Kelly Slater In Bali - Uluwatu, 8 September 2020

- It was pumping on the 8th of September, but what had people buzzing was news that surfer, author, actor, model, businessman, and innovator*: Mr Kelly Slater was in town.
There hasn't been a whole lot of footage of Kelly surfing in Indo over the last few years, so it feels pretty special to have him here in Bali during a swell.
Speaking of which, it got quite solid the following day with some very good and consistent Padang Padang.
The crowd was thick but Robert still managed to snag a few good ones - so check in again at 7pm Bali time for tomorrows Padang Padang clip.

Just wanted to say "Thank You" to all the folks at 'Surfers of Bali' for putting these videos up. Such a joy and privilege. I love the fact that there is no music. Just the sounds of our mother ocean along with people on the beach. Simple... Nice to see Kelly... 😊💗👍✌
Surfing and beautiful asses, what life’s all about
Thanks mate, we really appreciate reading this 🙂🙏
Hes becoming a pretty good surfer.
LOL
Here is why i am famous. I shook his hand at Malibu Point, Los Angeles. I surfed with him in the Mentawaii islands Indonesia. Our video footage on that trip is proof!
Ryan Vick ur not famous
@@sawyerscialdone3313 you're saying you never heard of me? I'm that guy that surfs alot. I thought everybody seen me by now.
Ryan Vick
I shared a room with his brother at the NSSA in Huntington Beach, Kelly came to our room party and didn’t drink, the rest of us got tanked. Anyhoo, I’m the coolest!
Amazing video! I grew up surfing, and unfortunately moved a long way from the beach when I was 17, and have every intention of moving back. Unfortunately, I was never able to make it back, but I love watching these videos and listening to the ocean. No music, no gimmicks, just mother nature at its finest. Haven't been on a way even over 20 years, but damn it soon I will be!
😊🙏🏼
This is how you know it's fun out there. in Bali, indonesia. 6:45 broken board. And he's still smiling.
These are the best videos of all time.
🙂👍🙏
Wow! KS. Straight up best surfer that ever lived.
Is that Kelly? 1:20 yep that's Kelly
exactly

Me after a double-take: "Wait...how...?"
That bald guy at the first was pretty good! I bet if he worked at it, he could win contests and everything.
Ha!
Excellent episode
Thank you very much for your work.
🙂🙂🙂
😂
Kelly is from my home town😄. If only that transferred in skills😔. Cheers everyone🤙🏽💚
Tanner Gauge same bro... if only 😅🤙

Kelly is the best athlete you have never heard of.
That backhand 360 was sick!
So smooth, and still pushing himself. Poetry in motion
I had lunch that day with Kelly, generous tipper.
Amazing backhand surfing from the King
Ah Man, Kelly Slater, is THE best but how come he gets to Bali when I can't go. So jealous, Man. Still great Vid and Kelly looks cool out there at Uluwata.
I can generally always pick Slater out of a line up once he pops up. Plus that little magic trick he does at 1:20-30... “now you see me, now you don’t... here I am!”... Slater magic....
Carving 360 is a favorite of his !
the 2 diff camera locations are such radical change, fantastic place, cool video 10 up
🙂👍🙏
I was surfing with him a few months ago on the Gold Coast !! He sure do get around !
Yep how and why?
Best surf channel , keep rocking
🙂👍🙏
Always so enjoyable to watch 😊 Thanks
🙂👍
This is my morning mellowing session every day...............ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Many locals with great skills
Much appreciate this video and of course the GOAT Slater - SOB you guys are top!
My other question is how did this guy get into Bali? I guess Slater is like Moses, rocks up with his board and and parts the sea for him to walk through!
Probably a work visa.
Traveling across the world for a swell. Kelly’s a 50 year old kid!
Great video.
I watching your video almost every day
Thank you!
good to see the locals ruling the breaks of Bali..enjoy!!!
Becoming? He's one of the best of all time!
Smart move of kelly going over to indo during covid. He never liked crowded indo with its trash problem. Now its empty and maybe a bit cleaner with way less consuming people around. Good on ya kelly !
how was Kelly able to enter Indonesia?
Only possibility I see is if he got a: social/cultural visa with a local sponsor, or a business visa. Having said that; I'm not up-to-date on Indonesia's current policies regarding these visas in regard to COVID. I do know, like you probably do, that tourist visas on arrival have been suspended to at least 2021. EDIT: oh wait, Indonesia ranking very high on the corruption index, there is a possibility he has paid of/used his fame/money as leverage to come in. Just saying.
Rules don't apply to the rich....silly peasants
Bribery and corruption, of course, why didn't I think of that! 🤷♂️
He is a pro surfer numerous reasons that he could get entry with a business type Visa, like promotion work etc
Banjar Backhanders 🎰
Another great video. One comment however, "the Indonesian government says I can't go but others seem to be able?"
Kelly probably entered on a work visa.
HEAVEN EXISTS...
Checking the visa restrictions on Bali.. not sure how Kelly got in, and yes, I'm not a fan of the special treatment unless someone can explain it to me :
'Other than [international travelers being banned from Bali], the Balinese government has released a statement detailing who and what are allowed to enter the island. They include transports of basic security, logistical, and medical purposes, diplomatic personnel, personnel working for government projects, and personnel related to COVID-19 aid management.
The Vice Governor of Bali in a conference feed also added that entries are allowed for patients in need of emergency help, passengers attending to urgent matters like death or illness in the immediate family, and repatriated migrant workers and overseas Indonesian students.'
Yup. Bali is about to go into full lockdown again.
Bali in general is so much better than his mechanical wave pool.. The Bali water is warmer too.
WTF is he doing in Bali ? isn't the international border closed until the end of the year ?
That's what I was thinking. Typical American!! They think the rules don't apply to them and it's okay for them to spread covid around the world 🤨
Maybe has a residence there🤷🏼♂️
Kolohe Andino and Griffin Calapinto are in the Mentawaiis too, check out Macaronis Facebook page
Adam Waz You do realize travel restrictions aren’t friendly suggestions, yea? You shouldn’t be concerned about a single person. If you really care, you’d probably be asking why Bali is letting in travelers.
DUDE ! You beat me by ten seconds. That shifty yank was in Aus in June, now Bali,,, the world is now closed to all but the rich. Good waves but, lucky buggers.
great timing SOB cameraman. at the right time at the right spot.
Inhuman backside 360 @ 1:20. Bails on a late drop at 1:33. Cutback at 1:50. Carve-ups @ 2:00
I'm so proud! His parents named him after me. :P
SOB, you do know I'm joking, right?
The best
Rio and that tall kid were ripping !!
Da GOAT!
Is he really in Bali now?? How is possible to get inside??
yes, my friend told today
you can get a visa, if you search and look, you will find the way
Probably on a work visa
🐐
Hells yeah!
was that strider with rizal ? also i thought i saw eli haniman also
Yep 👍
How did he get in the country, when it's supposed to be closed... ?
@1:20 Wtf!! Told you he's alien 👽
rideyalife a good and strong layback is essential.....
🏄♂️
Putting music in the backround would be good
Could not tell when K was on...hmm..
Is that a hard board?
So Good
Some unexpected situations may require a good strong layback
How do these people get to bali? I thought there was no international travelers allowed?
Probably on a work visa
So the airports are now open & flowin"?!
There's some flights but it's not exactly flowin', Kelly probably entered on a work visa.
@@SurfersofBali Ah yes, the old "work visa", Kelly probably picked that up that trick livin' in Cali!! He wins again!! Ha!
How he can enter in indonesia ? The country is lock. He have a kitas kitap ?
Yep, likely got himself a KITAS
Did he have to be tested before he got there ?
Of course, PCR test is mandatory
Yep, I'd say so.
Thanks beautiful conditions
Bali its not closed ? Strange
No tourist visa's, but allowed in on a business visa
wow
1 min 26 seconds?
We all Quarantined In a Shack off of Pelengkenkung
At 1:21 he does magic tricks.
Young fulla at 5:45 has his wheelie-stall sorted.
Happy to see you in Bali, Kelly 💙💦🌊

Why can Kelly visit Bali during the pandemic ?
Probably entered on a work visa.
additional comment. If i won the lottery tomorrow and they gave me a choice to live in Hawaii or Bali. Bali would be my choice
Yup, no need to come to Hawaii. Other than the seasonal waves you'll be disappointed with everything else, here
You're stupid. Bali is a shithole, I've been there 10 years. Hawaii is a MILLION times nicer. Cleaner, quieter, and sane.
Wait. We can go to Bali now??? Life is unfair.
Kelly probably entered on a work visa
@@SurfersofBali cool thanks. Does a digital nomad kind of occupation work for a visa?
I don't think so, I think the government is planning on a special visa for digital nomads, but it's just talk at the moment.
👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽
🤙🤙👍
sneaky Kelly
Wait...I know he’s the goat, but how’s he allowed to travel to Bali as an American when the rest of us can’t?
Probably entered on a work visa
#dagoat
Ask him "how's lowers" after he gets out from a session in Bali.
after watching ALOT of your channel, it feels like ulu's is best surfed by flying down the line gracefully and pulling into the barrel section. not top to bottom WSL hacks that kill all your speed.
FIRST
While families being separated but most importantly majority of the island being unemployed due to the lock-down resulting in huge increase of mental issues, domestic violence, drug abuse and suicides a rich dude comes for surf trip. Interesting.
I'm guessing the folks who own the hotel or rental he stayed at were glad to have him, same with any shops or restaurants he spent money at
@@_JellyDonut_ Sure they were but that is not what I was trying to open a discussion about. The fact is that the island is being devastated. So many families are being separated not even knowing when they will see each other. I hope you understand that Indo/ Bali is in lockdown.
@@g5gs334 I'm sympathetic to this issue but this doesn't seem like the best place for such a discussion. Plus you're making it sound as though Kelly (a "rich dude") is someone at fault or responsible for the situation. People watch this channel to enjoy surfing, not to be lectured
@@_JellyDonut_
We are all responsible. You too. If you were devastated and affected like people here you would respect such a discussion on any available channel. I am big Kelly fan since I was a kid. Kelly is a rich dude with the highest connections so let's knot question this fact. It sounds the way it is. He would know his surf trip will hurt many people but I hope he also knew it would open up a discussion and might help Bali to open up faster..
@@g5gs334 Be honest, you were trying to hate on him. Why would his trip "hurt many people"? For all you know he's doing what he can to support the local community and just doesn't want to virtue signal and announce it to everyone. Also how are we all responsible? None of us caused this and we're all doing what we can to get by. If anyone should be blamed it's the CCP, they unleashed this (completely avoidable situation) on the world. You can spin it like you were trying to be uplifting but it's clear you were trying to be divisive, which is why you mentioned the irrelevant fact that he has money.
1:20 WTF?
kelly slater is natural FOOT - Not GOOFY - and he is still BALDY
0:57 👍
bluff, & Bali is closed.
How could? While all international access still closed 😂
