Here's A Reminder That Kelly Slater Is Still Better At Surfing Than You Are At Breathing

So you know that thing where human beings need to breath in order to survive? Like without taking in air, you would die. So obviously if you are alive at this current moment, you’re at least somewhat decent at breathing. Personally, I think I’m a pretty exception breather. I can do a lot of different things while I breath. I can do some trick breathing. I’ve been doing it for 26 years now so yeah, I think I have this whole thing down. With that being said…I wouldn’t go around saying I’m a better breather than Kelly Slater is a surfer.

And that makes sense considering Kelly Slater has been surfing professionally for longer than I’ve been breathing. He first turned pro in 1990. The dude is 46 and he’s still out there doing shit like this. And this is after he completely shattered his foot in July 2017 and messed it up again this past summer. And now he’s out there inventing new tricks by faking a wipeout and landing right back on his board to finish out the wave. Kelly Slater is better at surfing a wave than you are at walking down the street. And he’s 46 years old.

It’s actually pretty insane. I mean think about this–Kelly Slater had a video come out in the pretty early days of the PlayStation2 era. Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer came out in 2002. Since then, there has been a PlayStation 3 and a PlayStation 4 and then an even newer PS4. And through all of that, Kelly Slater is still surfing and competing professionally. What a beast. And by the way, Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer is a criminally underrated game. If you never got a chance to play it, you missed out severely.
