- An act of selflessness and humility from 11x World Surf League Champion, and one time Eddie Aikau contest winner, Kelly Slater, who chose not to surf in this year's contest in order to help a fellow surfer..
Sometimes it takes more balls not to go out on big days than going out, the goat inspires us every time.
Mahalos brah!
That was a nice interview and cool to see KS be candid and relaxed about why he gave up his spot.
So Cool of Kelly too step aside for his buddy. In the Eddie Aikau Waimea Bay Big 🌊 competition. 🏄 🤙
The best surfer the world has ever seen. No one will ever win 11 world titles in surfing again. Thanks for the interview, Kelly does not do very many interviews.
Here here! Coco Beach Florida Home Town of Kelly Slater 11-time world champ 🏄 🤙
@@kevinkhoy7171 Exactly, I have been a Florida surfer since 1974. Kelly represents our state very well!

@@kevinkhoy7171 bungee cord leashes that were tied in a loop before velcro anke straps! Thanks Kevin Sebastian Inlet was excellent!
@@robertquigley5869 Oh Man, 😁 I totally Forgot! Yes! Bungee Cords! 1973/74 ? I actually drill a hole in my "Tom Overlin" Swallowtail single fin. To put on an elastic leash with a leather strap! Lol! 😆Thanks for the memories. RQ69 🤙

If you think KS is scared, you havent followed his career. Never backed down from any challenge (winner of every Hawaiian big wave event by the way)
I don't see him as scared. As you point out, he's very experienced, and made a wise decision.
Kelly was just being generous. Letting his buddy compete. He's been there, he's done it! "Many Times"
If you’re not feeling it; you’re not feeling it…
Not entirely true. he backed down on that perfect giant Fiji day. still the GOAT though.

That's super solid of you Kelly👍🤙 ohana love 🙏💜✝️🦆🦆🦆 mahalos 🤙🌊💜
Endless respect for Kelly!
This surf is big, but not ideal. It's wise to let it pass, then end up severely injured
Kelly really is the GOAT!
Class act all the way and honorable.
that was nice of Kelly to give up his spot
Great story
Wise.
Kind Kelly Slater
Bobby Owens Son 👍
Hey Chris, remember that time Kelly gave up his spot at the Eddie? Shut up!!!!!
scade, bock, bock, bock
He should have given his spot to flip
