Folksy and wise.
Kelly Slater is an icon, our icon, but soon to be made even more famous with the imminent airing of Make or Break. This larger platform will expose important segments of broader culture to what we surfers have long known. Namely, that the 11x champion weaves a tao across social media like Laozi of old.
Golden nibbles to ponder and savor.
Morsels to digest and practice.
What, for example, is the appropriate response to the ever increasing vexation of annoying passengers on airplanes? Well, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was recently treated to a barrage of bad behavior and eventually responded by smashing the dunce in the face multiple times.
Should have restraint been practiced? A peaceful ignoring? Turning inside and blocking out external noise? A meditation of sorts?
No, according to Slater, who posted, “Got what he asked for. Leave the man alone. Idiot,” not once but twice on an Instagram account highlighting passenger shaming.
Folksy and wise.

Just no brains
Hahahahahaha!!!!!
FAFO
Dude raped someone, and that should never be forgotten. But he is dishing out what that idiot deserved.
And yeah, I watched every damn one of his fights. He is an animal. No thanks.
Poor impulse control…his mama FAILED to civilize him… battery is 5 years in prison… annoyance is not a defense!!
As much as I did not want like Gabs over the years, I do. I thought he lacked true grit, but think he proved he has it. Best of luck.
He has shown true grit for quite while i would say.
This is 100% on the airline for failing to take care of an unruly passenger.
What I wouldn’t give to be the judge on this one…
“So it says here, you were belligerent and antagonized a former heavyweight boxing champion who would beat people nearly into comas and eat their ears? You’re a special kind of stupid ain’t ya boy? Dismissed!!!”
Got what he deserved nice work mike
no exclamation point for this one?…
Was only a clipping. Could have been alot worse for alot less of
the badgering. The physical education delivered
might have saved that man from serious injuries from someone with less patience.
Should be thanking Tyson.
Kelly is gettin upset!

Aaaaand people wonder why there might be some reservations about ’Blowie’ Penn and Mack ‘My Dad Knows Where The Bodies Are Buried’ Rothman serving as politicians.
They would call that a staff meeting
Gett iron Mike in the booth with Joe.
That would actually be entertaining. His confusion about WTF was going on would be fantastic.
Edit: you know what? If the WSL hires Mike and that chick who calls into Chaz & Dave whilst three-sheets-to-the-wind as commentary colour then I’ll pay for a subscription.
Kevin Hart and Snoop Dog would also work
all ear
Good on ya Mike
Not a good advertisement for the traditional ‘peace, love and mung beans’ pot vibe though
And unfortunately the dickhead could possibly sue him now and retire on Mike’s weed money…
Planning on doing the same for my retirement. Catching a plane, go revisit California, eventually make my way to LA, find some filthy rich star and make him lose his shit. What a country!
When do we leave?
Can I come? I know how to be super annoying and I can take a punch like a champ. I mean, chump.
Lol … and where would the flight attendants be ?? Silly miki forgot CIVILIZATION for a few minutes… if u did that… it would be instant arrest and 5 years PRISON…
Didnt poor little miki boy have wife issues too ?
Only 1747 likes, wtf??? You know what to do, this is how you got 11 titles, reach deep within and……..post again
*ten minutes later*
“7297 likes….that’s what I’m talking about! Andy, I wish you were still around for this moment. It’s definitely more likes then you would have got.”
If he was genuinely hunting like votes he ought to show genuine commitment…and get himself knocked the shit out of by iron Mike (as opposed to the other irons)
Anyone see any iron(y) in that
Imagine the likes then
Yeah but you know Kelly sees himself in Mike (champion, celebrity) and does not identify at all with the schmuck pestering Mike Tyson.
Medina returns in G-Land https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
https://www.waves.com.br/no…
PRAISE THE (BRAZILIAN) LORD!
Also, Felipe is about to get a depression again
At long last, Medina’s long game has been revealed:
Skip out on the first half of the tour, come back after the mid year cut knowing that the WSL will give him wild cards in every event on the back half anyway, win a few events and get himself to Trestles, ruin Pip’s year, and essentially say, “I am so far above the rest of you that I can win a title after spending the first half of the tour at home partying.”
Just like this guy getting fed for yelling through the Anzac Day minute silence at the footy last night
https://nrlroast.com/guy-wh…
Yes, Anzac Day, to respect those that have given their lives to fight tyranny. What are you guys going to name these days?
https://www.youtube.com/wat…
I dunno, Logical Fallacy Day?
Your Country has internment camps for people with cold/flu. Nazi’s are alive and well in Australia.
Can you provide some evidence for this please?
https://americanmilitarynew…
“Angry At Something I Read In A Meme Day”
“Mild Inconvenience Day”
Gay pride day.
Given that ANZAC Day commemorates the day that troops landed in Gallipoli specifically with the purpose of subjugating the Turks under British colonial rule and to open a second front in a war between colonial rivals it’s a pretty big stretch to say they were fighting tyranny.
Personally I still haven’t forgiven them for Constantinople.
A. The term ‘getting fed’ is hilarious.
B. The comments under that link make us look like a convivial discussion of quantum mechanics.
that guy having a sneaky sip of beer amid the kerfuffle!
celebrate our humiliation!!! it made us as a nation!!!
Ahh, the old comment twice trick to maximise exposure and up-votes.
.
hahahaha
Nicely done
Ahh, the old comment twice trick to maximise exposure and up-votes.
Solid effort
“Waiting on scores… What did you love about Kelly’s post(s) Hippy?” -Joe
Hippy: “What did I love it about it, Joe? Not much, to be honest. There were a couple decent points, but nothing major or critical.”
Joe: “That’s why we all love the WSL, you have to love that honesty from Hippy.”
now that’s funny
Nice commitment there
The other side of the coin is that the likes potential of a single post is divided by two
Must be having Paul Roach flashbacks. The most legendary Dragger of all-time, kicking the shit out of the future champ on film.
Edit: I am fully aware that he is a drop knee clown but still…
Well said Kelly, well said Kelly. Maybe Mike will invite you to do some HotBoxin’ to return the favour. I think the young antagonist got off lightly. Imagine he’d wound up Jeremy Flores like that. Doesn’t bear thinking about.
