- A 30-plus year career at the highest level of surfing, 11 world titles, and an incalculable impact on his sport and beyond: A case can be made that nobody has ever been more dominant at their sport than Kelly Slater. Another could be made that he is one of the best pro athletes-turned-golfers on the planet. Slater joins host Casey Bannon on Mind Game to discuss his path to greatness, communicating with the ocean, structure vs. creativity, performing under pressure, what’s driving him to still compete, his love for Moe Norman and the time he played 18 holes between heats.

Worked with Kelly on a couple of photo shoots and he was a dream. Professional, understanding of delays, and very flexible.
Love how a golfing outlet pulled the best interview out of Slater, that I have heard, anyway. Great job.
I'm not into golf, but I've surfed almost my whole life. I've seen Kelly come to my home spot in Santa Barbara and just blow up. Make local waves look like the best waves on the planet. Amazing.
Thanks for interview.
Kelly is awesome. What stood out to me above this awesomeness was Casey the host. He needs his own podcast.
At "smoke signals" I realized the goat had his heart wide open to transparency during this talk. Pure Gold 🌿🙏
There's an interview with Mick Fanning speaking about this. He said Seth who lost to him at pipeline said Kelly wasn't out there and Mick mentioned that Kelly talks to waves.
He's truly wise. I love listening to him! You asked great questions ~ thank you💫
Kelly explaining golf is the best.
I love surfing also.
Great questions as a huge Kelly fan and surfer from Florida
Thank you for this long form interview with this legend! Kelly has so much knowledge to share with this world and I love hearing him talk about all kinds of different topics. He's one of the best athletes to ever walk this planet, a multi business owner, and seems to be an incredible human with a genuine heart though I've never met him in person. I hope he continues to give us these interviews as he gets older and hopefully gets a little more free time in his life once off of the WSL tour. What I hope happens now that foiling disciplines are really starting to grow that he gets into foiling and is one of the best foilers in the world until he's like 85 years old since some of the foiling disciplines aren't as demanding on the body. His ability to read the ocean is probably still the best in the world so he would be insane at down wind foiling, etc. He geeks out on anything involving surf technology so he will really geek out on all the technology that's in these foiling designs. This is just my selfish hope since I've turned all my focus and love of surfing over to mostly just obsessing over foiling these days! Now the foiling world wants/needs Kelly for the next 30-plus years!
Aa
Brilliant - the explanation of his success to a non surfer works really well
Thank you a lot for sharing this! When the GOAT speaks you have to listen and take note. Keep it going with the interviews.
Dr . Slater, literally. Super intelligent.
Sarcasm? Dude has like an 8th grade education.
@@tyson9419 Jealous much? Kelly is a High School graduate, owns a successful clothing company & is the greatest surfer on all time.
will say it again, this is the best kelly interview #finally #mahalo
Always good to hear Kelly’s thoughts
...Excellent interview with a surfer I've known since his Highschool surfing days in Cocoa Beach & Sebashtian inlet... His greatest quality hasn't changed... His ability to focus on his surroundings from a deep mediative position, regardless of whether he is in the water or knot..Thank you. Kelly🤙...Artist, Old Naples Florida🌴🎨
Well done. Great interview.
Best mag in the business, great interview and work as usual Casey!
Always keeps it real!!
Kelly is just aligned. It's crazy. He just fits into the universe. Look where he's sitting .. Did anyone notice? The plant on the left perfectly follows the curb of all his face and head on the right side.. The poster behind him cuts right to the left side and falls right on his neck then follows the shoulder... He's in a frame. All the time. It's mindblowing. He's what I call "a perfect 2" as well... His name, month of birth, day of birth, the sum of all the letters in hisname, they ALL equal 2.
He's phenomenal.
Maybe he'll convert to Islam too someday. Inchaallah who knows.
Hah. Islam could convert to Kelly. He’s far ahead of the sharing of a slave master and child molestor. Do your homework. It’s right there in your favourite book. 🤷♂️
My least schizo friend 😂
Kelly sure loves long interviews....
Great first question, don’t know if I’ve heard him answer this before
❤
What is the intro/outro song ?
interviewer doesn't surf not surprised 😂
Do you think he likes water hazards?
What hazards?
..hahaha....only at Pebble Beach Dawg....
Golf, the sport of the elite... 🤮
Jesus how come so much of the interview is about golf ?!?
