Kelly Slater’s young son forced to remain nameless as surf great continues his “best life tour!”

"A little UT-Georgia pre-game golf with these beauties."

So there I was, last evening, alongside much of these great United States tuning into the SEC powerhouse matchup betwixt Texas, the number one team, and Georgia, number five. 102,000 passionate boosters filled Darrel K. Royal stadium, there in Austin, most in burnt orange. The announcers Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit describing the scene while the camera panned the sidelines.

Many celebrities here,” Davis intoned as it rested on big Texas booster Matthew McConaughey. And there’s the surf guy,” as it rested on one Kelly Slater.

“Look at that,” I thought to myself, before immediately considering the plight of his freshly-ish born son.

But you certainly recall when the 11x world surfing champion and his longtime girlfriend, Kalani Miller, announced that they had welcomed a bundle of joy into this earthly plane. Slater, 56 and a becoming a father for the second time, sat down with Barton Lynch soon after the happy event and shared, “We got a little boy and my friends think we’re playing a game with him, because we haven’t said the name. Because we actually, we don’t actually don’t call him anything. We gave him a name for his birth certificate, but, as of now, we don’t have a name to call him. So, we’re kind of just, like, letting him figure out what his personality is.”

Well, ________ seems like he’s going to be ________ for the foreseeable future as Slater is truly on his “best life tour.” From Roman fancy watch boutiques to the green golf links of Scotland down to Austin, Texas and football and more golf with disgraced bicycle rider Lance Armstrong, the surf guy is making the rigorous schedule of the World Surf League Championship Tour look like a weekend getaway.

________ trying to “figure out what his personality is” all alone.

If the boy happens to be included in the aforementioned best life tour, Airline Status Slater might be a fine name. If he is not, Emotionally Scarred Slater could work.

Do you have any thoughts?

He better hurry up with a name before the WSL and some youtubers announce it for him, like they did his retirement.

Stick man

Well Ke11y’s old man was never around either apparently…like father like son.

I have a mate who after each child was born(3 off) told his wife “for the 1st 2years all the kid does is sleep shit and scream so as a mother thats your responsibility to manage i wll have have nothing to with it, after 2 when the brain is better developed kid can talk learn ect thats when i take over and i will be responsible for their development and learning until they finished school. Still married, kids completed uni ect so all good, maybe Kelly has the same plan??

Unless this child is home-schooled, somewhere, there is a public or private elementary school teacher who will have no choice but to be teacher, detective, CIA psy-ops decoder, stand-in father figure, and mostly pediatric psychotherapist to this child if things do not progress. Perhaps mother of the nameless child will also need some of the same. Not trying to do the usual BG comment section comedy and insults here. Not trying to mock the GOAT. This is no joke. Elementary teachers have this scenario every year. Just never with the “surf guy”… just imagine if a life-long fan of the “surf guy” is sharing a kidney table with kiddie seats for a 3 hour parent teacher conference with the surf guy… more questions than answers… more as the story develops…

tim_nelsen

Kidney Slater, who will be bullied all his life, will run away from home, but ultimately will be a golfer (Frisbee) and his youthful walls will be covered with John Daly posters. He will drink, smoke and have babies out of wedlock by age 15 with a Hooters girl. He will never surf but will in eternity tried to win his father’s attention. That is, if he he can pin him down.

Dude is severely allergic to parenting.

Maybe I’m wrong, but failing to name your child seems like a wonderful way to kick off negligence. Also, be at home as little as possible. Perhaps tell your kid you know more about being a child then most children?

Stick man

He has friends who are…children.

Secrets Slater.

Like all the best breaks.

Chief Hot stuff

Grom it is.

Capt Sensible

When do we get a break down of who,s in and who,s out for the 2025 CT tour.

K0o_o0K

Excessive consideration over a name for #2 while #1 was imagining bed time stories while flipping through surfer mag. Gotta sting.

justiceminister

Think Kel trying too hard to be edgy. Rocky or Reef would be somewhat meaningful. Or both like say LQ Jones. RR Slater.

channelbottom

Too old-hat.
He’d want to keep up with modernity and call him ‘Pool’ or ‘Tank’ or ‘Waveplough’ or something.

justiceminister

I suggested weeks ago that Abu Slater would be the way to go.

Hughe Johnson

Isn’t his nickname “Gator?” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rogowski

Checking on prices to catch a game at the Chavez Ravine warzone…prices are just a little bit outrageous!

tim_nelsen

Friday night in L.A.: Game 1 World Series, Yankees vs. Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Lakers-Suns at Crypt. USC-Rutgers at Coliseum. Concert at Intuit Dome. Roosevelt-Garfield at SoFi Stadium. St. John Bosco-Mater Dei at Santa Ana Stadium. Pray for every driver. David Gilmour at Hollywood Bowl. Pick me up? or just drop off the medicine~

Picard Madeoff

Shrooms at the Bowl with Gilmour sounds like the ideal event. Although VH at the Whiskey would be better…a man can dream can’t he?

tim_nelsen

oui, oui, oui…
