Kelly Slater on Learning Andy Irons Went to Rehab | Kissed By God (Raw Outtakes)

In making "Andy Irons: Kissed by God," the directors Steve and Todd Jones accumulated hours of emotional interview footage of Andy's arch-rival, 11x World Champion Kelly Slater telling all. As Slater sat down for the camera and gave his personal perspective behind professional surfing’s arguably greatest rivalry, both laughs and tears were had.

After whittling down Slater’s interview footage for the documentary, the directors realized they still had plenty of fascinating stories left over.
