"There are a lot of people doubting me, saying they should have given the wildcard to a local…it pisses me off."
Tears, screechin’, walls and screens splattered with ol man genetic code, just then, as Kelly Slater, old as time itself, reminded everyone why he is the greatest surfer ever, thrashing Gabriel Medina at real big, real ugly Teahupoo.
In his post-heat interview, Slater said it was a pep talk from Jez Flores as well as the heat from surf fans suggesting he should’ve given the wildcard to a local that drove him to prove his credentials.
Chris Cote
And now I need to hear it all. Talk about the start — the hard times, the broken board, a couple of severe poundings — and then the glory. Start with the wipeout, then talk about the barrels.
Kelly Slater
Yeah, I definitely had to settle in. I knew going against Gabe, he’s just so savvy of a competitor. I have to thank my coach, Jeremy Flores, for the pep talk online today. I wasn’t with him — I haven’t seen him today or yesterday — but he gave me some pit talk on what he was doing on the broadcast. That actually got me thinking about how to engage and get into it, and I tried to push it a bit deeper today.
There are some big lumps coming across it, so it’s hard — if you take off behind one of those lumps, it’s almost impossible to make it on that first one. I was a little bit deep and didn’t get a super clean entry. I kind of delayed my paddle a little trying to find a bump and it whitewashed me. Then, when I finally got up in the barrel, I fell into a cavern and got smashed. I don’t remember the exact sequence, but then I took off on a massive one — probably one of the bigger ones I’ve ever paddled into out here. I dove from the left, started paddling, and thought maybe I was under it. But the apex of the ledge went underneath me, and I thought, well, the boys would be stoked if I went for it, so I just stood up and jumped. I was in the air just thinking, ‘Eli Hanneman, I know how you feel.
So shout out to you, Eli — you inspired me there. But then I just thought, look, I’m going to have a good heat with Gabe. I don’t know if I’ll ever have another heat with him, and he got me last time, so I needed to settle in.
I just started doing little breathing exercises, calming down, getting the heart rate down, and focusing — okay, start over here. Then he got that long one all the way in, and I kind of pulled a Medina on him. I got a barrel — a short one at the seven — but it was a nice, chunky short one. Then I was sitting on the back on priority, and I could see Strider just going, ‘You better get this thing.’
So yeah, it was fun.
Chris Cote
It was a lot of fun. Now, revenge is a dish best served at Chopes. In 2014 you had the final with Medina, and I know you were thinking about it. How good did that feel to get the edge today?
Kelly Slater
Yeah, it felt good — best swell out here in about twelve years, I’d say. That final we had was a dream scenario anyway, just to be in that heat, in those conditions — and after having that heat with John, which will go down in my lifetime as, I think, the top of all the heats I’ve ever had. A dream scenario, tied with John out here, and to surf against both those guys in the same contest was super special. These last couple of days, if the wind had been like that, they would’ve been similar.
It just — if it was glassier, it’d be the same kind of thing we’re looking at. But, super special. I just knew Gabe was probably going to start getting a bunch of waves and settle himself into some sort of sevens and eights, and then, if he stuck himself underneath one of those big ones, he could easily get a nine or whatever.
He only needed a nine at the end, and I was thinking he’s not far out — he was super in this heat right then. Part of me was thinking he’d come back, and part of me was thinking it would be super cool if he came back and beat me, because it would just make the heat such a good story, you know.
But then I settled back out there after he came back out of the combo situation, and I just thought, okay, let’s think about putting him in a combo situation here. What I need to do is maximize what’s out here, as opposed to just trying to play it safe. Let’s maximize the points out here — and that’s how I ended up getting a good one out of it.
Chris Cote
Well, how about the rest of the runs so far — when you accepted this wildcard, is this everything you expected, or is it something different?
Kelly Slater
No, it’s kind of what I expected. Obviously, if you see the comments, there are a lot of people doubting me, saying they should have given the wildcard to a local. I get a lot of people saying that.
Shout out to Ryan and Nelson — all good. But when you see a friend say it, it pisses you off, you know. But without pressure you got no diamonds, so it kind of fired me up to see that stuff.
And also, if people feel that way — even after all this time — yeah, I have something to prove. I need to go out and show that it went to the right guy. If I’d lost that heat, it might have still felt that way, but I think I proved myself there. I usually have a hard heat or two early on, and once I start doing well, it settles me down, so I think I’ll feel a lot calmer after that.
Like I told you before, I felt like I had a bit of a stomach ulcer. I mean, we don’t need to talk about all of that, but everyone knows Gabriel’s been through a lot lately — highs and lows. We’ve become good friends, and I really appreciate his surfing and his career. I think he’s awesome.
So, huge shout out to Gabriel. It’s tough to come all this way and lose to someone who’s not in the title race — that kind of thing. I’m on the other side of that now, so I feel all those emotions: the toughness of the travel, being away from family, all of that. When you have a loss, it sucks. So yeah, that was a very emotional heat — I almost started crying afterwards.
Chris Cote
So it was great. Lastly, how much confidence do you have that you can win this contest?
Kelly Slater
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

lolololol comment of the year award
Tough one for Gabby, understandable considering he’s going through a personal tragedy. He looked out of it.
Having said that, I really dislike Kelly, but man that was a fucking treat. Unbelievable what he was able to do after those massive beatings. Dude was unrattled, came back from a terrible start and remined us haters of why he’s the goat.
Pure art.
What kind if personal tragedy is Gabby going thru?
his wife lost their baby 2 days before the event.
Oh shit! That is about as bad as it can get. Thanks.
Love the Python reference but…
Surfing, drama and history? Yeah sure he ticks those boxes in the bubble of surfing.
Unprecedented human achievement? Really!? he’s good at sliding around on water; he didn’t cure cancer.
Character arc? nah sorry, other than putting on fantastic displays of surfing the bloke’s kinda boring (see Joe Rogan appearance).
His longevity is impressive, but let’s not forget he’s been granted unlimited gardening leave to rest his body whenever he felt like it and has had a ridiculous amount of injury wildcards.
Sportsmanship? What like snaking people…but then making racist comments when Brazilian’s do the same, and being an expert thunder stealer (see Adriano, Joel, etc., etc.). Always having a bloody excuse when he loses. The foot! The back! The waves! blah blah blah.
you are both correct
– His foot was destroyed. His back has gone through 40yrs of pacific reef slab wipeouts that would drown you 5x over.
– Joel Snapper drop in is standard use of priority in a heat, happens all the time. Normal AF.
Slater does amazing stuff and Gelato finds the hate, quite amazing. What have you achieved lately Gelato? Why don’t you just go for a walk and calm down, do some breathing exercises like Slater did after his gnarly wipeout, helped him win the heat, maybe they’ll help you too
I wasn’t talking about the Kirra (not Snapper) drop-in – I thought that was funny but as you say absolutely non-controversial. I was talking about Slater telling the world he was retiring about 5mins after Joel announced his retirement, therefore stealing his thunder, as he likes to do. Nice try at implying I don’t know my stuff, but all you’ve done there is shown you’re not very good at making sense of things. Or maybe your ability to read was hampered by the residue of Kelly’s spunk in your eyes?
We’re a brilliant species ,as witnessed today
brilliant yet hopeless I say with dismay
a man who is over a half century old
has schooled all the hotshots
let it be told.
of course we don’t like a thing that he says.
but by God I will watch that
again and again
there’s no place for sorrow at the end of the road
even for those who have beaten the goat
Medina will win .
will win in the end
that much I’m sure of,that much I know
right to the end. The end of the road
beautiful
Aagh thanks Rocks !
To take those beatings and keep swinging at 54 is wild.
So looking at the forecast on Swellnet Im guessing another day of the fellas tomorrow then the Sheilas the following day when it drops off and cleans up a bit more? Am I setting me alarm for 3 or what Longy?
Three thirts
Yes
I have something in common with old baldy cuz that heat made me feel like crying too
Mate it was the best thing in pro surfing all year
I’m only joking mate and Astro and Occ sum it up perfectly. I literally can’t stand the cunt but fuck me he’s still amazing in heavy waves. I just wish I didn’t have to listen to another word he ever says about anything
Easy!… When you see his mouth start moving, jam a finger in each ear hole, and repeat ” lalala, I am not listening to you”… works every time.
best evers
Guess the chicks will run Saturday when its 2-3ft. Equal pay & all that vaginalisttic shit… Hope Tyler Wrights chicks charge on her board. Or has she got a broken tooth?
You’re very jealous of women aren’t you
He is the King of surfing. But fuck he’s hard to like. Wonder if he breaks down his wank sessions to see where he can improve or beat his opponents..
I liked him a lot more prior to Instagram. He’s still the GOAT though. I guess they can’t all be cool like JJF.
Kelly was super cool when he still had a head of hair.
That was the greatest 40 minutes of surf competition ever. I watched the Kelly / jjf heat live. It was cool.
But this was epic. The insanity of the swell and winds. Kelly getting obliterated on one and then pin dropping a massive ledge and his board being obliterated. Him swimming through the lineup for his backup.
And then that motherfuckikg 9.76. The greatest non 10 point ride in history.
The no hands drop where his rail picks just for a spit second. Pulling under and rodeo clowning that growling beast of a barrel.
Exiting with all the steeze.
I swear to god , if I never watch another heat in my life I’ll die satisfied.
The knack Kelly has for conjuring up giant tropical slabs when it matters most is unparalleled. The man is a lot of things, but I’ll happily watch that fucker surf as long as he wants because he usually delivers, as he did today.
Only matched by his Pipe win in 2022
the pipe win was epic. That backdoor monster he made was beautiful, the other last second wave to win the early heat etc.
but damn you could film an entire epic movie around just that Medina heat.
Shaping up to be the best retirement event on Kelly’s mantel.
Enough is enough, the Goat needs a knighthood. Sir Kelly Slater. King Charles needs to get onboard and bend the rules for this one.
If Kelly is not the best then who is?
Twiggy.
Xox
Kanoa has the best hair and skin

Anyone check on Bexy yet?
He’s having a cry pokey bum wank in his dungeon.
Xox
Bexy’s not really bothered hes just busy wanking over Donnys handling of Iran and Middle East mate
Ive got an intern for that
Suspect Kelly is (or has been) a long-term patient of Dr. Landy Jr.
can’t stand him but ya gotta give credit where credit’s due. He’s a freak. Unique.
Better surfer got the better waves and won on the day.
Whether he deserves to be there is a different ball of wax and no point arguing that now….
My favourite of the morning was our newly crowned horticulturalist, kaipo.
he uses coconut trees to predict damn near everything. I’m going to give it a go coz I’ve got a couple as house plants. Unfortunately they’re coconut palms. I wonder if they’ll work. I’ll let you all know later.
Coconut wireless better than BG for surf news adjacency
I think kaips has taken a few too many to the head ….
… sticking with the horticultural theme: No rose without the thorn.
Incredible athleticism!
Kaipo and the australian girl commenter(still don’t know or care what her name is) make the WSL hard for me to watch. Not because I don’t like it… my girlfriend can’t stand them so she always makes me stop watching for something else every time I watch.
Jimmy Slade is building momentum. Is it sheer will power stacked with some trt shots and peptides…or full on ego driven audacity…Stay tuned.
All of the above
Kelly was missing the point though. Hardly anyone was doubting his ability to mix it with the best at big Chopes. The problem people have is that he essentially bought his wildcard by sponsoring the event. And that’s just a bit suss, regardless of how many 9s he gets and how much Strider hoots and hollers from the channel.
Sheesh, tough crowd.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
mark-ass marks, trick-ass marks, punk bitches, and skip-scap skanks and scallywags—ho’s, heifers, hee-haws and hula hoos.
The Chairman of the Kering Group (the majority shareholder in OuterKnown) selected the wildcard. It was between Kelly and Sage Erikson, of their team riders.
Sage had a bruised heel while Kelly only had an ulcer, so he just squeezed in.
Also, i think that you’re the one who’s missing the point. The masses wanted the Goat; not some Tahitian kid.
Sage Erickson…lol
That’s an amusing thought but I disagree with sponsors wildcards full stop (is it only OK™ that get them these days?!). The fact that Kelly owns the frickin company makes it way worse. And the fact that Kelly’s co-worker put in the actual application proves what exactly? Is that an acceptable separation of power for you!? Lol. …and the wildcard just popped through his letterbox while he was changing a nappy and he was like oh wow, I had no idea. I’m going to Tahiti baby!
You should put all this effort into something more worthwhile..
Fighting poverty/hunger, stopping war..
Trying this hard to spread anti-Kelly Wildcard non-sense isn’t the best use of your time IMO. We all wanna see him surf in comps when its gnarly, you clearly don’t. Quite simple, ends there.
End of the day the folks putting up the cash get a few sponsor exemptions to throw around, same thing happens in golf. And to those folks it’s always going to come down to what’s best for the event. A no name up and comer might be the most deserving, but they aren’t driving viewership like a Kelly Slater, or Tiger Woods. And pro surfing needs all the eyeballs it can get.
At least with this wildcard the GOAT in question has a legitimate chance of winning the event, that almost never happens in golf.
Just because golf gets something wrong doesn’t mean surfing should do the same. Maybe surfing does need eyeballs, but adding a few in the short-term whilst devaluing the product in the long-term might not be the best strategy.
So worth it. I would rather watch Kelly out there in heaving pits than some young kid i hardly know. Also, he knocked out Gabe in a cracker of a heat. If Oreary takes down Italo then the title race is blown wide open.
That is a shithouse take. The best wildcard is the one who realisticly has a shot at winning the event, KS does. It’s bloody exciting. I don’t give a fuck that his company sponsors the event, in fact I’m grateful. Look to J Bay for what happens when no one will step up and sponsor the event.
Kelly should have wildcards to Tahiti, Fiji and Pipe for as long as he wants them. He’s earned it.
So you’re fine with low key corruption in pro surfing, so long as you get to keep watching the goat, no matter how decrepit he’s become, because he’s, like, the goat, man! Got it. Maybe it’s your take that’s shithouse? Suggesting Kelly should have wildcards to his pet events for as long as he wants them makes you sound like a prize buffoon. Let go dude!
What corruption you fuckin peanut. He obviously deserves the spot and has delivered. Look at the PR that he is generating for the WSL. The best local got a spot and was knocked out in round one by a bloke ranked 31st.
It’s obviously not Watergate that’s why I said low key, but sponsors buying entries is corrupt. But because it’s something of a tradition in surfing (Although only OK™ seem to be doing it these days) and it’s the GOAT not many people give a shit. Fine. But don’t try and tell me it’s not a minor form of corruption. And there’s a hell of a lot of Tahitians, random chargers, and other washed up ex pros that could have delivered in those conditions. Why didn’t they deserve the wildcard? Because, like, it’s Kelleeeee?! Yeah but look at everything he’s done for the sport? Legacy…yada yada yada. So what – all the more reason for WSL to grow a backbone and change the record. The oh wow Kelly’s still got it story is beyond boring now and it certainly doesn’t need to be perpetuated by dubious wildcards.
When you’re the greatest competitive surfer ever and still performing at the highest level at a certain spot and are the most popular surfer ever so therefore bringing viewers to the sport that struggles to get viewers and your company is the main sponsor of the event then you get a wild card – every time. Easy
Righton Kelly
Gelato makesure when JJF & his bro’s are in the Pipe comp, cos there company is sponsoring it, ya better get all wound up and post about all their corruption, go onto Johns IG & complain. Gotta be consistent. FFS. Just don’t watch his heats if you dislike him jesus christ.
Did they give themselves wildcards though? Pretty sure they wouldn’t have had to as it’s a regional QS event that anyone in theory can enter anyway. Well done man you’ve done an excellent job of proving you’re really stupid today. Luckily for you nobody is reading our comments and even if they are they don’t know you from Adam.
Who wants this gelato dude to take a hike & leave the comment section – if ya do gimme a thumbs up on this comment, #lamebuzzkill
Good spin on Eimeo Czermak’s contribution by the way. He was unlucky to lose against Seth Moniz, one of the CTs bona fide heavy water specialists, in one of if not the heat of the event so far and showed he clearly has the kind of talent needed to win the event. It’s a cliché but that heat could have been a final. If the wildcard positions had been switched Seth could’ve easily beaten Slater instead of Eimeo in the opening round. If we’re spin doctoring, how about this… Kelly only had to overcome the #29 bloke before coming up against a bloke whose mind was clearly elsewhere after a recent personal trauma. The fact you’ve resorted to personal insults affirms that you have no class and nothing to say beyond “isn’t Kelly Slater brilliaaaaaaaaaant.”
Gelato, that’s an impressive amount of tortured logic to avoid admitting the obvious.
Nobody said Eimeo wasn’t talented or that Seth didn’t surf well. The point was that Kelly earned his spot, turned up, generated enormous attention for the event, and then won his heat. That’s not “spin doctoring” it’s what actually happened.
And dragging a bloke’s personal trauma into an argument to diminish his performance? That’s a pretty fucking grim.
You accuse me of having “no class” while writing an essay explaining why Kelly’s win somehow doesn’t count. Just enjoy the fact that a 54-year-old legend just gave everyone something worth watching.
I suggested that Gabe being out of sorts due to personal issues made Kelly’s task easier. That’s not even close to saying Kelly’s win didn’t count. Also, as I said, I was mimicking the way you picked only the parts of the story that back your argument at the expense of the full picture, but I guess that went over your head.
And how are you figuring Kelly’s earned his spot? Buying yourself a wildcard by sponsoring the event is kinda the opposite of earning your spot. And please don’t trot out that ‘but he’s done so much for the sport’ bs. It’s nonsensical. By that rationale Bugs, Mark Richards, Shaun Thompson and others should get wildcards too no? Kelly’s still got what it takes has he? Turns out he couldn’t string more than two decent heats together.
you’re out the gate gelato, why don’t ya just go comment elsewhere & let the regular folk enjoy chatting about one of the greatest achievements in surfing & sporting history. You’re killing the vibe with your weird logic & non-sensical, illogical anti-kelly tantrums. Hopefully you end up on his IG like that Ronnie guy lol
Mate, I understood exactly what you were saying, I just don’t agree with the argument. There’s a pretty big difference between saying “Gabe being out of sorts made Kelly’s job easier” and then repeatedly framing the result around that as though it somehow diminishes what Kelly did. He still had to beat him.
And on the wildcard, sponsoring an event doesn’t magically buy you a spot. The point is that Kelly has earned the right to be there through what he’s contributed to surfing, his competitive history, his influence on the sport, and, importantly, the fact that people actually want to see him surf. You can argue whether that should qualify for a wildcard, but pretending he’s just some bloke who wrote a cheque and bought his way into the draw is a pretty spectacular oversimplification.
As for Bugs, MR, Shaun, etc. If they were still capable of generating the same level of interest, performance and relevance that Kelly does, then sure, make the argument. But they aren’t. Kelly is a completely different proposition.
And “he couldn’t string more than two decent heats together” Come on. He’s 54, surfed one of the best waves in the world against guys half his age, and still managed to put on a performance good enough that everyone is talking about him. If your benchmark for whether he belongs is “did he win the whole event?”, then I’m afraid you’ve missed the point entirely.
Talk about putting 2 and 2 together and making 5! I didn’t say anything remotely similar to “Kelly needs to win the event to prove he belongs” just as I didn’t say anything along the lines of “Kelly didn’t deserve the win against Medina”. FYI clumsily misconstruing someone’s argument and then expanding on it on their behalf isn’t a great basis for asserting that they’ve missed the point!
By highlighting the fact that Kelly only had two good heats in him I was merely questioning his ability to put together the string of heat wins required to win an event. But that’s just an opinion and the goat might prove me wrong if (or, let’s face it, when) the WSL decide to prop him up again with another wildcard. Let’s face it though – it’s very unlikely.
Thing is, based on your earlier comments, you were very much making a results based argument for his inclusion. But as soon as he lost it seemed to be more about, well, what exactly? He gave us something worth talking about? Sure did, but so did Eimio, even if his run was cut short. There’s plenty of up-and-comers, Tahitians and underground chargers that could have given us something to talk about, and for me that would have been much more interesting than YET ANOTHER Kelly comeback story.
I understand that you and lots of other people want to see Kelly surf. Because you’re too lazy to entertain a new story? You want to keep living vicariously through someone you’ve hero worshipped for decades? If Kelly dies maybe a bit of you dies too? It’s quite sweet really, a bit like a dog remaining faithful to a homeless wino.
I also get the argument that Kelly Slater is good for eyeballs and therefore good for the sport. (And I appreciate this isn’t something you’ve been pushing that hard, if at all, so this is more of a general point.) I get it but I disagree. A 54-year-old still having what it takes is an easy story. The muppets at the Guardian in the UK ran with it ffs. But it’s a fallacy. He’s getting parachuted into pet events and occasionally putting on a good performance – but he’s been nowhere near winning an event for years. When did he last qualify for an event fair and square? He’s over a decade away from actually having what it takes (fitness, versatility, energy, enthusiasm) to compete in a proper sense, as in, over the course of a season. But the eyeballs though! Maybe in the short term. But if the WSL have turned pro surfing into the Slater show, what happens when Slater’s done?
Wow lol, this is quite amazing, Kelly could win Tahiti, CB, pipe, and arrive at your house with $1 million bucks & give it to you (GElato boy) as a random gift, and you’d still complain about him. Interesting, I wonder how this strange anti-kelly stuff developed in your brain, should do a study on it, put ya in an MRI & have some scientists do a journal article.
Slater also could’ve come up against Seth & beaten him, like pipe in 2022.. If Slaters so lame why don’t you enter as a gelato WC and show the world what ya got lol
Ah yes, of course you’d offer your own variation on ‘well I’d like to see you do better.’ Nothing shouts ‘I’m a half-wit’ quite like that one.
KS enters one contest this year, gets 2nd highest heat score of the entire year, dominates dudes less than half his age in life threatening conditions, still gets hassled.. Nobody done more for competitive surfing than Kelly, he has the best record in history at Chopes.. In golf if you win a major event, you are granted entry for life. This is how it should be for surfing. If you can’t handle all this ‘low key corruption’ – why don’t ya just not watch the goats heats? (You’ll miss the best surfing in the entire event, but at least you won’t have to moan about your anti-Kelly-ness). What’s a goat gotta do to earn WCs’ to a few events each year? Compete at the highest level for 90 years & get 30 world titles? Surely 40 years & 11 titles is enough to warrant 3-5yrs of 2-3 annual WCs’ at spots where he is still pushing the limits of surfing & dominating crew… But you won’t agree so I will stop typing & save my energy
Er, no they don’t grant golf major winners lifetime repeat entry because it’s a really dumb idea. But it would be an even more dumb idea in surfing. Golfers can play to a decent level into old age whereas surfers and most other sportspeople can’t for obvious reasons. Not sure what how big the field is in golf but CT events only have around 30 entrants and that’s about the same amount of ex-winners that would be eligible for entry into for long-standing events like Bells and Pipe if your retarded idea was put into practice.
100%, finally someone talking sense. Yea I wish OK would sponsor Pipe, CB, & Chopes for the next 5 years. If Slate is in these comps, he can win them. Basically only looses due to lulls.. Had the girls been put on a day later, he’d have taken dodgy prio boi jack out with his no hands psycho cone-lordness.
For sure. Kelly still has it in waves of consequence, and the hype he brings to the event is something you just can’t buy. If anything, the WSL should be paying him an appearance fee. Although I secretly think he already has an ownership share in the WSL anyway 😂
As for Jack, I definitely want to see him do well too, but it would’ve been bloody amazing to see KS take him down and go on to the finals.
I despise Slater for lots of reasons, but even if he did buy the wildcard, it went to the right dude, clearly. Who else would you want to see who’s not on tour?
John John
Gerry Lopez
Lewis Hamilton
Jonah Hill
Sage Erickson
Wiggolly Dantas
Okay, now that’s a solid list. I agree.
Florence MArine X sponsoring Pipe comp so obviously JJF will be in that.. Normal for sponsors to have their riders in the comp.. Kelly has best historical record ever at Tahiti, CB, Pipe. He can still dominate his rivals at these spots when its big and consistent. So why not compete? Hope he keeps doing it. I don’t care how he gets in, I wanna watch him push surfings limits, far prefer that over some new young 20yr old who would’ve sat on the shoulder terrified & guaranteed got a total heat score beneath 5 points, (obviously this doesn’t apply to locals, they’re the best out there, but Eimeo was in, so all those people complaining about no locals in the comp were misinformed). I was entertained by the goat, surfing limits were pushed, that’s what its about IMO. Highlight of the contest was slater, how he obtained entry is irrelevant to me. But we can agree to disagree, anti-goat peeps like Gelato will always find something unsatisfactory
Did you just gave us a double shot Dez..
Dexy’s Midnight Runners!
Ah, young Derek, shall I commence on the Harpsichord? Please follow;
