"A significant surgery, for sure."
The so-called King of Shade, Kelly Slater, who announced he was recovering from major hip surgery just before the first finals final heat between Caroline Marks and Carissa Moore but refused to give further detail, has finally opened up on the op.
The Champ said he was gonna be outta the water for three months but, “I’ll throw everything I can at it to get back by winter. Rest first then PT and any dietary stuff I can do; lots of deep tissue massage once the labrum is settled and attached. Obviously if there are any protocols from PRP to stem cells I can do, I’ll look into that.”
If you didn’t know, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments are getting a lot of heat in the field of post-surgery recovery and tissue regeneration. They use the body’s own healing mechanisms to speed up the healing process and enhance tissue repair.
Way it works, platelets from the Champ’s blood would be injected into the surgery site to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. Platelets, y’see, are rich in growth factors and cytokines, which play a pivotal role in tissue repair and regeneration. Quicker recovery times and less pain. Big among athletes etc.
As for Slater,“Post op is looking positive…Everything how it should be.”

My PT did the PRP thing for hip/labrum issues. She was an ultramarathoner and serious mountaineer among other things.
It really was a miracle cure for her.
But she still decided to drop down and only do 26.2 races, not 100 milers.
Whooa dude! Blood doping bro.
Geez Derek, you could have titillated us a bit more with that final quote about “post-op is looking positive”
Also, LOL about the crowd funding link 😀
labia
Oh man have you seen that youtube video with the one legged girl in the gym? Think of Shannon Doherty’s eye but with the camel toe.

And I bet he did it without aneasthetic given his paranoia about drugs.
He may have post surgery constipation.
I had PRP on a elbow injury, first time it didn’t work( had it done for free in the public sector were they got some bloke to practice on me ) second time I paid a real doctor not a public health trainee and complete success!
It’s not cheap but fully recommend!
A pair of dangling flaps can look quite nice hiding behind a pair of sheer panties. Much better than getting your hip cut on.
Can we crowd fund some hair implants for him?
Think this Haro dude is like the bottom of the barrel when it comes to (whatever it is he does),
think he would almost sell his own soul to make a buck or write a story, one of Zac’s paid henchmen I think.
Wouldn’t trust him with a used bar of wax.
A poor reflection on Slater I think, and the type of company he keeps.
Slater might be in the water in three months, but he won’t be standing up on a surfboard unless he wants to have a surgical revision on his hip. He’s dumb if he tries to push the recovery and three months is not even close to enough time for the femoral head to reset in the joint..
But doesn’t he have to try and beat EEs broken back recovery?
Brokeback as in Brokeback Mtn?
Mate they’ll pad the area out with accumulated foreskins and placénta’s. He’ll be fine
Xox
THIS hurts to visualize bro! But it is why I frequent this alt news site daily!!!
Slater is the guy who GRABS the change out of a homeless man’s cup. Sell some fuckin fins or sandals
Excellent anatomy lesson and flirtation with the culture wars, DR. An intersection you’re the perfect traffic cop on. Care to show off your baton, officer?
My baton is always at hand!
do you wield it more vigorously with black dudes, too?
That’s ridiculous, more vigorous with black dudes with fake tiddies and a skimpy dress xox
What foreign objects
Could possibly be present
Inside an old GOAT?
Never ending need to fleece people who still believe in him?
My teacher once fed
an aluminum can to
her old trusty goat.
Seventh grade lessons:
goats are way fucking hardcore;
cooler than teacher.
In his case I’m guessing shredded labia floating around in his joint
Given that Kelly knows more than most doctors, I’m hoping he performed the surgery on himself.
If Kelly starts referring to his injury accidents as ‘having a fall’ you know he’s getting old
They’re gonna need to install a lift on the Bells stairs next year.
yeah, cause Bailey’s won’t be there.
He may actually have a labia it has been suggested
