brand and green wash us all?
Didn’t kelly’s OK get sued for being elite?
Didn’t Kelly go to Bali to just surf…or did he have cameraman there , to create Global awareness of……something?
Apart from that, technically, only one trip.
Probably there to buy a hotel and golf course, there’s a few going cheap by the sounds of it…
Sad..but would rather see him buy them than the Chineses.
Come to think of it, Surfers have never wanted to hear about “regular people laws/problems”. We climb over fences, take boats into Islands, jump off Ferry’s/piers and so on. Kelly is just one of US, and he can see right thru the fauxdemic.
Do you think that he’s a secret Trump follower?
This is officially the year that every surfer will look back at in history, those who did not sneak away for a surf at an iconic spot will look back with regret and angst. This is not the time to live in fear but a time to fulfil ones greatest, selfish dream. Dream on Kelly.. dream on.
not every , a lot of us have obeyed the laws as we realize how fucken real it is….I have had 3 surfs in 4 mths , I have no fear of reality , it’s all the selfishness and lack of community ……there should be guilt in not being part of the solution !
While you stay at home, people are scoring once in a lifetime, empty waves with no travel restrictions. If you have restrictions where you live, that’s great if you follow them.
Yeah #fuckkelly
Kelly. Kel. Kell-aye. K11. Jimbo. GOAT.
Never, ever leave insta. This is all just too good.
For real, I’m with my man on this one if I had the means I’d be the fuck in Bali too.
I dunno how many times it’s been said before but why the hell does he care about us plebs opinion?
You really want to know that?
OK because Kelly is a pleb, even plebbier than many Grit commenters in fact. It doesn’t matter how rich people think he is or how many world titles he’s won. He’s from Cocoa Beach for fuck’s sake. Plus he’s always been communicative, he craves contact. I lurkily suspect this is why many surfers struggle with his actions, unlike so many US surf stars over the years, he is out front, not a mystery a la Tom Curren, Dora etc, so you don’t get to project on him the way so many have on those two in particular. He’s offensively himself and he’s a bogan too, and he’s easily provoked.
Good point Nick.
This is the insight we crave
Nicely put
(that’s kinda what I’d always thought but never said it unabusively…)
See everybody! How can you not love the guy?
An insecure, super-talented cashed-up bogan. I love him now more than ever.
“he craves contact”… sounds like this other bogan from newport in sydney.
Nothing short of comedy gold. Kelly trolling Australians who are unable to to depart on their annual pilgramage to Bali due to government lockdowns. Meanwhile Kelly from Florida shares tubes with the locals. This my friends is what Freedom looks like.
kelly is a cunt. nick is a writer for merch. industry stooges.
I didn’t think any of that Nick.
I grew up a few years younger than Slater but he was always (clearly) the man. I do like that he’s telling people to fuck off, that’s hard to dislike.
