Im Kelly;s age...Growing up I thought 30 was old. Guys like Kelly, Tom Brady, Randy Couture have shown that age isnt really a ur body well folks.

Every time I have a chance to watch Kelly surf whether its in a contest or free surfing, I get super excited. He brings to the table that something, that X factor, that leaves my jaw agape and my head shaking every time. Thats the way its been since he emerged on tour. I unashamedly admit, I love him and his outlook on life. Bravo Kelly. May your legacy live for as long as it should.

People will say Kelly should have retired after winning Pipe including myself. However, watching him either win or loose is magical. Kelly you are larger then surfing now. You are the tiger woods of surfing! A true Legend! Thank you Kelly for everything you do in the water and out! Brevard county Florida! Let’s go…

So stoked to have this insight into the GOAT's mind and lifestyle. Way to go WSL!

[Steve-whgd]

Kelly's not only the Goat of Surfing, he's a American Legend.

I think we can all appreciate his influence on surfing and I use the word surfing in the context of competition but also surfing culture. I'm personally not looking forward to when he retires but hope he stays connected to the tour because just his presence gives fans/surfers alike something to aspire to.

He makes it look so easy, ripping the shit outa those waves, in all conditions…and he’s 50 years old…GOAT…never be another like him…thanks for making these vids WSL.

Thanks for a great era of surfing. From the Shaun Tomson, Gerry Lopez generation to my kids growing up with Andy Irons, Kelly Slater (and so many more!) ~San Clemente

I'm not a surfer nor am I familiar with the surfing world in general but Kelly seems like just a really nice guy, passionate about the life but even when things aren't going his way, he will always try and find time to take a pic with a fan or have a chat about how he surfed. Nice change in a world full of prima donna athletes more interested in their social media pages then anything else.

Hands down the Greatest Surfer Ever!!! Long Live the GOAT!!! 🏄‍♂️

[snowboardfringe]

Agree with some of the commentators. In the 50’s and seeing Slater working on the same exercises and stretches in the morning that I do. Feels like validation that we are all on similar paths, even thought we are not because he is the goat!

[oMgxXiTzObAmA]

Crazy trip through a mans eyes. Seems so unshaken so zoned in. It’s a refreshing perspective to see he truly is human after being a super human for damn near two decades

[jwalker]

I grew up in Cambria Ca. Back in the 90's. All the surf boys looked to you. You have grown up and have become a fine role model. As long as you love yourself it does not matter what anyone says. Keep following your heart.

[horaciolongbottom]

I’m 52. Kelly will always be a super hero in my eyes, yet I know he’s still only a human being like me. Which makes it even better. He is the GOAT.

[RVSurf]

This men is just a huge legend Alive! I just sow all of his compets, the work and the huge prep behind are as big as his best heats ! Thank You Kelly Slater

[MrPyrosurfer]

Kelly is the greatest and we are all witnessing history.

[johnbrion]

Great documentary! Can’t wait for more. Go Kelly!

[rodneyevans]

I really liked how they included him having a bad session with the crowd. Something we all experience even the greatest

[billjohnson]

So incredibly inspiring! Absolutely love this guy!

[myvideoguy]

For me, Kelly doesn't need to be the best surfer on any given day. He's done it more than enough times in any conditions through his life and competitive career to earn the right not to, and to still be considered the best of all time. As much as I am, and so many would be forever interested in his surfing, I'm equally, if not more interested in the human. Just like his surfing, there's so much depth there. That's equally as interesting, that's equally as compelling, that's amazing.

I am so stoked to watch this series.
