Kelly Slater

Eight times, four decades, 1992, 2022, my man.

You did it.

This is sport history.

Have a nice day, man.

I can never be discouraged.

I'm never worried until my coach gets worried, and my coach is not worried.

When I was first starting out, all I wanted to do was I wanted to be the number one surfer in the world.

I won my first world title at 20.

I went from 43rd in the world to first.

You know, surfing really provides feeling.

I think most humans nowadays with the way life is, we've lost that feeling.

In surfing, it's kind of more personal because you're in the ocean and there's not other people playing this game that you're in.

Whether it's just the speed of the wave, it's a real connection to nature.

I was in a health food shop and there was a tape by Dr. Joel Wallach.

He said, no one dies from old age.

There's no such thing.

You die of a deficiency of something over a long period of time.

I was like, this is fuel for my fire right here.

I'm going to actually like start being healthy.

And then I got into water fasting.
