Kelly Slater has long been the apple of the collective surf world’s eye. When you dominate a sport like no other human has over the course of two decades, that kind of attention is natural. And we’ve had the good fortune of getting to know him pretty well at The Inertia, all things considered. We know his thoughts on gun control, his penchant for chia seeds, as well as his feelings about the “Greatest Athlete Ever” debate. We even know his candid thoughts about the passing of his rival and friend Andy Irons.
However, we did not know that he goes bow hunting with Huey Lewis.
That alone makes this interview by USA Today’s For the Win awesome and reinforces what many have been saying for years: Kelly Slater might be the most interesting man in the world (of sports).
Kelly Slater…an interesting man, indeed.
