"I was not really in my mind."
To the surprise of very few except maybe a daddy or two living on nineties dreams, Kelly Slater, an old man headed to sixty and with a baby on his banged-up hip, has been eliminated on day one of the Lex Trestles.
In good enough waves, three foot or thereabouts, Slater was slaughtered it’s safe to say, by Italo Ferreira, 15.17 to Slater’s 7.53, with French kid Marco Mignot’s slightly better scorecard relegating Slater to the elimination round.
The elimination round against Barron Mamiya went a little better and it was only a wave in the final couple of minutes couple of minutes that gave the sexy lil Hawaiian the win, 11.97 to 10.40.
53 and still pulling that off ‼️
If only @kellyslater had 30 more seconds…

Post-heat, and with a San Clemente hoodlum pressing his titties against the glass, Slater spoke of his terrific nerves prior to the heat.
“I was not really in my mind,” said Slater.
Slater, who had won the event six times, said his sleeping patterns had been disrupted by the arrival of son Tao and that his priorities had changed ‘cause of being a daddy etc.
More, his ol body is so banged up it made doing the kinda turns necessary to win a CT heat pretty damn impossible.
“I’ve actually been pretty injured for a while,” he said. “My hip, I got surgery two years ago and it really has been a struggle for me. I haven’t been able to surf like I want and stretch and move like I want.”
You’ll remember when Slater was staggering around on crutches following serious hip surgery to repair what Slater described as a “shredded” labrum.
Slater’s hip had been real bad ever since he did the splits on a wipeout at Sunset thirty-two years ago and thought he’d snapped his femur. A few years later he was towing in Tahiti and doing flips off the back of waves when he landed weird, hurt his hip, and then in the summer of 2000 he went in for surgery to clean up the mess.
What next for the Champ? Where for the Champ?
Will you miss or has the encore of farewells left you sated?
At what does his brand is damaged by turning up for ct heats, best to do commentary spots as his stock soars behind the microphone.
The kid in the background is saying “Kelly take my kidney you’ll surf better “
And what about brave Tyler, soldiering on despite back pain, talk about tormented
He should have called it after winning 11 in Frisco twice. He had prime years ahead of him then to gift the world some free surfing gold, hip be damned!
I’d like to see Slater stop shaving and transition to displacement hulls:

Democrats have a generational love affair with slave labor provided by dark skinned people.
And I just have to say, this is the greatest in kind political contribution the left has made to benefit Conservatives in the 2026 midterms.
Well, I kinda wish Slater would just disappear, it doesn’t look like that’s quite gonna happen, but I guess him being Irrelevant is almost as good…
I remember a magazine article–this was a month or two after Iniki, so late ’92–interviewing hot Aussie groms and one of them said he was over Slater. I wonder about that sometimes, who that grom was.
If you pine for more historical musing from an aging expert, let me know here in the comments.
I’ll keep that in mind, thank you—but usually I just tune Slater out….
Might call in sick tomorrow and tell the boss I’m not really in my mind.
Tell you are in your bumhole.
Xox
I’ll tell him we’re both in my bumhole
Fuck yeah. And tell him room for one more !
Xox
Only one? Cunt, puhhhh leeeeeeeez
Let me try and help. Imagine your friends, neighbours, parents, uncles or cousins are suddenly at risk of being snatched from the streets by police and detained for hours or days (in the best case) and deported to a maximum security prison without possibility of release (in the very worst case). Further image that the police doing the snatching and deporting have shown very little regard for the law and that your friends, neighbours, parents, uncles or cousins might very well get there lives destroyed without little to no fault of their own.
In short, fathom a bit harder.
The President and DHS on January, 23 informed all illegal immigrants they must leave the U.S. and can self deport. The U.S. even created a self deportation app for illegals in which they can go to the app, enter their information, and the U.S. would pay for an airline ticket to ANYWHERE in the world they wanted to deport to, 2 months ago, DHS announced they would provide illegals with $1,000 cash when they arrived at their destination, and forgiveness of all fines.
In April, DHS launched an ad campaign warning migrants they will be fined nearly $1,000 per day and are being told to self-deport before they are caught.
There has been plenty of warning. those who did not heed the warnings are now in jeopardy of being arrested, fined and deported. Even the hardened criminals could have easily left….without being arrested and sent to “a maximum security prison”.
FAFO
What the fuck are you on about? They just had to bring a guy back from El Sal because they sent him there illegally. You really have no shame.
I know you don’t like all my facts and comments …but,fact again….undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native born citizens, and crime rates are lower in states with higher immigrant populations…..American Immigration Council/Factcheck.org!
what concern is it of yours?
what is the benefit of illegal aliens in the U.S. to you? unless deportation of illegal aliens is affecting you, what business is it of yours?
I get it, fun to sit on the other side of the ocean and bash Trump, bash America, but seriously.
you guys have your own issues in Oz. Remove the log from your own eye.
I have a business in California, have travelled to the USA/Hawaii since 1973…the USA affects everybody because , before trump , the USA was pushing globalization…suddenly in the space of 5 mths …everything has changed which affects everybody ……..so out of, not 20m but 11 m, do you think are criminals……it’s just smoke and mirrors…..so I have a direct financial interest and also I consider hawaii as my spiritual surfing home!
didn’t read this.
you don’t care about the illegal aliens. you don’t care about deportations. you don’t care about the U.S.
all you want to do is bash Trump. putting it simple, you’re just bing a dick.
Over this, Over that, Over you….. so get the fuck over it mate.
bash trump with facts , hahaha,yeah for you I am a dick who doesn’t really care about people , or when I see and confirm lies that affect everybody…the problem is the insular Americans who don’t want truth and can’t see that all of us are connected because of globalization….now you want to be a natiionalist ………so yeah you are over me…or is it what I post?
the USA was a great country and will be again because the majority of Americans do not support the direction it is currently on……so you should stop posting about the USA with lies and mistruths etc…..over to you!
Shredded labrum ?
Criiiikey
Sounds like something Flick would get after a heavy ‘workout’ with JMD…
I’ve had my hip shaved, groin surgery, Am I a rocket scientist or the fact the cunt doesn’t rest it and rehab properly instead of trying to win heats that mean absolutely nothing to his legacy while he could be surfing perfection somewhere with rich dumb cunts and then eating caviar, so is it me or has his vanity made him dumber than dumber
He would have retired after pipe but got obsessed with qualifying for the Olympics.
now he’s begging for a farewell win but can’t comprehend that he’s just some old, bald cunt.

these are the animals that protestors and rioters are trying to save from deportation.
as much as Australians come off as such pompous, high and mighty judges of humanity, perched above all on their high horses, I say: send all the illegals to Australia.
you guys take care of em’.
only 20 million.
you got this Australia. for once in your lives you can prove that you actually believe in all your virtue signaling judgement.
so Jan 6 proud boys get 15 yrs in prison then get let out with a $100m payday. these’re vicious white vigilantes as the world got to see….
ah you can’t dismiss Jan 6 as the taco incited the …protest.LOL…
Oh yes us Australians, pompous/ high and mighty judges on our high horses, as we watch the carnage against the legal and illegal immigrants…..maybe we should take them as….interesting fact….in 2022 illegal immigrants contributed $100b in fed/state and local taxes and $12 b for medicare……so othere than losing a big part of USA’s cheap labor…well in excess of $110 b lost also….just sayin……sounds like they contribute a lot!
as I said above:
Australia should take them, and have them contribute to the Australian economy.
Cheap labor and $100b in fed/state and local taxes and $12 b for Australian Medicare. Score!
you can have all of them.
we’ll give em’ to you. all 20 million……free cheap labor and tax payers.
bargain, mate!
imagine: 10 million households in Australia, 20 million illegals in the U.S.
You could have 2 per household, maybe a maid and a gardener, a chef and a nanny…..maybe you’ll get lucky and get a drug smuggler, human trafficker and murderer……who can do dishes. that way, you get your drugs, your sex slaves and a guy who kills all the victims……and cleans your kitchen.
Please……..please petition your government to take them all, because if you don’t…you’re just a racist who doesn’t care about poor migrants.
Lol, good ole USA spends pretty much it’s entire existence fucking over the southern nations, then the chickens come home to roost & it’s suddenly “why us, please won’t someone else take our problem”. Lulzy, lulzy lulzzzzzz!
“USA spends pretty much it’s entire existence fucking over the southern nations”….and yet it is the most desired place for them to live
he did mention chickens…chook chook ,LOl!
Exactly! USA ruined their countries for a few $$$, so now they’re all coming to the USA. Shocking, eh?
so most of these illegal immigrants legally pay their taxes, provide a cheap work force …Ilikethe idea of getting rid of them all so the Americans can get their jobs back……fruit picking/cleaning/nanny’s/gardening.dishes…do you think that currently unemployed American’s can fill the 20 m jobs and also become part of el Taco’s manufacturing in the USA pipe dream…??
As for the drugs/murder etc this is a domestic USA problem…you have about 130-50gunshot deaths a day …and over 300+ per day shot..normal?
USA wants illegal drugs…..so they are supplied….to kill the demand for illegal drugs…death sentence for possession might work?
yes I am racist like everybody……do you think you could replace some of illegal immigrant workers???
I think it’s pretty evident that the proud boys are the new poster boys of maga,LOL?
cluck, cluck cluck, the hens all walk in circles clucking….but when it comes to action…….nothing.
Australians are famous for rallies for all kinds of causes. You want to help the poor illegal aliens trapped in the U.S. under big mean dictator President Trump, hold rallies, petition your government.
Do It. Petition your government and request all illegals in the U.S. be sent to Auatrsalia. in all your comments you talk about all the great things ad benefits illegals aliens provide to a country, with all your stats and quotes.
So instead of just clucking with all the other hens, do something about it.
Otherwise, shut the fuck up and let the U.S. deal with it based on U.S. law.
yeah we the only country that has followed the USA into every war….your best ally now gone!
Australia now disapproves of the USA with 7 in 10 people….6 in 10 approve of China, double the USA……why?
I really see the whole illegal immigrant thing, just like drugs…the USA needs them more than they need the USA……yeah stats and quotes..facts vs maga bullshit based on lies and misinformation…….at least we still have freedom in Australia for all , not just for donny toxic taco and his cult!
cluck, cluck cluck….peck, peck, peck….cluck, cluck
now thats what I call an informed maga opinion….chook chook!
damn seppos,LOL..
Watts = 1965
… not a rose bowl year
Kelly won the elimination round easily. Barron and Seth get over scored because they are Hawaiian… there has to be a couple of Hawaiian men on the tour you know.
But they made the cut already.
nice, a Rose Bowl year
Ke11y has entered his Washington Wizards era
well, a lot of clothing factories, other factories, big farms, rely on illegal immigrants to do their labor at a cheap price.
So that could have something to do with it.
And living in LA —is probably enough to make you ‘snap’ over almost anything.
Just Driving on the freeways there is almost enough to make you crazy.
You know. Everyone knows
Times have changed. I remember when Kelly used to make injury excuses to not show up at events he couldnt be fucked with. Now they are to try and explain why he gets knocked. If he knew he was so cooked coming into the event he should of given up his spot to some grom who could actually use the last place check!
Zactly !
He’s morphing into just another silly old cunt.
I reckon he morphed some years ago.
should have given the spot to Kolohe
I would enjoyed that just to hate-watch
