This interview may have saved my life. HUGE swell came in last year, I went out, dropped in on a steep face, ate it, got the wind knocked out of me, then got sucked up into the curl, got slammed deep under water. Out of breath and disoriented from hitting the water so hard and getting churned, I had no idea which way was up or down and started to panic. Then remembered what Kelly said in this interview and grabbed my leash to see which way was up, and pulled on it as fast as I could to get to the surface. If I didn’t pull on that leash, highly likely I would’ve drowned. Felt like a kook later but heard a friend had a near drowning experience as well that weekend. Had a newfound appreciation for life after that! Great interview; Slaters a legend
@@suntsu3941 most surfers that go there pray for Saint Nazare. Like a religion to give motivation when you are on the sea , miracles. Its a coast so its very very dangerous. Wave and baam rocks. Most say if you dont respect her you going to die
Slater: You still keep your sense of up and down. You lose it a bit, but you still sense up and down. Rogan: So do you lose your sense of up and down? Slater: Yeah
yeah mentally you have totally lost your positioning but there are still visual and physical queues from your body that tell you if you are upside down. so yes you lose that sense a bit but in the bigger picture you can still correct yourself and therefore dont totally lose your senses
No go listen to it again. Kelly said you still have your sense of up and down while the wave is crashing and you’re about to get smashed on the reef. Joe then asked if you can lose your sense of up and down after you have been smashed, which you can.
I've never heard of Kelly Slater and while watching this I thought to myself that he's extremely well spoken and humble. Then I did a little search on him and found out he's a living legend in the surf community. I do feel that sport being so dangerous and extreme does bring a lot of humility in the people that practice it.
He holds nearly every significant record in the sport, with 11 world titles, 55 event victories, and the record for being both the youngest and oldest men's world champion. Slater claimed his first world title as a 20-year-old in 1992, and won his last at 39 in 2011 The fact that he didn't compete for a few of those years is even more impressive.
@@DavidFosdick correct, Kelly is far superior and dominant in his sport as well as the greatest athlete of all time in all of sport. Your claims are not a close comparison.
The AN-2, Beaver, and many Alaskan bush planes can fly controllably between 20-30kts, so they can't quite go 20mph, but 23mph is possible. They normally land on sand bars in the middle of rivers in alaska, and only need 100 feet or so for a safe take off.
I've tried it and love it. I just love the way Joe says it more!! Yoooga dude. After 30 years of surfing though, I've never done it on DMT but I'm keen to try it micro dosing mushrooms as I think it would reduce hesitation and improve my timing. Have to give it a go!
Biggest wave I surfed was in NZ and it was 7ft. It closed out on me and I felt like I was falling off a building. I’m not a great surfer, 7ft was scary and your right. 50ft is unimaginable.
@@cameronhall6733 I've surfed 15ft waves and I understand completely. From the shore when it's like 8ft you think its small and fun but as soon as you start paddling out you start shitting yourself. Looking over waves that are 7ft is like looking over a building. Think of it like on a tall person's shoulders
One time I was in punta Cana drunk out my mind and two waves hit each other/ combined and it was probably around 15-20FT high and it took me from so far out right to the beach flat lined got winded
@@cameronhall6733 biggest wave ive surf was about 8-9ft in NZ, theyre very fun waves to catch and have so much power behind them but it sucks when you wipeout on them. The beach that i usually surf usually is like 3-6ft waves but from the lulls ive experienced there are crazy too, would go dead flat and then youd have 9footers in your face.
Surfed with Kelly (there was about 10 guys out, early morning) on the North Shore, at Pipeline, in 1995 after he won his first World Title. Super cool dude. He was friendly and talked story with most of the guys in the line-up, in between sets. It's easy to tell that Rogan doesn't really understand surfing, but that's fine because he's always open to learning.
Kelly is really good at explaining the sport to Joe here. Oh by the way THATS FUCKIN AWESOME surfing with Kelly bro, I’ve been down to Sebastian Inlet FL and he was just checking it as I was about to paddle out with my brother!
I lived near this one dude not far from laguana beach who liked to surf. His name was Bohdi. Bad dude. He liked robbing banks and jumping out of airplanes.
I grew up a few minutes drive from the Wedge. It's very difficult to explain the power of large heavy waves to someone who has little or no experience in that environment, but as strange as it might sound after getting a serious pounding I have never felt so alive. You have to completely let go of any sense of control and trust your instincts. It's very humbling.
I was a boogie boarder as a kid in Port Elizabeth Africa in the 1980's and the remnants of a very big storm went through the Transkei and down the coast clipping PE . If you look at a picture of Humewood beach there is an old slipway with six concrete blocks going deeper. The waves were hitting the top of the concrete blocks and the spray went another ten foot above that. From sea to top of the block depending on tide is anything from 15ft to 20ft. I got dumped so badly I lost a flipper and my boogie board , that was not the hard part , the hard part was the other four waves in the set equally as big
Kelly: “so my mate drowned and it was super heavy on my emotions” Joe: “yeah how crazy are ear infections! when you get an ear infection and you can’t walk properly and slipping all over the place lol!” Kelly: “yeah, then another one of my mates drowned pretty bad” Joe: “wow, wow, shwwwow you must see a lot of crazy stuff IN the water, amazing amounts of fish!”
Some key points of his diet; Kombucha Fasting Almond milk and fresh fruit smoothies Traceable Organic food. There are more videos about his health habits for those interested, he is likely one of the healthiest 40+ year olds on the planet.

He is of middle Eastern decent, the sun doesn't fry his skin, I have surfed for over 40 years, iam sitting at the dermatologist now,skin cancer on my lip, I got it early, I have had cancer removed from my shoulder,back and hands.
If you ever met Kelly Slater in person, he is the coolest most humble nice guy you could ever meet. I only met him a couple time's in cocoa beach but he is really cool. One time my friend, a short, overweight girl was down at the pub, a small bar in cocoa beach and kelly just happen to be sitting next to her. She started talking to him about some small band she likes that was going to be there they following week and when it came time, he took off from his busy schedule and came there and watched the band with her. She was really surprised and her smile war ear to ear when she told me about it. I have nothing but respect for that guy. A real gentle man. I think about her every time I see him. He is VERY loved in his home town.
I use to cut out the athletes in sports illustrated mags when I was a kid and put them on my wall. First time I heard of Kelly and he looks the exact same. This was like at least 14-15 years ago 😂
It was DK walsh that saved Greg Long. He drove his ski in between waves and heroically jumped off and ditched his ski and bear hugged Greg's body. Others helped in the rescue but it was DK's act of bravery that made the difference.
Some years ago when he was on Baywatch I saw Slater surf Windansea in one of our Expression Session contests for Windansea surf club. He nailed every turn as expected. He came in from his heat and Pamela Anderson was waiting on the beach for him. He seemed like the happiest guy on the planet.
The fact that Mark Foo, an Hawaiian known for his ability in seriously big waves, died surfing Mavericks should tell anyone who has never paddled out just how dangerous the ocean can be. Personally, going over the falls backwards must rate as one of the single worst experiences of my life - you basically get waterboarded, particularly if a second set holds you down - but the addition is so strong that few surfers let bad wipeouts deter them. Far more likely to be attacked by a shark if you are surfing the east coast of Australia in 2020 but that's a whole other discussion.
@@matthewhawker2237 True enough - although anyone surfing in SA must know the risks. WA also seems to have a reputation for big sharks, but I've never been there so I'll leave it to the locals.
Oh man! I can relate. Lived in Santa Barbara and surfed big waves in the winter. 10-12 feet sometimes. 2xs sucked over the falls backwards! Super scary. Thought I would die. Almost drowned at jalama. 25 ft. But never got super hurt. God was protecting 🙏 me. Thank you Jesus!
Kelly Slater , from one surfer (nube) to another (professional). An iCon in the world surfing scene and a hero in the South African surfing circles. Unassuming, respectful and just a super nice person.
What an educated guy. So interesting to hear him discuss oceanography. One time I feel over a big swell at Crystal Cove Newport Beach. Fell on my head, backed out, woke up in the water and breathed in water. Woke up grunting and had to be pulled out of the water. Scariest moment of my life. Had to go to the hospital. Be safe in the ocean guys!!
“What an ‘educated’ guy?” Are you serious?? 😂😂 When the guy talks about anything other than surfing, he sounds like the most UNEDUCATED and dense guy I’ve ever heard! It’s one thing to recognize the guy’s amazing competitive surfing career, but then to make such a ridiculous claim that he’s so “educated” is laughable. It’s also factually false. He’s not educated beyond high school.
I'm Canadian, so when people ask me what surfing is like I describe it like this: It's like snowboarding; if you started out laying down, with no bindings, in the middle of an avalanche, with random bears just chilling in the snow around you.
google Google actually, an excessive amount of sun exposure accelerates aging and wrinkles. It takes a lot of skin care, hydration, and consistent use of sunblock to prevent it. Just look at old surfers and fishermen. Kelly is definitely an exception.
@google Google you are clueless, you should not be calling anyone a dumb ass. Salt water, sun and wind literally erode planet earth and change entire landscapes..... great for the skin though, super exfoliating 👌.
@@JohnnyShrapnel saltwater is good for skin but when mixed with the sun, I’m surprised this dude isn’t looking like a handbag. The ocean acts as a mirror and reflects/concentrates a lot of that solar energy into whatever is on the water
Secondary drowning is a term people use to describe another drowning complication. It happens if water gets into the lungs. There, it can irritate the lungs' lining and fluid can build up, causing a condition called pulmonary edema. The signs of secondary drowning (dry drowning) are: lethargy or extreme fatigue. difficulty breathing. irritability or mood swings. chest pain. shortness of breath. persistent cough. fever. Hope that helps.
Fuck the ocean...too many un foreseable dangers..I respect it too much to get into ocean hobbies..I'll stick to wake surfing K Slate is a savage. Great podcast...one of the few where Joe kinda asks good questions and shuts up
I got to meet Kelly on the shores of Hawaii back in 2011. Dude is so nice and welcoming to approach. He was constantly hassled by a lot of tourists and still never got upset.
This is a great interview, I think all surfers should take a basic physics course on ‘waves’. Understanding when a break is shallow enough for a wave to break (depending on the bathymetry of the break), knowing when the power of a wave is at its greatest when it’s breaking (the transfer of energy from potential to kinetic energy) and whether things like reflection will happen at a certain break will save your life. Also, love the reminder to have your arms up protecting your head as you wipe out on a wave. You should always protect your head no matter how well you know the break! Surfing is super safe with the right knowledge!
Surfers and body boarders wouldn't need a basic physics course on waves cause we know naturally. After years and years of growing up in Hawaii surfing you can just look at the waves breaking and should know what your getting yourself into, how heavy it is, how strong the currents is pulling etc..
Exactly. If I'm listening to a big wave surfer, I want to hear what its like to surf a big wave, or if a guy has a run-in with a grizzly bear, I want to hear about the run-in. Not Joe Rogan interrupting with these pointless sidebar comments. Get a clue, Joe. People aren't tuning in to listen to you.
25 years ago I got speared in the ear by the board and split my ear in half, 15 stitches and a plastic surgeon to put it back together. Worst thing was it happened in the morning and I didn't get it fixed until later that night because I had to travel to 3 different hospitals because no doctors wanted to attempt it.
Tommy Carroll, as an Australian who grew up around Bondi I remember when Tom Carroll was World Champion 🏆 He would often surf Bondi and Tamarama. He is one of the best 🏄🏼
At 2:20 (why nobody listens to me?) I been preaching this for years! OK Kelly just said "cover your head". That's good. Here's my advice for years, roll into a ball. Like a rolly polly bug. Arms covering your head, knees tucked into your chest. Stay in a ball until the violence subsides. Then you swim to surface.
Great advice. If it's not way shallow you can also hold your nose cover your mouth with one hand, then hold that in place by the wrist with your other hand to keep your air from being pummeled out of you. Anything that helps you from flailing around will give you more time to wait out the turbulence. Coming up cover your head to prevent colliding with your board, do a quick360 scan at the surface in case another wave is breaking on you. Practice before you need it so it becomes automatic against the tendency to panic.
Awesome. Kelly Slater. Big name growing up in Santa Cruz CA. Always went out to watch these guys Surf when I was young. Get it boys! Great interview. Thankyou!
2:27 Kelly "for the most part, you can tell up and down" 2:35 Kelly "but for the most part, you can tell what is up ane down" 3:00 Joe "and when the waves come crashing down on you, do you lose your sense of up and down?"
I'm both a surfer and a scuba diver, so I'd like to explain what happens when you break your eardrum. When you're diving or surfing and break your eardrum, it can be lethal. Here's why. Your inner ear is totally responsible for your BALANCE. When your eardrum is intact, it's warm and dry inside. But when you break ("perforate") the thin eardrum barrier, cold seawater immediately floods your ear canal, which makes your normal balance go haywire. In diving, we call it, "the twirly bends," but the result is exactly the same. You can actually be swimming for the BOTTOM, when you think you're swimming UP. When you're diving and this happens, just follow your bubbles, which will show you the way. If you're surfing, either follow your leash, or simply look up, find the sun, and swim for your life. Hope this helps.
Have huge respect and admiration for you Mr Slater! Have watched you surf since you were little. I remember my first surf trip to Costa Rica in 1987 and you were there I think with Quiet Flight surf team and knew you were something special. I'm from Titusville. I heard an interesting reason recently why some surfers are drawn to ride death defying big waves. I have always assumed most of you are adrenaline junkies but what I heard recently from a well respected spiritual teacher is what keeps surfers and other death defying thrill seekers chasing these huge waves around the globe is, without realizing it, maybe some of you do, is because you must have laser sharp focus while riding giant waves so must be totally awake and in the present moment and cannot for a split second lose that focus on the present moment because that is such an amazing feeling that lots of people spend their whole lives trying to truly be in the present moment and if you lose that focus for a split second could mean death. Some people meditate for years before finally are able to step out of their minds into the present moment. Makes sense to me. And when you mentioned Cortes Bank I had a poster on my bedroom wall for years, wish I still had it, of Mike 'Snips' Parsons riding a giant wave there.
"Like a hood ornament on a Freight Train!" I've heard that Kelly is one of the most down to earth and humble GOAT's ever! Actually it's his interviews that give me that impression mostly but I do have a good friend that knows him a little!
When I was a kid whether I was skiing skateboarding or mountain biking wearing a helmet is what helped me break past my comfort zone and progress. I guess you could call it a safety blanket but my parents made me do it, it kept my brain safer, and it helped me go harder and learn faster. Getting used to the extra head weight helped when I joined the military, alot of guys seemed to struggle wearing a kevlar helmet for long periods of time. Long story short... Wear a helmet kids you don't want c.t.e.
I have 3 MASSIVE surf experiences - nose dive in Malibu, broken board in Carpinteria, and 2 ft. Monster swell in Ventura. Catching that wave was epic! 😂
Ive clawed at the sand thinking it was up, I was so convinced I thought something was above me blocking my way to the surface, try this with all the wind knocked out of you! I never surfed cyclone swell again. Your brain gets well confused after you've been near knocked out, all I could hear was ringing, no air in my lungs and up was down. Weirdly I knew I was confused and against my instinct I swam the other way which I was totally convinced was down, air never tasted so good! This wave was tiny compared to what these guys surf, huge respect for their enlarged balls.
@SUB to me to avoid stupid people FK OFF with your Veganism and go and preach to someone who wants to listen. You'll be on to your next fad when the wind changes direction.
@7:05 Kelly incorrect about Cortes Bank, saying it "never hit the surface," when in reality ALL 4 northern channel islands were connected during the ice age, back when SEA LEVELS were 390+ feet lower than today! Cortes Bank was a 385ft+ lowland west of the San Clemente Island mountain ranges 35 miles away! Now, after the rise in ocean depths Cortes Bank only reaches upwards of 6 feet below sea level! Therefore, Cortes Bank was possibly part of the low foothills of the San Clemente Mountain range, along with Tanner Bank which is around 80ft underwater. South of which is the San Clemente Basin, around 6,069 feet DEEP! Subtract 393 from 6,069 = around 5,675 feet was the ocean depth during the ICE AGE! Cortes and Tanner Bank were BOTH above the surface! They would have been like five fingers of teardrop shaped islands BELOW (south of) Santa Rosae (the upper four channel islands connected as one extended mountain range [basically due west of the Santa Monica Mountains.]) It would appear that San Nicolas, Santa Barbara Island (Devil's Peak formerly 2,822 ft elevation), Catalina (Mount Orizaba formerly 2,516ft elevation), Cortes + Tanner Bank and San Clemente Island (Vista Point formerly 2,358ft elevation) were all still their own separate land masses. (Lots of deep water west of San Clemente Island) Upon further investigation and confirmation of ocean depths less than 393 feet below sea level, it would appear Cortes and Tanner Bank were connected as their own individual island just south of San Nicolas! You can extract your Ancient ocean shorelines from THAT! 💥💥👏👏💯💯☠☠ I know Kelly loves this sort of stuff. Hopefully he reads it. 🙏🙏 Great clip! 👍👍
On 2 November 1985 the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) struck the Cortes Bank reef about one mile east of Bishop Rock, putting a 60-foot (18 m) gash in her outer hull on the port side, ripped off her port keel, and severely deformed her outboard port propeller blades. She continued operations, then went into dry dock in San Francisco at the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard for repairs. Thanks wiki
2011 Quicksilver Pro Long Beach, NY - I missed my opportunity to meet Kelly Slater. It was the day before the contest and it was just the two of us in the water. I was further out on my longboard but my struggles from both (93’,01’) World Trade Center attacks kept me from paddling over to say hey bro, you’re a legend and I have the deepest respect for you as a surfer and human being. And I would have said dude, I think you’re the best of the best in our lifetime. But, I lost that opportunity. I lost it. Life lesson learned: When opportunity knocks, answer. Your troubles will come and go. Experience knowledge, wisdom. I do have “To meet Kelly Slater” up on our vision board. Close out a karma contract in some way. It’s up to the universe. Peace on earth ❤️
I popped my ear drum when I was swimming around in a 13ft deep pool. I made my way to the bottom of 13ft for the 2nd time and felt a sharp pain in my right ear. Once I felt that I started tasting the pool water, even though my mouth was never open. The water was pouring in from my popped ear drum. At the same time I got heavenly disoriented. I couldn’t tell which way was up and down. I had to let some air out just to see which way to swim. (Swimming disorientated is really difficult lol) some how I didn’t drown and was able to drive myself to the hospital. I had to wear an ear plug for months until it was healed.
This interview may have saved my life.

omg hahahahaha
46 and he looks like he's in his late 20's. It would appear that surfing is the fountain of youth.
odinsmeadhorn he also eats cleaner than anyone on the planet, and can afford to.
+FreedomFighter Truth eating right is nearly impossible on regular working class wages. Also not smoking probably helps keep skin looking nice.
surfing actually makes you look way older because of the sun on your skin
Some key points of his diet;
Kombucha
Fasting
Almond milk and fresh fruit smoothies
Traceable Organic food.
There are more videos about his health habits for those interested, he is likely one of the healthiest 40+ year olds on the planet.
He is of middle Eastern decent, the sun doesn't fry his skin, I have surfed for over 40 years, iam sitting at the dermatologist now,skin cancer on my lip, I got it early, I have had cancer removed from my shoulder,back and hands.

If you ever met Kelly Slater in person, he is the coolest most humble nice guy you could ever meet. I only met him a couple time's in cocoa beach but he is really cool. One time my friend, a short, overweight girl was down at the pub, a small bar in cocoa beach and kelly just happen to be sitting next to her. She started talking to him about some small band she likes that was going to be there they following week and when it came time, he took off from his busy schedule and came there and watched the band with her. She was really surprised and her smile war ear to ear when she told me about it. I have nothing but respect for that guy. A real gentle man. I think about her every time I see him. He is VERY loved in his home town.
Kelly hasn't aged a minute. This guy has been a role model of mine since the 90s
I use to cut out the athletes in sports illustrated mags when I was a kid and put them on my wall. First time I heard of Kelly and he looks the exact same. This was like at least 14-15 years ago 😂

The GOAT! A real one in a million human being. Smart, too! Some may disagree, but nobody has done more for modern surfing that Slater.

Not only is Kelly the absolute GOAT, but he charges the heaviest pits in the world. He’s like a cat - makes the vast majority of drops. Legend. 🤙🌊👏
Some local at Cocoa Beach called him an "alien" he's that special.
“Alien” Freak of Nature” yeah thats him,,
It was DK walsh that saved Greg Long. He drove his ski in between waves and heroically jumped off and ditched his ski and bear hugged Greg's body. Others helped in the rescue but it was DK's act of bravery that made the difference.
Wiping out is like being in a laundry machine even in smaller waves.
I think Kelly would laugh at my story of being slammed against the bottom by a gnarly 2 footer.
Best analogy ever. Wipe outside suck. I've probably swallowed gallons of seawater over the years. I dont surf or body board anymore. Too dangerous.
Exactly how I described it

Some years ago when he was on Baywatch I saw Slater surf Windansea in one of our Expression Session contests for Windansea surf club. He nailed every turn as expected. He came in from his heat and Pamela Anderson was waiting on the beach for him. He seemed like the happiest guy on the planet.
The fact that Mark Foo, an Hawaiian known for his ability in seriously big waves, died surfing Mavericks should tell anyone who has never paddled out just how dangerous the ocean can be. Personally, going over the falls backwards must rate as one of the single worst experiences of my life - you basically get waterboarded, particularly if a second set holds you down - but the addition is so strong that few surfers let bad wipeouts deter them. Far more likely to be attacked by a shark if you are surfing the east coast of Australia in 2020 but that's a whole other discussion.
Or the south and western coasts
@@matthewhawker2237 True enough - although anyone surfing in SA must know the risks. WA also seems to have a reputation for big sharks, but I've never been there so I'll leave it to the locals.
Mavericks is a heavier water and has a higher danger rep
Oh man! I can relate. Lived in Santa Barbara and surfed big waves in the winter. 10-12 feet sometimes. 2xs sucked over the falls backwards! Super scary. Thought I would die. Almost drowned at jalama. 25 ft. But never got super hurt. God was protecting 🙏 me. Thank you Jesus!

Kelly Slater , from one surfer (nube) to another (professional). An iCon in the world surfing scene and a hero in the South African surfing circles. Unassuming, respectful and just a super nice person.
This is by far the best slater interview I have ever seen!
In most sports there is debate over the GOAT, in surfing there is no comparison to this man.

Yeah Kelly is Legend.. he also has made the worlds best "rideable" wave machine.. fucking brilliant
Kelly met his match with Andy Irons. Unfortunate, he didn’t live long enough to accomplish longevity like Slater did...

I wouldn't argue with anyone who claimed Slater the most dominate athlete of all time.
What an educated guy. So interesting to hear him discuss oceanography.
One time I feel over a big swell at Crystal Cove Newport Beach. Fell on my head, backed out, woke up in the water and breathed in water. Woke up grunting and had to be pulled out of the water. Scariest moment of my life. Had to go to the hospital. Be safe in the ocean guys!!
“What an ‘educated’ guy?” Are you serious?? 😂😂 When the guy talks about anything other than surfing, he sounds like the most UNEDUCATED and dense guy I’ve ever heard! It’s one thing to recognize the guy’s amazing competitive surfing career, but then to make such a ridiculous claim that he’s so “educated” is laughable. It’s also factually false. He’s not educated beyond high school.
sooooo.don't go surfing...got it.
no brah, it's fun. maybe don't tackle 50 footers
surfing 2-3 ft waves is nothing like this dude. Easy and safe
All the story’s are about the guys that charge 15ft + waves. Average joe doesn’t surf bigger than 5-6ft
tripp and incredibly fun!!!!
tripp it’s like comparing regular snowboarding to Olympic half piping lmao u can’t just expect anyone to do it
I'm Canadian, so when people ask me what surfing is like I describe it like this: It's like snowboarding; if you started out laying down, with no bindings, in the middle of an avalanche, with random bears just chilling in the snow around you.
My friends in alaska called me Fukabear , so your description strikes me hilario.
😂
Wot?
Kelly’s skin is pretty good for decades of being on the water
google Google actually, an excessive amount of sun exposure accelerates aging and wrinkles. It takes a lot of skin care, hydration, and consistent use of sunblock to prevent it. Just look at old surfers and fishermen. Kelly is definitely an exception.
Kelly is a byzantine. He was born for the water
@google Google you are clueless, you should not be calling anyone a dumb ass. Salt water, sun and wind literally erode planet earth and change entire landscapes..... great for the skin though, super exfoliating 👌.
@@JohnnyShrapnel saltwater is good for skin but when mixed with the sun, I’m surprised this dude isn’t looking like a handbag. The ocean acts as a mirror and reflects/concentrates a lot of that solar energy into whatever is on the water
@@candidlyopinionated19 not true. Not for people of color. Only you guys
Secondary drowning is a term people use to describe another drowning complication.
It happens if water gets into the lungs. There, it can irritate the lungs' lining and fluid can build up, causing a condition called pulmonary edema.
The signs of secondary drowning (dry drowning) are:
lethargy or extreme fatigue.
difficulty breathing.
irritability or mood swings.
chest pain.
shortness of breath.
persistent cough.
fever.
Hope that helps.
Sounds almost as bad as typical nasty pharmasuicidical side effects.

This guy’s one of the most straight-shootin, level-headed, standup guys I’ve ever seen on Rogan. What a solid cat. ✌️
AJ Constantine maybe you could throw in another cliche saying?
This is a great interview, I think all surfers should take a basic physics course on ‘waves’. Understanding when a break is shallow enough for a wave to break (depending on the bathymetry of the break), knowing when the power of a wave is at its greatest when it’s breaking (the transfer of energy from potential to kinetic energy) and whether things like reflection will happen at a certain break will save your life. Also, love the reminder to have your arms up protecting your head as you wipe out on a wave. You should always protect your head no matter how well you know the break! Surfing is super safe with the right knowledge!
Surfers and body boarders wouldn't need a basic physics course on waves cause we know naturally. After years and years of growing up in Hawaii surfing you can just look at the waves breaking and should know what your getting yourself into, how heavy it is, how strong the currents is pulling etc..
@@chasemanatad3051 exactly it’s just learning as you go, start small and make you’re way up to bigger waves

At 2:20 (why nobody listens to me?) I been preaching this for years! OK Kelly just said "cover your head". That's good. Here's my advice for years, roll into a ball. Like a rolly polly bug. Arms covering your head, knees tucked into your chest. Stay in a ball until the violence subsides. Then you swim to surface.
Great advice. If it's not way shallow you can also hold your nose cover your mouth with one hand, then hold that in place by the wrist with your other hand to keep your air from being pummeled out of you. Anything that helps you from flailing around will give you more time to wait out the turbulence. Coming up cover your head to prevent colliding with your board, do a quick360 scan at the surface in case another wave is breaking on you. Practice before you need it so it becomes automatic against the tendency to panic.
Awesome. Kelly Slater. Big name growing up in Santa Cruz CA.
Always went out to watch these guys Surf when I was young. Get it boys! Great interview. Thankyou!

I'm both a surfer and a scuba diver, so I'd like to explain what happens when you break your eardrum. When you're diving or surfing and break your eardrum, it can be lethal. Here's why.
Your inner ear is totally responsible for your BALANCE. When your eardrum is intact, it's warm and dry inside. But when you break ("perforate") the thin eardrum barrier, cold seawater immediately floods your ear canal, which makes your normal balance go haywire. In diving, we call it, "the twirly bends," but the result is exactly the same. You can actually be swimming for the BOTTOM, when you think you're swimming UP. When you're diving and this happens, just follow your bubbles, which will show you the way. If you're surfing, either follow your leash, or simply look up, find the sun, and swim for your life. Hope this helps.
slater is pure gold as a man, and a world treasure of surfing ! the undisputed goat KS11
Joe “It’s weird for sparring too” Rogan
Haha
Have huge respect and admiration for you Mr Slater! Have watched you surf since you were little. I remember my first surf trip to Costa Rica in 1987 and you were there I think with Quiet Flight surf team and knew you were something special. I'm from Titusville. I heard an interesting reason recently why some surfers are drawn to ride death defying big waves. I have always assumed most of you are adrenaline junkies but what I heard recently from a well respected spiritual teacher is what keeps surfers and other death defying thrill seekers chasing these huge waves around the globe is, without realizing it, maybe some of you do, is because you must have laser sharp focus while riding giant waves so must be totally awake and in the present moment and cannot for a split second lose that focus on the present moment because that is such an amazing feeling that lots of people spend their whole lives trying to truly be in the present moment and if you lose that focus for a split second could mean death. Some people meditate for years before finally are able to step out of their minds into the present moment. Makes sense to me.
And when you mentioned Cortes Bank I had a poster on my bedroom wall for years, wish I still had it, of Mike 'Snips' Parsons riding a giant wave there.
i knew u were from brevard when u said quiet flight
"Like a hood ornament on a Freight Train!" I've heard that Kelly is one of the most down to earth and humble GOAT's ever! Actually it's his interviews that give me that impression mostly but I do have a good friend that knows him a little!
When I was a kid whether I was skiing skateboarding or mountain biking wearing a helmet is what helped me break past my comfort zone and progress. I guess you could call it a safety blanket but my parents made me do it, it kept my brain safer, and it helped me go harder and learn faster. Getting used to the extra head weight helped when I joined the military, alot of guys seemed to struggle wearing a kevlar helmet for long periods of time. Long story short... Wear a helmet kids you don't want c.t.e.
I have 3 MASSIVE surf experiences - nose dive in Malibu, broken board in Carpinteria, and 2 ft. Monster swell in Ventura. Catching that wave was epic! 😂
Ive clawed at the sand thinking it was up, I was so convinced I thought something was above me blocking my way to the surface, try this with all the wind knocked out of you! I never surfed cyclone swell again. Your brain gets well confused after you've been near knocked out, all I could hear was ringing, no air in my lungs and up was down. Weirdly I knew I was confused and against my instinct I swam the other way which I was totally convinced was down, air never tasted so good! This wave was tiny compared to what these guys surf, huge respect for their enlarged balls.
Kelly is gorgeous, hes 46 here and looks so fresh

@@TreyyDaMenaceFan what bitch
@7:05 Kelly incorrect about Cortes Bank, saying it "never hit the surface," when in reality ALL 4 northern channel islands were connected during the ice age, back when SEA LEVELS were 390+ feet lower than today! Cortes Bank was a 385ft+ lowland west of the San Clemente Island mountain ranges 35 miles away! Now, after the rise in ocean depths Cortes Bank only reaches upwards of 6 feet below sea level! Therefore, Cortes Bank was possibly part of the low foothills of the San Clemente Mountain range, along with Tanner Bank which is around 80ft underwater. South of which is the San Clemente Basin, around 6,069 feet DEEP! Subtract 393 from 6,069 = around 5,675 feet was the ocean depth during the ICE AGE! Cortes and Tanner Bank were BOTH above the surface! They would have been like five fingers of teardrop shaped islands BELOW (south of) Santa Rosae (the upper four channel islands connected as one extended mountain range [basically due west of the Santa Monica Mountains.]) It would appear that San Nicolas, Santa Barbara Island (Devil's Peak formerly 2,822 ft elevation), Catalina (Mount Orizaba formerly 2,516ft elevation), Cortes + Tanner Bank and San Clemente Island (Vista Point formerly 2,358ft elevation) were all still their own separate land masses. (Lots of deep water west of San Clemente Island) Upon further investigation and confirmation of ocean depths less than 393 feet below sea level, it would appear Cortes and Tanner Bank were connected as their own individual island just south of San Nicolas! You can extract your Ancient ocean shorelines from THAT! 💥💥👏👏💯💯☠☠ I know Kelly loves this sort of stuff. Hopefully he reads it. 🙏🙏 Great clip! 👍👍
On 2 November 1985 the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) struck the Cortes Bank reef about one mile east of Bishop Rock, putting a 60-foot (18 m) gash in her outer hull on the port side, ripped off her port keel, and severely deformed her outboard port propeller blades. She continued operations, then went into dry dock in San Francisco at the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard for repairs.

2011 Quicksilver Pro Long Beach, NY - I missed my opportunity to meet Kelly Slater. It was the day before the contest and it was just the two of us in the water. I was further out on my longboard but my struggles from both (93’,01’) World Trade Center attacks kept me from paddling over to say hey bro, you’re a legend and I have the deepest respect for you as a surfer and human being. And I would have said dude, I think you’re the best of the best in our lifetime. But, I lost that opportunity. I lost it. Life lesson learned: When opportunity knocks, answer. Your troubles will come and go. Experience knowledge, wisdom. I do have “To meet Kelly Slater” up on our vision board. Close out a karma contract in some way. It’s up to the universe. Peace on earth ❤️
I popped my ear drum when I was swimming around in a 13ft deep pool. I made my way to the bottom of 13ft for the 2nd time and felt a sharp pain in my right ear. Once I felt that I started tasting the pool water, even though my mouth was never open. The water was pouring in from my popped ear drum. At the same time I got heavenly disoriented. I couldn’t tell which way was up and down. I had to let some air out just to see which way to swim. (Swimming disorientated is really difficult lol) some how I didn’t drown and was able to drive myself to the hospital. I had to wear an ear plug for months until it was healed.
Sounds exactly like when I repopped my right ear drum. It was fun trying to get back up to the surface of the lake
