Therr will never be Another Kelly Slater. You guys need to enjoy anytime you can see Kelly surfing because it ain't going to be like that very much longer. We are seeing the end of a legacy and an era that will never be recreated.
Got to grow up surfing with Kelly in Sebastian Inlet and Cocoa Beach.
You are wrong
@@Fifty8day Prove it! Explain exactly how I am wrong and you are right.
@@ApriliaRacer14 I've only had the pleasure one time. I've grown up in the outer Banks of North Carolina. When I was right around 20/21 yrs old, Kelly was in town for some event And I was surfing this big south swell that had just pushed into Buxton out at the third groin and all of a sudden that SOB paddled out into the lineup with us. I'll never forget that. He surfed with us for about an hour and a half or two. There was probably about 30 of us maybe 40 of us in the water. He spoke to everybody he could. What are the most humble and nicest men I've ever met. The winds had just came around from the southeast to the southwest early morning and it was overhead to about 4 ft overhead and just peeling long rights. For those who don't know Buxton is a point break. So this would have been either 2006 or 2007 and I remember having a 3-2 on so I would say it was probably October.
I rock climb and surf. I told young climbers that I mentored that there would probably never be another 'John Bachar'. Then along came Alex Honnold !
Great young talent and hope doesn’t get taken out by just bad choices in life growing up. Life outside of the water is even more important.
i think his dad will keep him in line. shane dorian is still going hard.
Raw talent! He is so precise in his wave riding in all this footage. I think 15 years ago we heard the same thing about John John...right?
John John hasn’t seemed to do too bad for himself!
More like a massive amount of training
@@Ck-zk3we seriously. But when your dad’s an ex pro you end up knowing how much work it’s going to take to make it. But honestly I can’t think of anything more fun than surfing for a living. If I could go back, I’d give my 10 year old self a surfboard for Christmas and tell my mom to make my dad let me surf! I always boogie boarded in the summer but I didn’t start surfing till I stopped playing baseball in college at 22. My dad said it would ruin my arm…
Jackson is a super talented kid for sure.I have him as the best under 16 year old in the world right now.Perhaps best under 18 in the world.We will never see another Kelly Slater.Kelly at this age was already being touted as future world champion.Kelly had the most expectations of any surfer in history.And not only did he accomplish the expectations set on him.He crushed every expectation and exceeded them by a mile 11 world titles when 4 was the record before Kelly
Kelly didnt have to prove himself a second time in a surf off at tressles. Look at what its done to Carissa, robbed her of 2 titles even though she had the most world tour points...which in the old days means a title. All in the name of corporations.
The other difference is Kelly was a clear stand out back in the day, this kid isn't compared to what is around these days and the level of a lot of the pro's. I wish him good luck but claiming he is a future world champ is a big call, will take a lot to just break top 10 and he will have to develop a lot still.
he def is not the best under 18
bro better then you could do
Surfed with him at keramas within the past year. One of the most exciting surfers I've seen in person. Humble out there too!
What's nice is seeing style as well as function. He knows how to surf, not just look for hydro acrobatics. Looking forward to seeing him make the tour, and being able to obviously afford the best surf trips he should be pretty experienced.
The tour? I think his Dad and Godfather are grooming him for much bigger and better things than that lame ass CT.
Dam straight. Every generation, improving. But all past and future riders, have all great technical abilities
Lovely style smooth and a wicked roundhouse cut back
Yo llevo unos años siguiendo a Jackson y siempre he pensado que llegará a lo más alto y eso es un hecho viendo su surfing tan madurado desde que sabe ponerse de pie, es un máquina con estilazo , power y el surf New school más que dominado . Lo veo número 1 . Suerte chaval 🎉
He comes from good bloodlines. Rock on!
John John is already the next Kelly . Looking like that at 12 lol . This kid is unreal ! Excited to watch it unfold
Hes 14 right now, hes all hard pumps and power turns, big fans, 12 oclock snaps and airs..... imagine in 20 years when hes 34 and is flowing and surfing with the wisdom style and grace of a lifetime surfing this well. This kids amazing man, he throws a freaking fan when he stalls into the barrel. His surfing is aggressive AF and almost just a crisp!!! Absolutely a special talent
And the sound track in the video rocks!
Love it when you see a sport move on. he's flicking that board around like it's a skateboard in backyard pool, keeps one feeling rad just to watch, You can feeeeeel Martin Potter going yeah, that's what i started and was expressing in my day!! But also there's moments of classic surfing in there to as well which is great for the sole. Somebody has already written it earlier but if feels like a young Kelly at Cocoa beach with the world watching, waiting and knowing that he was feeding from Curren and would eclipse him probably sooner than later . looks like its all about to happen again ! May even cause a riot 😉
While us fresh water slalom skiers can put those walls up, it’s awesome how surfers can shred them down. Awesome footage of a very gifted ripper. “Stay low, go Fast 🤙!
Jackson’s Awesome ! Had the pleasure of watching him skate walua rd. Trail with me just walking with him wile he was killing it and me being worried about him hitting a rock around Dusk time and eating it !🥴😬 he killed it . Cheers buddy 🤙🏾👍🏾
I figured he was a great skater, he's just so comfortable on his board in the water.
smooth power, very impressive
He just looks 14.. he’s almost 18 now
BIG ISLAND BOY!! Starting to Charge da slabs with Us 👊🏾👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🔥🔥Credit to Dad for showing Him
The way!!
Most important thing: just have fun! 👍👍
epic moves dude i want this mans moves!
there is an evolution in everything
surfing finally gonna get it
Took a long time to see that he can go left but he did pull off a few backhand jewels. 😂
I was lliving in Hawaii and very good friends with a surfer that Sunny Garcia said was his favorite surfer growing up. My friend told me when Sunny was 15 in 1986, "Watch out. World Champion for sure.
Everyone knew Ke11y was gonna.
This kid is just as obvious..... if he wants it..
One thing is to free surf, another thing is to compete in the world tour, case in point, Mason Ho, he quick the tour because he cannot handle the losses. I agree , this kid has the talent and pedigree to become a World Champ, but does he have the will , determination and perseverance to earn it. Only time will tell.
There are at least 50 kids in Brazil surfing the same or better. There are at least 50 kids in Australia surfing the same or better. So guys, the competition will be hard
And All because of a Gosh darn video game. TY Kelly. 😂😂😂😂😂 And my goodness what a playground.......Dat Snap @ 4:00 legit.
Anybody going to mention that Jackson is 17? Sick footage but this is old.
Ripping, keep it up mate.
Slater's talent in small waves and his pop's balls in big water. This kid is going to be a monster.
Thinks on his feet.
Knowing what goes into building a Champion, I show this to my 5 year old, I tell him he'll never be a World Champ. No doubt many kids have the potential, but realizing that potential is determined by so many other factors, mostly beyond our reach, beyond our finances, beyond our living situation and beyond our social circles. Jackson has all the connections and all the opportunities, and the heritage, and certainly he's psyched and highly driven. Some might suggest I should believe in the full potential of my own Son and give him every reassurance, but I think it's best to be realistic.
Not true at all you think Medina and Italo grew up rich ? or John John? Mick Fanning family was broke growing up. All you need is to grow up near a good break and you can become world champ. That's the beauty of surfing all you need is a board the ocean is free
Your kid will grow up to do something big just to spite you for telling him he couldn’t
Can you name a good break with cheap home prices?@@michaellee4537
Realmente, o surfe dele é praticamente perfeito. Não se consegue imaginar outra manobra ou linha nas ondas do vídeo. Parece ter um biotipo "coringa" para ondas grandes e pequenas.
Wow Grom Is On His Way🤙🤙🤙WSL👍👍👍💙🏄💙
The Wreck 👍🏼
I'd like to see him on bigger waves. Maybe some Pipe shots, he seems to prefer acrobatics over barrel, just my 2 cents. Combined, then he is the next epic in my book.
Nice turns, nice punts junior😉
Good technique too😂😂😂
A day at Teahapoo would be very humbling for this kid!
Competing is a different environment.
the apple never falls far from the tree
Many times it falls an ROTS..... as is the case with my younger brother and clearly is NOT the case this time.
Surf *scene* 😌
WOW!!
Surfing is like guitar playing, shredding is just one metric, style is just as important as being technical.
Did you learn to copy steve via note for note on CZcams or do you channel Hendrix when you play?
Shredder yeeeeeeeew👍❤️
What's the catchy 2nd tune in this clip that's not listed in the credits. Anyone know?
He's got it; no need to sign off with popsicle air reverses. They're synonymous with Brazil and other substandard CT and QS locales, things we surfers shun. But HELL does he shred!!!!
Hope you also upload CZcams shorts
He is 14 who knows good luck young bloke no pressure
I was living in Hawaii and very good friends with a surfer that Sunny Garcia said was his favorite surfer growing up. My friend told me when Sunny was 15 in 1986, "Watch out. World Champion for sure.
Everyone knew Ke11y was gonna.
This kid is just as obvious..... if he wants it.
What a fantastic opportunity to be what he wants to be, the influence is priceless!
I love the fact that shane has shown his son the way, that kid shreds !!
He's living in the right place to make it happen. 👍🌴🥥
In many cases people become not so agile when they ’re fully grown
Doesn't hurt that Dad Shane is one of the best who ever lived. Champ within 5 years!
Yeah Kona boy!
When you're handed everything... yea you become good
I’m sure he’s good. 30 years from now an 11 championship or more will say if he’s that good.Go get ‘em kid
No pressure.
If Jackson follows the most important influence Kelly can offer, he will be set because the talent is there. Kelly has seen far too many talented surfers take the party road, many still rip the Brevard County coastline, but that ripping doesn't pay the bills. All due respect to the rippers I speak of. All the best Jackson, keep that rail to rail throwing the tailslide. That is the secret recipe.
ripping. real diverse he can do it all hey. i'm gonna hazard a guess that with dorian blood running through his veins he's gonna charge like a wounded bull too. can see so much of his dad's style in him
Wow!!!
The best part is you can tell this kid knows how to read a wave.
Hot gremmie surfing with a style most adults never master. Mature surfing, rail buring, like pop.
is this the
Ments?
very slater like for sure. a real talent
It would be a nice thought for this kid to be the future world champ but there are many kids that want that too so we never know what will happen.
Located where?
Il envoie fort le drole
Does little Dorian not so little anymore Dorian,ever fall omg he's killing I new u would be killing by now we new this quite sometime ago . you rip Jackson . I see how you are ke11y's GodsoN. way to go it's be a long time coming but a for sure future champion and that's for sure ,I see a champion 🏆 before our eyes coming soon. out in public soon in a v\contest near you. I'm sure we will all be looking and excited to see more of this kind of surfing 🌊.in due time my friend in due time. I'm sure a for sure title,for you that you will be not only winning heats but taking names and taking people down in no time Jackson. keep up the hard core ripping that is for future sure. infact I'm sure Jackson that u could take down the surfers that are on tour u wait until he done with school and u have even more time to surf and ur pro ,you're definitely gonna win a world title infact I'm not surprised I]on how hard u are ripping these days sh$% t bra mental .I'm sure dad is proud of you and you're accomplishments in surfing and on how hard u rip buddy!! damn Jackson save some waves for us , ur definitely gonna be the next champ soon enough . 🏆. 🌊...
As you said he’s got all the raw talent, and technique to be world champ. Only time will tell if he has the passion as well as mental fortitude to realize his true potential.
Are you sure your sure, surely sure. For Sure ? 🤷♂🤷♂
Hope he has good people to guide him.
His dad and uncle Kelly. He's in good hands.
😅
Said the same thing about Jordy Smith
My guy! Kelly is the shizit but don’t rain on this kids parade! He’s amazing! Think of him as slaters next incarnation. I cannot imagine that slater would be down with you discouraging this little man, no matter how mild. I’ve only ever heard slater encourage the next generation. Take a page my guy…take a page
Advice: Check out those who had your promise and never fulfilled it. They all have one thing in common: Drugs took them down. Avoid the potholes and the road is golden for you, kid.
The music ra ra viper the best new bands
Jackson Dorian has a connection with the ocean similar to Tom Curran, and his style reminds me more of Andy Irons. People bring up Kelly Slater way too often. Not to mention we've heard before this person or that person is the next Kelly Slater. That's like saying this person's going to be the next Michael Jordan for the next Tiger Woods best of luck to you young man, God bless you. Nothing but Love & Aloha
Uncle Bobby Droback
His stance and the fluidity of his carving do remind me of Andy Irons. But I think Andy's surfing was much more beautiful. This kid's upper body is too noisy. He's trying too hard.
@@tromboneface take a minute and realize Jackson's only 14. He still got a ways to go. I've been surfing for 42 years and surf professionally for 17 of those years and I'm still learning
@@BobbyJetty1502 yeah, I was just watching a video of Andy when he was still a teenager and his upper body was also tortured. This kid is great and he could be the next Andy Irons.
Nobody, nobody will replicate kellies success. Never ever. Theres 100.000 surfers now as good as eachother. Pro sirfing is going to have to expand into 2 separate divisions. Then the 2 winners of those will compepete for the title.
The kids are playing in the playground 😜
No surf no life
in fact for competing you need not only technique, also you need psychologic quolities and many other things
shane Dorian's Son!
Let's kids to be kids.
Godfather is Kelly and dad is Shane….. can’t loose
With a father like Shane and sponsored by Kelly, fried chicken couldn't come out. Super good credentials for a new crown
👍
Surfing good music 🙉
He's toying with those waves,most were slop but he made them look,anyone can look good on a perfect face,but to shread like that was impressive,the boards they ride now are like formula 1 cars,my first board back in 78 turned slower than the QE 2...
If kauai kids had a chance cause money travel .hard time. But if the kids could surf perfect wave like that. Remember ai bi kauai boys
BARBAROOOOOOOOOOO......
I hope he stays mellow and mature and doesn't become an arrogant prick.
Hey listen it's nice when your dad is Shane Dorian and has had you in the water your entire 12 years of life. He's got the genetics he's got the coaching and he lives exactly where he's supposed to be to become great. But again I'm going to have to say and repeat what somebody else said I don't think there's ever going to be another Kelly Slater the dominates the surfing tour as much as he did . I don't think you'll ever see anybody surf as long as Kelly did in the WSL. I think so many of these younger kids can make money and get that Fame from different Avenues now then just the world surf League. The unique thing about surfing 2 is that unlike other sports you're not ever going to find a guy that gets burned out from doing surfing make it burned out doing the tour but he doesn't get burned out playing the game like some other sports do. RLTW 3/75
Like jay
Next quim barreiros
Round house OK❗️Ww
Congrats, but whatch out Austin 7 years old now ‘s coming :) Austinisaripper 😊
It's spelt *scene*
this is Shane's son isnt it
I dont know man , I see him a little slow in the take off....;-)
That Dorian oversized skull
All The Greats have Came and Went.. We Are Now At The Point Of Diminishing Returns. Nothing will ever be as good as it once was. Ever. It’s all down hill from here. But sure there will be some good ones out there
Kelly 's Godson
Absolutely ripping ATM
Barring injuries doing those flipping things… probably do very well.
Tiny in these clips… so he will need to cut it in real power.
Go for it kid 😅
Clearly really good. But to compare him with Kelly is a bit premature. He seems to prefer 360 a lot. Maybe he should snowboard:)
isnt jackson 17 though????
Tiny chick is good
Think both his Dad, and Kelly are vicariously livin through that hair
