Best surfer in the world Kelly Slater, in the wings at the just-wrapped Academy Awards wherein Chris Rock became slapped by Will Smith, weighs in on imbroglio: “I was sorta looking down then looked up and the whole place just went uhhhhhhhh!”

Voice of reason.

Kelly Slater, world’s winningest surfer, gift, 50, still competing and crushing, etc. happened to find himself at the just-wrapped 94th Academy Awards if you don’t already know. He, alongside Tony Hawk and Shaun White, halfpipe skateboarder and snowboarder respectively, to give an award (?) to the James Bond franchise.

Well, as you know or should know, that 94th Academy Awards went haywire after actor-cum-rapper Will Smith charged the stage in order to slap CB4 star Chris Rock across the mouth sending an entire industry reeling.

Slater was right there, in the wings apparently, and so what was his take?

I won’t spoil.

Somewhat true grasshoppa, I bodysurfed before getting a junk of fiberglass, and yes, agreed. the Ego is a dead end.

La niña really fucking with the surf in Vic, even the one spot on the coast that has surf in an easterly has shit sand and theyd never move Bells there anyway.

Pick your fantasy surfers who can perform in small onshore slop.

“The slap heard around the world”

Maybe the whole thing was staged by an old surf writer with Hollywood neighbours in Malibu…

“Crazy motherfuckka named Gusto, I’ll fuck ya wife cause the bitch is a big ho. I’d fuck ya sister, I’ll fuck ya cat, I wouldn’t fuck ya Mum’s cause the bitch is too fat”
Best bars ever rapped by non rappers.

That was cold blooded. Great movie.

One of Charlie Murphy’s many great performances. RIP
What did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP!

Uneducated

I believe that now this represents the fifth or so article on slapgate, the presence of the great man has now officially landed the academies as surf adjacent

Do you think the prestigious badge ought be renamed “dont slap me Will”?

Pauly Matt War-Shore

I’m still confused as to what the don’t hit me Parko badge is all about, and why so many of us have them. NEGATRON?

Waterproof Polo

People that might have pissed off the surfing establishment? One must not speak ill of the starz!

LOL. Thanks.

Uneducated

Thats a reason why a dont slap me will is a good option, to bring clarity

Its either for a comment abusing another posters family members
Or posting really lame attempts at humour

NEGATRON

It was a “dont hit me Koby” badge in regards to certain writers avoiding covering Koby Abberton stories.
Then I changed it and dished a few out after pushy Parko starting getting physical over the muddy hill. Seemed funny at the time.

channelbottom

I started hearing Queen after reading that.

DON’T SLAP ME WILL!
I’M HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME!
