Be you.
Kelly Slater is, with only a few nitpicky caveats, the greatest surfer of all-time. The 11x World Champion took to the stage at the Academy Awards, recently, a beacon of health, of confidence, of self-assuredness as he spoke about James Bond. Well, Slater also had a chance, the very next day, to speak about another legend.
Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady.
Slater notes that he was on the Dan Patrick Show when Patrick asked if he would trade places with Brady. But what do you think the jiujitsu purple belt answered? Brady is considered to be the greatest quarterback of all-time, married to Gisele Bündchen, handsome etc.
So would he?
Per Slater’s velvet rope Instagram feed, “I said no chance. I hugely admire Tom and his career but mine ain’t bad at all! Nobody can be you. Every life has challenges and unique lessons. Find out the gold your life is trying to teach and offer you and make it better than the ideas you have about someone else’s!”
As if this bit of wisdom was not profound enough, Slater layered it over a stirring video of his good friend Joe Rogan talking about how you are you and there is only one of those around.
Now go out there and have a hell of a day.
In the world of surfing,” You never retire.You stop getting paid to perform, but have the greatest ” Wealth”, able to do the same stuff ya did for money, and now for fee, for life!”
I’d take wiping out at Pipeline over getting hit by an NFL lineman too
No you wouldn’t. In the ocean,” you get ” Concussed”, there isn’t any trainer& golf cart to wheel you to the locker room.If you are all alone,” You Drown”..
I give Kelly full points for using the word ‘unique’ correctly, and not degrading it by imposing a spectrum of being upon it.
Where’s the story on Kelly giving a eulogy for Warnies farewell? It was a who’s who of the globe – oscars to Warnie some week!!
Take my hat off to Warnie he did some good shit and appeared to be himself
15% or more for over 85 years.
Yeah but Brady gets to tap it forever and she’s still super hot.
I’d rather be Brady in that situation.
Kelly’s girl is average at best
“In her prime.” as a Mr. Connery stated.
The story here is that Kelly Slater knew about TB going to TB Bucs before everyone else. Can’t take himself out of the story.

“you are you and there is only one of those around”…..can you imagine if there were two Slaters? They would probably argue with each other on IG for days on end.
The negatives of being Tom Brady the Gisele addition-
– She is 17 years older then when you were with her last (In her prime)
– Now she has blown out two kids (Has two kids- See above)
– Probably bat shit crazy Brazo ( I mean definitely)
– Doesn’t eat meat ( I mean doesn’t allow you too)
– Doesn’t drink (I mean doesn’t allow you too)
– You will have to take the kid from the previous marriage 1/2 the time
– You will have to live in Florida ( Maybe it will feel like coming home but there is a reason you are Gypsy)
– She is not a model anymore so not flying around the world 75% of the year meaning she will always be working from home…I mean nagging (Tom Brady comes out of retirement)
I know everyday has challenges and unique lessons but I say stick to being you Kelly. Although you would have loved being on those Hertz commercials. It would have been such a step up from selling KONA beer. LETS GO!
You’re right she’s so damn old and unfuckable…..https://http://www.instagram.com/p/CQoLP0r...
Now lets see your old ass wife.
You shouldn’t assume somebody is married.
Your right, your post does give off major incel vibes. I apologize.
I have a long list of women that have come and gone. Domino, Tiffany Case, Aki, Tatiana Romanova, Fiona Volpe, Kissy Suzuki, Honey Ryder, Sylvia Trench, and Pussy Galore to name a few. I travel a lot and get bored easily.
Get barreled in Tahiti or play in Green Bay in January? Tough choice…
How about CTE or sunburn?

For a second there I thought slater was invited back to Rogans podcast but then I remembered how awkward the first one was.
Anti-depressive. Congrats!
