Dominating the line-up, getting more than his fair share of waves, in Hawaii none the less, and all this while getting close to 50 years old. Absolutely the GOAT. No athlete in any sport has consistently stayed at the top/elite level of his sport for as long as Kelly has.

Kelly doesn’t need sunscreen as he spent most of his time in the barrel .

I love how kelly fades on a wave. So stylish

Kelly will always be my Hero! I once met him and Rob Machado in Huntington Beach, after to O.P.Pro. surfed together, and just a genuine super nice guy! I will never forget that day.

His read on the walls is so impeccable, and that hanging pumping at the top of the wall is reminiscent of Jeff Hackman videos of the 70's...amazing. Crowded.

what’s crazy to think is how many people he is also factoring in dodging while factoring in the wave itself. insanity how good he is. it’s hard to explain how hard what he is doing is if u don’t surf.

That little 360 flic at the end seals it ! Best wave ever! Reef and Ryder!

Kelly is so incredibly good. Just rips giant waves that most surfers would be terrified of. GOAT

Slater... al you can do is smile, and enjoy. The man is 49, Humble Legend. Salutations bro.

Kelly makes surfing any conditions look so effortless. Amazing talent.

That floater at the end was flipping sick!!!

There may be other surfers who spend almost more time in the air than actually on the wave face but Slater has the style, nous and instinct.

Some of if not the best surfing I’ve ever seen on video. Very nice.

Oh I miss Maui

Great clip. Watching Kelly is a treat for the eyes.

It is PACKED out there! Wow!

Toying with Honolua. Amazing…

He's so good because this is just like a typical day in cocoa Beach

GOAT...Simply put!. You're welcome.

I was surfing there on a wave last week in Honokeana Bay 2 miles down from him!!! Epic!! Crazy!!! Slater is AMAZING!!!

Unbelievable.....what else can you say!

I’ve seen kellyboy back in da day out at threes sorry cant tell da spot anywho kelly surfed it like no other its was amazing!!! Aloha bruddah kelly

Kelly is so smooth...

Look at that wave!! Slater still killing it!

There's nothing better than sitting up on hill watching you bad boys surf! Love to photograph you guys! ❤ 🤙

He doesn’t need to do all flashy flips and cocky moves like the typical modern surfer. Poise, elegance, respects the wave and glides gracefully

Now dats da Bestest from kellyman humble let his surfing be his artistic progress flow you surfers know what I mean im Johnny 5from oahu best place on da planet

Up & down back to front. Inside going outside. THE GOAT THE BEST

Still the man in the line up. He’s insane!

Legend, for being able to dodge all the guys paddling out and still hit the critical sections, damn, he's amazing. Greatest Athlete in the World.

The East Coast Goat! Greatest of all time!

Nice crowd

I respect him so much more now from this vid where he actively manoeuvres to avoid people duck diving. Some places around the world these days the good guys seem to be thinking “well hey if you’re a kook and get caught inside on set wave I’m surfing my line and if you’re in the way I’m running you over”

That first wave!?!?!? Deeeep

Awesome! 🤙 Seventeen dudes went home that day bragging “I got ran over by Kelly Slater!”. 🤣

Pretty good to watch Kelly !!! Always a legend and dominating the line up!!!!

SO nice to watch him at his craft.....like no other.

Low key Bay. Epic footage.

Anyone who can surf this much in their life will get that good.. let’s keep it together y’all

Marvelous. The Ocean loves him.

No words for that. 🤯

Best surfing footage on Honolua Bay lve seen..

Thanks for posting ..Kelly loose and ripping on a great wave

The wave & the man, enough said!

Wonderful.

That’s the ‘caves’ section in most of the videos. There are several different sections to the wave from ‘subs’, ‘coconuts’, ‘the point’ before you get to the caves and then a few more after. On some swells the sections are all or mostly fractionated. But when it’s working they all line up and it’s the ride of a lifetime. The caves is brutal. I got stuffed by a guy right there and had to straighten out. It sends you into this little pocket in the cliff. Like a tiny cove. The bottom there is composed of huge smooth stones the size of small boulders that get gradually smaller towards shore. And when it’s big those 100 lb stones are moving around like pebbles around your ankles as you’re trying to walk in. It sounds like an earthquake when a wave rushes in and tosses thousands of massive stones on top of each other. You get stuffed here and you’re pretty much done. It’s truly frightening. That was the only time I ever ‘paddled’ in there. I was forced to straighten out and there is no way you’re getting back out through the caves when it’s big. And it was 7-8 ft that day. Easily 15 ft faces. Although I guess you could try and ride the whitewater at the edge of the bay til it lets you out. But when it’s big, that whitewater is like an exploding bomb at the caves. The video makes it look like it’s breaking way out in open water, but right at the bottom edge of the video the shoreline of the caves section starts. What’s great about Honolua is that the outside sections, Subs and coconuts, are more gradual. The drop is less critical as the water is fairly deep with a gradual slope of these massive rock ledges that lie on an incline. So it’s not like the wave is abruptly hitting a reef ledge and jacking, but rather a more gradual incline making for an easier drop on a more inclined wave face. A lot of longboarders will sit on those two sections. So you can set yourself up for the caves section fairly easily because you have time to see the barrel coming and it’s super predictable. As opposed to a place like pipe. Which is admittedly out of my league at this point as you have to tuck in on a vertical face right from the get go where the wave is sucking up amazingly fast and seems like it’s driving you back up the face while you’re just trying to get down the face. But that line up was unusually sparse in this shot. When Honolua is breaking, the whole island knows about it by the end of the day everyone converges on it by the afternoon. We actually would surf it on southwest swells during the big El Niño of 96. I know it doesn’t look like it but it could catch a southwest swell and break fairly decently although Northwest swells are it’s bread and butter. But the southwest swells were kinda sneaker swells. No one is thinking of checking the Bay during the summer. We only knew about it because we could see part of the Bay from the Ritz where we worked. In the summer the Bay is so calm it’s a pretty good snorkel spot. Except for the tigers that cruise the ledges looking for turtles. Yep, I’ve seen em. So we’d get to surf Honolua uncrowded for almost a full day before a few stragglers would fill in. Was awesome. Truly. A world class wave with less than a dozen guys out. And believe me, the lineup has tons of room with dozens of take off spots. But on a NW swell in the winter, forget about it. It’s a madhouse. Guys fly in from Oahu, the big island and Kauai just to surf that wave when it’s on. It looks like Rincon when it’s on as far as the crowd. There’s like 10 surfers every ten square feet from subs til the very last scraps of the the wave. Reach out and touch someone. And it’s a long fucking wave.

This is just one of those waves like Tavarua, Soup Bowl, Pipe, etc, that Kelly just has a special connection with. He surfs it like it was his home break growing up and just dominates when he paddles out. It's like the wave was tailor made for him.

Epic. That was the longest floater I’ve ever seen while I was watching it the first time I thought the video glitched.

Kelly is truly like a video game when he surfs, he makes the impossible possible and always looks so smooth and full charging at every moment. Best surfer in history…prove me wrong ☕️😉🏄🏽‍♂️

That is sensational surfing, I've never seen someone get bashed by the lip and stand up to let us mere mortals on you tube have it... ❤️

The GOAT doing GOAT like things.

Pretty nice life he’s got!!!

His angle of attack was spot on. GOATED.

Awesome GOAT footage!

A pro surfer always finds a way to enjoy surf even when there's lot of surfers around.

Amazing

Best ever...

Talent, amazing surf on the wave

Amazing! Kelly is a God of the Ocean.

Took brass gonads to pull off that floater in big surf!

The seas part for the GOAT.

Unreal. Clean. GOAT.

Man on fire. Looked a bit like setting up for barrel at Padang Padang only frontside obviously 👽🤘

And that was just Kelly kind of farting around. Having fun per say. Kelly Slater having fun and relaxing = you or I having the best day we've ever had in our entire life xs 10.

That 50 year old sure knows how to work a surfboard.

Wow he never had to paddle into one wave. Every take off he magically appeared on the wave.

Master!
