00:00:31,273 --> 00:00:33,904
[Guerrero] Aloha.
[speaks Hawaiian]
2
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:38,674
Good morning
from the beautiful
North Shore of Oahu.
3
00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:42,382
Stop number one
on the championship tour.
4
00:00:42,518 --> 00:00:44,342
-[announcer 1]
Can I get all...
-[fan singing]
5
00:00:44,478 --> 00:00:47,215
-...of the WCT men's
surfers to come on in?
-[chattering]
6
00:00:47,351 --> 00:00:51,852
[Guerrero] Starting off
the year, there is one person
we are gonna be missing.
7
00:00:51,987 --> 00:00:55,620
Earlier this week,
Gabe Medina gave us notice.
8
00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:57,659
He's not gonna be competing.
9
00:01:01,635 --> 00:01:04,028
[person]
I'm missing Gabriel.
I'm missing the guy.
10
00:01:04,163 --> 00:01:07,438
He's the-- He's
the main character here.
11
00:01:07,574 --> 00:01:10,242
It's crazy 'cause
so many things going on
12
00:01:10,378 --> 00:01:13,270
with, uh--
in his personal life,
you know?
13
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:16,777
-I hope he comes back soon.
-[contestants] Mahalo.
14
00:01:18,311 --> 00:01:21,746
There's a Gabriel Medina-sized
gap right now for the men.
15
00:01:21,881 --> 00:01:26,051
It's gonna be interesting to
see who can kinda capitalize
on it. It's cutthroat.
16
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:28,987
They've really got to get it
right from the get-go.
17
00:01:31,527 --> 00:01:33,125
Well, of course we miss Gabriel.
18
00:01:33,261 --> 00:01:36,862
He's a-- He's probably
one of the best in my opinion.
19
00:01:36,998 --> 00:01:39,463
One of the most complete surfers
on the planet.
20
00:01:39,598 --> 00:01:40,900
[fans cheering]
21
00:01:42,677 --> 00:01:45,738
But for me, it's my chance
to win the World Title.
22
00:01:45,874 --> 00:01:50,241
-Aloha. Aloha!
-[contestants] Aloha. Aloha.
23
00:01:50,377 --> 00:01:52,983
[Hodge] I think it's hard to
quit when you're on top.
24
00:01:53,118 --> 00:01:54,585
[MC speaks Hawaiian]
25
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,923
[Hodge] The last time
someone won a World Title
26
00:01:58,059 --> 00:02:02,557
and then said, "Okay,
I'm stepping away from it,"
I think it was Kelly Slater.
27
00:02:02,693 --> 00:02:04,957
[fans and contestants
cheering, whistling]
28
00:02:07,565 --> 00:02:09,293
[smacks lips]
I'm Kelly Slater.
29
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:14,236
I've been
on the World Surf Tour
for, uh, 30 years now.
30
00:02:14,372 --> 00:02:16,243
[fans cheering, whistling]
31
00:02:16,378 --> 00:02:17,769
[commentator 1]
Every few years of surfing,
32
00:02:17,905 --> 00:02:19,379
there's a changing
of the guard.
33
00:02:19,515 --> 00:02:22,375
Leading that change, 1992,
is Kelly Slater.
34
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:24,483
[announcer] $14,000.
35
00:02:24,618 --> 00:02:26,285
I don't know if you know,
but you're gonna win
36
00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:28,052
the Rookie of the Year
for Triple Crown Surf.
37
00:02:28,187 --> 00:02:30,353
-Congratulations on that.
-Really? All right.
I didn't know.
38
00:02:30,489 --> 00:02:32,424
[Bell] Kelly was like
an exception.
39
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:36,296
Five times more successful
than any of his peers.
40
00:02:36,431 --> 00:02:38,989
One of the greatest athletes
to walk the planet.
41
00:02:39,124 --> 00:02:43,067
Most of all, it's what I love,
and I'd be doing it
even if I wasn't making money.
42
00:02:43,203 --> 00:02:45,530
So thank God for these waves.
43
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:49,303
[Kennedy] Kelly Slater
won his first four
or five World Titles
44
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:54,413
in a mindset that was just
born out of pure competition
and competitive drive.
45
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,042
He was unbeatable.
46
00:02:58,177 --> 00:03:01,948
Then he left the tour
around the late 1990s.
47
00:03:02,083 --> 00:03:05,490
But he came back
and won five World Titles.
48
00:03:05,625 --> 00:03:07,293
[commentator 2]
'Cause he absolutely--
49
00:03:07,429 --> 00:03:09,186
[commentator 1]
No way that wave--
50
00:03:09,321 --> 00:03:11,026
-How good does that guy surf...
-Here he comes.
51
00:03:11,161 --> 00:03:14,434
It's Kelly Slater,
nine-time World Champion.
52
00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:17,066
[Kennedy] Last time
Kelly won the World Title
53
00:03:17,201 --> 00:03:19,729
was 2011.
54
00:03:19,865 --> 00:03:25,202
I remember him saying,
"This could be the last time
we see Kelly Slater win."
55
00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:31,847
Jehovah. Jesu. Jehovah. Jesus.
[speaks Hawaiian]
56
00:03:31,983 --> 00:03:34,387
[Fanning]
I think a lot of people
scratch their heads.
57
00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:37,390
Like,
what does he have to prove?
58
00:03:37,525 --> 00:03:39,025
He doesn't have to win
any more World Titles.
59
00:03:39,161 --> 00:03:40,858
Doesn't have to win an event.
60
00:03:40,994 --> 00:03:43,862
He's-- He's the GOAT.
He will always be the GOAT.
61
00:03:43,997 --> 00:03:45,490
[group singing]
62
00:03:45,626 --> 00:03:49,862
[Kennedy] I think the analogy
that often gets used,
uh, in-- in sport,
63
00:03:49,997 --> 00:03:51,905
is the Muhammad Ali analogy,
you know.
64
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,139
He probably had
a few too many fights
and the legacy was tainted.
65
00:03:56,274 --> 00:03:58,435
[MC speaks Hawaiian]
66
00:03:58,570 --> 00:04:01,108
[Kennedy] I think
the worst-case scenario
is that Kelly
67
00:04:01,244 --> 00:04:04,617
sort of has three or four
really bad results in a row
68
00:04:04,753 --> 00:04:08,421
and that's the last memory
we have of Kelly Slater.
69
00:04:11,056 --> 00:04:13,360
[MC in English] In Hawaii,
it's all about respect.
70
00:04:14,556 --> 00:04:15,724
The good name.
71
00:04:15,859 --> 00:04:19,627
People will forget about you
as time goes on,
72
00:04:19,762 --> 00:04:21,929
but they won't forget your name.
73
00:04:22,698 --> 00:04:24,503
[fans cheering, whistling]
74
00:04:37,652 --> 00:04:40,112
[Slater] I've been pro
for over 30 years, you know.
75
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:43,854
But I started
surfing in contests
when I was eight.
76
00:04:43,989 --> 00:04:46,657
So, you know, my career's
really been 40 years.
77
00:04:48,326 --> 00:04:51,054
Since I was a kid,
the tour's been
in sort of everything.
78
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:52,729
It's, you know,
my whole life.
79
00:04:58,238 --> 00:04:59,204
-Ouch.
-[friend 1] Wow.
80
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:00,673
[friend 2 chuckles]
Headache?
81
00:05:00,809 --> 00:05:02,274
-[Slater] I grew up
in a broken home...
-Oh, no.
82
00:05:02,410 --> 00:05:03,538
-...with a lot of drama.
-[grunting]
83
00:05:03,673 --> 00:05:05,101
[friend 2 grunts]
Ah, yeah.
84
00:05:05,237 --> 00:05:06,202
He's all, "Don't hit hard."
85
00:05:06,338 --> 00:05:07,739
-Then you clocked me.
-[friend 2 chuckles]
86
00:05:07,874 --> 00:05:09,274
My dad drinking a lot,
87
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:11,516
-it was painful for me.
-[speaks indistinctly, laughs]
88
00:05:11,652 --> 00:05:13,511
-I have to surf tomorrow.
-[chuckles]
89
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,113
-[friend 1 chuckles] Fuck. Yeah.
-Let's go video some surfing.
90
00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:18,954
[Slater] So,
I was pretty intense as a kid.
91
00:05:19,089 --> 00:05:21,521
My skill to deal with it
was just to go out and compete.
92
00:05:21,657 --> 00:05:22,623
[children cheering]
93
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:23,889
When you're a competitor,
94
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:26,190
your ego protects you
in some way.
95
00:05:26,325 --> 00:05:28,468
It helps you have
this, like, armor.
96
00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:32,131
The surfing competitions
and winning,
97
00:05:32,267 --> 00:05:33,968
-that was everything to me.
-[fans cheering]
98
00:05:35,235 --> 00:05:37,378
And, um,
I took it very seriously.
99
00:05:39,144 --> 00:05:42,009
Well,
what do I take in the morning?
What are my morning pills?
100
00:05:42,944 --> 00:05:44,484
[partner] Here.
These are yours.
101
00:05:45,451 --> 00:05:47,018
What got me to where I am,
102
00:05:47,154 --> 00:05:50,190
what got me the World Titles
and all the contest stuff,
has been, like,
103
00:05:50,326 --> 00:05:53,150
really, like,
an ob-- an obsession.
104
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,354
But being obsessed
about anything probably
105
00:05:55,489 --> 00:05:58,222
doesn't balance the scales
very well. [chuckles]
106
00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,896
I gotta get out of this house
and do something
107
00:06:00,032 --> 00:06:02,000
'cause I'm gonna keep eating
and not do anything.
108
00:06:02,135 --> 00:06:05,269
-[partner] 'Kay, go--
-Or maybe I'll do
a steam real quick.
109
00:06:05,404 --> 00:06:08,600
-What do you have on today?
-Um, I have a lot of
work stuff to do.
110
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:09,806
Let's see...
111
00:06:11,473 --> 00:06:15,674
Kelly's gonna be
50 in two weeks.
Two weeks and counting.
112
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:19,310
I've been... [stammers]
...given a stern warning
to not have a party.
113
00:06:20,612 --> 00:06:23,523
"Do not." [stammers]
Like, "Do not."
I was like...
114
00:06:23,658 --> 00:06:25,485
What am I missing in there?
What'd I miss?
115
00:06:25,621 --> 00:06:26,691
[Miller] Nothing.
116
00:06:28,095 --> 00:06:30,761
-Nothing you have
to worry about yet.
-Nothing? Oh.
117
00:06:31,996 --> 00:06:33,230
I think of 50.
That's a lot of years.
118
00:06:33,365 --> 00:06:35,369
That's old, man.
119
00:06:35,504 --> 00:06:37,699
When I was 21,
I had all these little goals,
120
00:06:37,834 --> 00:06:42,201
and they all fed this demon
inside of me that could
beat anyone and anything.
121
00:06:46,748 --> 00:06:50,044
Now I can feel that light
going out, you know?
122
00:06:53,253 --> 00:06:58,583
But this contest is on,
and my birthday is right
at the tail end of it.
123
00:06:58,719 --> 00:07:02,562
So, that would be
the dream for me.
Win this thing.
124
00:07:18,213 --> 00:07:20,811
["Yes Always" playing]
125
00:07:20,946 --> 00:07:22,780
[Guerrero]
Welcome back to Pipeline.
126
00:07:24,148 --> 00:07:26,782
[Williams]
Today is the day
where we kick things off.
127
00:07:26,918 --> 00:07:30,250
The start of
the 2022 Championship Tour.
128
00:07:31,553 --> 00:07:33,619
-Try hard, bro.
Try really hard.
-You have to try.
129
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:37,289
[Williams]
The energy levels that
I'm feeling is off the charts.
130
00:07:39,258 --> 00:07:41,425
You can feel
the beach shaking.
131
00:07:46,107 --> 00:07:48,905
[Hodge] Pipe is
the most challenging wave
on the planet.
132
00:07:54,111 --> 00:07:57,617
The way that it breaks
over shallow-water reef
133
00:07:57,752 --> 00:08:01,951
and the sheer power
that it has, it's scary.
134
00:08:02,087 --> 00:08:05,524
I mean,
it really is a wave
that you can die at.
135
00:08:05,659 --> 00:08:08,628
[Guerrero]
The power of the waves here.
136
00:08:09,730 --> 00:08:12,292
You know, things can go
dangerously wrong.
137
00:08:13,629 --> 00:08:16,867
[Ahrendt]
It's the key points
for judging today.
138
00:08:17,002 --> 00:08:19,865
It's big and it's
scary waves out there.
139
00:08:20,001 --> 00:08:23,608
So we want to see
the commitment, degree of
difficulty on that takeoff
140
00:08:23,744 --> 00:08:26,142
to be able to get super deep
in the barrel.
141
00:08:26,277 --> 00:08:28,648
Now, the important waves
that we need to focus on...
142
00:08:29,414 --> 00:08:30,408
[fans cheering]
143
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,821
[Cote] A lot of,
uh, upsets happening on
the first day of competition.
144
00:08:38,291 --> 00:08:40,089
[Turpel]
It'll be a slow start
to the season
145
00:08:40,225 --> 00:08:43,290
for Filipe Toledo
and Ítalo Ferreira.
146
00:08:44,693 --> 00:08:48,195
-[Guerrero]
Jack Robinson. Goes down.
-[fans groan]
147
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:52,001
[Guerrero] We are gonna
lose Morgan Cibilic.
148
00:08:53,104 --> 00:08:56,302
It's a long year, my boy.
A long year.
149
00:08:57,637 --> 00:09:01,208
[Guerrero]
Coming up in the next heat,
Kelly Slater.
150
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,689
You know superman food?
You like Spam?

[both chuckle]
152
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:16,353
-Don't tell anybody,
but I love that shit.
-Bro, I-- I love this shit too.
153
00:09:16,488 --> 00:09:19,455
It's Kelly! Thank you.

signing something.

00:09:21,661 --> 00:09:23,334
-[fans laugh]
-[fan 1] Can I have one
with you?
156
00:09:23,470 --> 00:09:24,470
[fan 1 and 2] Thank you.
157
00:09:24,605 --> 00:09:25,538
-There you go.
-Thank you.
158
00:09:25,673 --> 00:09:27,602
[Slater]
Bro, you got the wrong jersey.
159
00:09:27,737 --> 00:09:31,002
They didn't have yours.
I asked them and they
didn't have yours.
160
00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:32,670
[Slater] Hey, buddy. Here.
161
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:34,037
No way!

00:09:34,172 --> 00:09:35,572
Aw! You are a legend.
163
00:09:35,707 --> 00:09:38,548
Thanks, Kelly. That's
very nice of you, mate.
164
00:09:38,684 --> 00:09:39,785
-[fan 6] Kelly.
-Hey, man.
165
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,411
-[fan 6] Moved from Cocoa Beach.
-[Slater] Did you?
166
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:42,889
[fan 6]
You have a favorite res--
167
00:09:43,025 --> 00:09:45,355
-You go to Jazzy's over there?
-[Slater] Sometimes. Yeah.
168
00:09:45,491 --> 00:09:47,922
-[fan 6 chuckles]
Small world, man.
-So, that's like--
169
00:09:48,057 --> 00:09:49,491
-[fan 7] Thank you.
-Wow.
170
00:09:49,626 --> 00:09:51,494
-Do you think
this is your last one?
-[fans chattering]
171
00:09:51,629 --> 00:09:53,429
-[announcer 1]
Bronze medalist...
-Think this is your last?
172
00:09:53,564 --> 00:09:55,292
-Are you sticking around?
-We don't know. We'll see.
173
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:56,760
[fan chuckles]
Yeah, we'll see.
174
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:58,936
-All right.
Thanks, brother.
-[fan 8] Thank you.
175
00:10:06,037 --> 00:10:07,747
[Guerrero] These are the--
the heats you dream of.
176
00:10:09,047 --> 00:10:12,283
Especially for the local boy,
Barron Mamiya.
177
00:10:12,419 --> 00:10:15,186
[Rothman]
Barron's been out here since
a young teenager charging.
178
00:10:15,322 --> 00:10:17,816
- He's always been a standout.
-[fans cheering, whistling]
179
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:20,321
[Cote]
Future GOAT potential
with Barron Mamiya.
180
00:10:20,457 --> 00:10:22,062
[Rothman] Just kind of
a generational heat.
181
00:10:22,197 --> 00:10:24,423
Barron's been looking up
to Kelly his whole life.
182
00:10:26,531 --> 00:10:31,598
[Cote]
But the kid is on fire and
not gonna back down at all.
183
00:10:31,733 --> 00:10:33,531
[Rothman]
He's not backing down
to nobody.
184
00:10:38,739 --> 00:10:41,947
[Cote]
Barron Mamiya grabbing rail.
Beautiful ride here.
185
00:10:42,082 --> 00:10:45,917
He's got room. He comes out.
Oh, right. Game on.
186
00:10:47,419 --> 00:10:52,424
Here we go. Kelly Slater
falls from the sky.
Can he come out?
187
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:53,694
-[fans groan]
-No.
188
00:10:55,163 --> 00:10:57,361
I'm always surprised
when Kelly Slater
falls in a barrel.
189
00:10:57,496 --> 00:10:58,688
[fans cheering]
190
00:10:58,823 --> 00:11:00,991
[Cote] Barron Mamiya.
Oh, my gosh. Just perfect.
191
00:11:01,127 --> 00:11:03,030
Sliding into this.
192
00:11:03,165 --> 00:11:08,335
You're watching
a changing in the guard.
Barron Mamiya on fire.
193
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:12,713
[Cote] An 8.67.
A huge lead over Kelly Slater.
194
00:11:14,315 --> 00:11:17,712
[announcer 2]
Top two scores will be
combined for your heat total.
195
00:11:17,847 --> 00:11:22,980
-The top surfer will advance.
-[Miller] Come on, Kelly.
Let's do this.
196
00:11:23,115 --> 00:11:27,224
[commentator 4]
It's Kelly Slater.
No Grab. Pulling in.
197
00:11:27,359 --> 00:11:29,554
-[announcer 1] Pulled in.
-[Miller] Go. Go. Whoo!
198
00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:31,594
-[announcer 4] Finds the exit.
-[Miller] Come on.
199
00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:37,567
[Cote] Kelly Slater
fighting back. Deep bottom
turn straight in the pocket.
200
00:11:37,702 --> 00:11:39,933
[Kemper]
That'll get him right back
in this heat.
201
00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:44,377
[Cote] Slater means business
right now. Not taking Barron
Mamiya lightly at all.
202
00:11:44,512 --> 00:11:46,945
[Rothman] Oh, yeah,
but Barron Mamiya is
still in the lead.
203
00:11:48,614 --> 00:11:50,810
[announcer 4]
204
00:11:50,946 --> 00:11:52,412
[announcer 5]
205
00:11:53,479 --> 00:11:57,290
Come on, waves.
He needs one more.
206
00:11:57,425 --> 00:12:00,150
[Cote] Here we go.
More waves coming.
Mamiya again.
207
00:12:00,285 --> 00:12:04,564
The beautiful ride.
Uh-oh, winding up.
Big finish.
208
00:12:04,699 --> 00:12:05,997
[Rothman]
If he makes this...
209
00:12:07,832 --> 00:12:09,099
Oh, my goodness.
210
00:12:12,102 --> 00:12:13,631
[Cote] No, it clamps down.
211
00:12:13,766 --> 00:12:16,436
Almost nailed
for Barron Mamiya.
212
00:12:16,571 --> 00:12:18,405
[Wasilewski]
It would've been a huge score.
213
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:24,608
[announcer 4] One minute,
15 seconds remaining.
214
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:28,415
Kelly Slater,
you need a 7.18 to go to first.
215
00:12:29,422 --> 00:12:31,223
Come on.
216
00:12:31,359 --> 00:12:34,757
[Kemper]
So Kelly can choose any wave
in the lineup that comes in.
217
00:12:34,892 --> 00:12:39,459
[Cote] The anticipation
just builds every time
you see a bump on the horizon.
218
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:43,132
Counting down 45 seconds.
219
00:12:43,268 --> 00:12:47,073
[Kemper] And time can't
tick away fast enough for
the young Barron Mamiya.
220
00:12:47,209 --> 00:12:50,074
[Rothman] About 40 seconds
to the biggest win of his life.
221
00:12:51,776 --> 00:12:54,045
[Cote]
Any chance these waves
can come through in time?
222
00:12:55,214 --> 00:12:57,345
[Rothman] Do see
a bump in the water here.
223
00:13:04,886 --> 00:13:07,019
-[announcer speaks indistinctly]
-Should've taken that one.
224
00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:09,124
-I don't know.
-[announcer]
Counting down ten seconds.
225
00:13:09,259 --> 00:13:11,095
Maybe this one.
Go. Come on, big boy.
226
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:18,300
-[Cote] Five. Four.
-[thumping]
227
00:13:20,035 --> 00:13:23,844
Three. Two.
228
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:26,275
One!
229
00:13:44,259 --> 00:13:46,130
[fans cheering, whistling]
230
00:13:47,668 --> 00:13:49,159
[Rothman chuckling]
231
00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:50,828
-[Kemper] That's what you--
-[Cote] Four seconds left.
232
00:13:50,963 --> 00:13:54,169
The GOAT doing GOAT things.
Blasting through.
233
00:13:54,305 --> 00:13:58,370
-Whoo! I have goose bumps.
-Whoo!
234
00:13:58,506 --> 00:14:00,044
[Kemper]
Greatest surfer of all time.
235
00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:02,482
[Rothman chuckles]
Oh, my goodness.
236
00:14:02,617 --> 00:14:06,810
-[fans cheering] Whoo!
-[Cote] Sensei Slater
does it again.
237
00:14:10,119 --> 00:14:12,415
That was amazing.
238
00:14:12,551 --> 00:14:14,021
[fans cheering, whistling]
239
00:14:14,156 --> 00:14:17,891
-[announcer]
-[screams]
240
00:14:18,026 --> 00:14:20,867
[announcer]
241
00:14:21,003 --> 00:14:22,661
-[fans cheering]
-[Hodge] Kelly Slater,
242
00:14:22,797 --> 00:14:25,970
it was four seconds left
as your hands left the rail.
243
00:14:26,106 --> 00:14:27,906
Is there any better feeling
in surfing?
244
00:14:28,042 --> 00:14:29,607
- ...on a hard-fought battle.
-[pants]
245
00:14:29,742 --> 00:14:31,777
-Congratulations,
Barron and Kelly.
-[sighs, chuckles]
246
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:34,914
-[Cote] And Ítalo Ferreira
at Pipeline...
-Ah. [exhales sharply]
247
00:14:35,049 --> 00:14:37,915
[pants] That's how we do it,
you know?
248
00:14:38,051 --> 00:14:39,617
That's what it's all about.
249
00:14:39,752 --> 00:14:42,747
[Slater] Barron's--
He's the next generation
out here, you know?
250
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:45,189
It's crazy, thinking back
on 30 years,
251
00:14:45,324 --> 00:14:47,086
how many times that's happened
and gone my way.
252
00:14:47,221 --> 00:14:49,723
-[Rothman speaks indistinctly]
-I don't know what
to chalk it up to,
253
00:14:49,859 --> 00:14:53,527
but-- except for, uh, you know,
spending my life in the ocean.
254
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,733
-[Slater] Hey, babe.
-[Miller chuckles]
255
00:14:56,868 --> 00:14:58,895
[Miller] So cool. Mmm.
256
00:15:02,033 --> 00:15:03,770
[Cote] We've got it.
The last score
257
00:15:03,906 --> 00:15:05,945
-of Kanoa Igarashi...
-[Miller] It was on,
two, one.
258
00:15:06,081 --> 00:15:08,949
I know. Four seconds
when I stood up they said.
259
00:15:19,050 --> 00:15:20,452
[Miller] Babe,
do you wanna take a sauna?
260
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:21,753
[Slater] Yeah,
I just turned it on.
261
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:26,829
I can still compete
on my days, you know,
262
00:15:26,964 --> 00:15:29,601
and-- and do well.
263
00:15:29,736 --> 00:15:33,365
You know, I don't think
anyone takes me lightly,
but at the same time,
264
00:15:33,501 --> 00:15:39,712
I don't live and breathe
and die by the competition
day-to-day anymore.
265
00:15:39,848 --> 00:15:42,711
Yeah, I'm getting more
comfortable with the fact
that those days are--
266
00:15:42,847 --> 00:15:45,645
That was a different
focus for me. It was
a different time for me.
267
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,188
[interviewer]
268
00:15:53,055 --> 00:15:59,230
Um, well, it will probably
be my last full year of
competition, so...
269
00:16:00,097 --> 00:16:01,432
I'm tired, you know?
270
00:16:01,568 --> 00:16:04,663
I'm fucking tired... [chuckles]
...of just so many contests,
271
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,805
so much focus,
so much discipline for so long.
272
00:16:07,941 --> 00:16:12,144
And, um, it takes a toll
on you, you know? You just
wanna, like, check out of it.
273
00:16:27,454 --> 00:16:31,323
[Williams] The call
is made early morning here
on the North Shore of Oahu.
274
00:16:31,459 --> 00:16:33,165
The event is off today.
275
00:16:42,037 --> 00:16:44,477
-[Bell] Oh, fuck.
-Hitting the right side
of the fairway.
276
00:16:44,612 --> 00:16:46,172
Mmm, not really.
277
00:16:46,308 --> 00:16:48,105
My name is Stephen Bell.
278
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,917
Uh, most people
in the surfing world
know me as "Belly."
279
00:16:51,052 --> 00:16:55,451
Um, do I have a job?
Uh, no. Today, no.
280
00:16:56,686 --> 00:16:59,854
But I was employed by Quiksilver
for three decades.
281
00:16:59,989 --> 00:17:02,788
I was very fortunate to be
Kelly's day-to-day manager.
282
00:17:04,631 --> 00:17:06,693
-[Slater]
Ah, that's so bad.
-And he's duffed it.
283
00:17:06,829 --> 00:17:08,728
He's my brother.
He's like family.
284
00:17:08,863 --> 00:17:11,462
-[Slater] Okay, closest to.
-The red one?
285
00:17:11,598 --> 00:17:14,067
-Yeah. How much?
-How much?
286
00:17:14,202 --> 00:17:16,806
-Ten dollars. If--
-Have you got the cash
in your pocket?
287
00:17:16,942 --> 00:17:18,139
-I do.
-Really?
288
00:17:18,275 --> 00:17:19,376
-Yep.
-Show me.
289
00:17:20,507 --> 00:17:22,109
-Do you?
-[chuckles]
290
00:17:22,245 --> 00:17:25,207
I mean,
he's smart enough to know
when he's given enough
291
00:17:25,343 --> 00:17:27,814
and-- and to go forward
to the next stage in life.
292
00:17:27,949 --> 00:17:29,689
-[Slater] Let's go.
-[Bell] I've known him long.
293
00:17:29,825 --> 00:17:31,148
He's there to win.
294
00:17:31,284 --> 00:17:35,287
And it's not to win one heat,
it's to win the event.
295
00:17:35,422 --> 00:17:36,687
He thrives on it.
296
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:38,188
He shanks it.
Easiest ten bucks
297
00:17:38,323 --> 00:17:40,559
-I'm ever gonna make.
-Oh, my God!
Double or nothing.
298
00:17:40,694 --> 00:17:42,094
[Bell]
You gotta have a healthy ego
299
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:44,864
to believe in yourself
to get what these
human beings have done.
300
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,236
The Michael Jordans,
the Kelly Slaters,
the Tiger Woods.
301
00:17:48,371 --> 00:17:50,032
Oh, you got me.
You fucker.
302
00:17:50,168 --> 00:17:52,038
[Bell] So many people
want a bit of your arse,
303
00:17:52,173 --> 00:17:55,079
and-- and then you have
to switch that off
and do what you do.
304
00:17:55,214 --> 00:17:57,645
And he has
that ability to do that.
305
00:17:59,177 --> 00:18:00,978
We're gonna call it a day
right there.
306
00:18:02,722 --> 00:18:03,717
[chuckles]
307
00:18:14,595 --> 00:18:15,659
[Cote] The call is on.
308
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:19,535
Quarterfinal action starts now.
309
00:18:20,672 --> 00:18:22,099
And why not just fire
this thing up
310
00:18:22,234 --> 00:18:24,769
with one of the heats
of the contest?
311
00:18:24,904 --> 00:18:29,014
We've got Kelly Slater,
the GOAT, going up against
Kanoa Igarashi.
312
00:18:29,149 --> 00:18:34,484
These stats may shock you.
Kanoa has the GOAT
three wins to zero.
313
00:18:36,053 --> 00:18:38,149
[Whitaker]
These are the slow moments
you want to enjoy.
314
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:40,158
-[Igarashi] Yeah.
Just gotta enjoy 'em.
-It's fine.
315
00:18:40,294 --> 00:18:43,022
Especially against
the master of this spot.
316
00:18:43,157 --> 00:18:45,088
Whether it's Kelly or
whoever's mastering the spot.
317
00:18:45,224 --> 00:18:46,896
-Yeah.
-...you're a master
of the chess game,
318
00:18:47,031 --> 00:18:49,433
-and you're really,
really good out here.
-[Igarashi] Exactly.
319
00:18:50,601 --> 00:18:52,467
[Igarashi]
When I was around 13, 14,
320
00:18:52,603 --> 00:18:54,502
I was watching Kelly
win his World Titles.
321
00:18:54,638 --> 00:18:56,132
Nowadays, he looks at me
as an opponent.
322
00:18:57,312 --> 00:18:59,106
My first heat with Kelly
was out here at Pipe.
323
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:02,479
I ended up beating him,
and ever since
I'm, like, 3-0 with him.
324
00:19:03,916 --> 00:19:06,517
I know he knows it,
but think I kind of
got him here.
325
00:19:06,652 --> 00:19:08,779
-[waves lapping]
-[Whitaker] Let's be smart.
326
00:19:08,914 --> 00:19:10,181
-Be wary of him...
-Yeah.
327
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:11,614
-...and then just
fall into a rhythm.
-Yeah.
328
00:19:11,749 --> 00:19:12,819
Trust your instincts.
329
00:19:14,088 --> 00:19:17,257
-Trust that
samurai decision, yeah?
-Yeah. Easy.
330
00:19:17,392 --> 00:19:20,464
-Enjoy it. Let's get him.
Let's get him.
-Yeah. Yeah.
331
00:19:22,535 --> 00:19:24,330
[Kennedy]
Kelly's never beaten Kanoa.
332
00:19:24,465 --> 00:19:29,139
So for him, that's a kind of,
uh-- a mini battle
and a mini motivation
333
00:19:29,274 --> 00:19:31,068
en route to reaching the final.
334
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:34,047
There's no doubt that
he would know the stats...
335
00:19:34,182 --> 00:19:36,077
-[chuckles] ...very well.
-Ah.
336
00:19:36,212 --> 00:19:37,349
Oh, yeah.
337
00:19:38,751 --> 00:19:43,321
I think Kelly will use
any kind of motivation
that he can
338
00:19:43,456 --> 00:19:45,748
if he can find a way
of making it a challenge
339
00:19:45,884 --> 00:19:50,560
or making it, like,
a little game for himself.
A little competition.
340
00:19:52,027 --> 00:19:53,563
-[Slater] All right.
-[Miller] Okay. Bye, babe.
341
00:19:53,698 --> 00:19:55,565
-Bye, guys. [coughs]
-[person 1] All right.
342
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:57,967
-[speaks French]
-[person 1 speaks French]
343
00:19:58,102 --> 00:19:59,037
[speaks French]
344
00:19:59,172 --> 00:20:00,273
[in English]
Before my heat,
345
00:20:00,408 --> 00:20:03,871
I'll go to bed imagining
how to ride the wave.
346
00:20:04,007 --> 00:20:06,239
I can, like, close my eyes
and see it and feel it.
347
00:20:06,375 --> 00:20:09,345
Feel the flow and feel
the whole thing to where
I'll make a mistake,
348
00:20:09,481 --> 00:20:10,746
and I'll go back
and start over,
349
00:20:10,881 --> 00:20:12,875
and I'll re-ride
the wave again
and do it right,
350
00:20:13,011 --> 00:20:15,179
so that the situations
come up,
351
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:17,213
I already know how to react
without thinking.
352
00:20:19,726 --> 00:20:21,753
So it's really just practice
without physically doing it.
353
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:22,995
-Good luck.
-Good luck.
354
00:20:23,130 --> 00:20:24,423
[Slater]
But I do that a lot.
355
00:20:24,558 --> 00:20:25,562
Hey, what's up?
356
00:20:26,863 --> 00:20:28,796
Oh, good luck in your game.
Where's it at?
357
00:20:28,931 --> 00:20:30,729
-And good luck in your heat.
-[Slater] Thank you.
358
00:20:30,865 --> 00:20:32,228
[supporter]
Good luck today, Kelly.
359
00:20:33,540 --> 00:20:35,772
[Bell] Multiple years,
when he was in the peak,
360
00:20:35,907 --> 00:20:38,940
it would be four events
before the end of the year.
361
00:20:39,076 --> 00:20:41,374
We'd calculated it out,
how many heats he's gotta win,
362
00:20:41,509 --> 00:20:46,011
and he'd say to me,
"I've got to get
16 more waves."
363
00:20:47,014 --> 00:20:48,486
And I'd go,
"What do you mean?"
364
00:20:48,621 --> 00:20:50,353
And he'd go, "Well,
I need this many points
365
00:20:50,488 --> 00:20:51,585
and I've won
the World Title."
366
00:20:51,721 --> 00:20:55,285
I said,
"Where does that come from?"
367
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:58,562
That forward thinking,
only certain people have.
368
00:21:00,596 --> 00:21:03,369
[crowd cheering, clapping]
369
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,167
[Slater] I get so obsessive.
370
00:21:06,302 --> 00:21:09,468
For each guy, I know
every point, what their
average wave scores are.
371
00:21:09,603 --> 00:21:14,578
I have heat sheets
from everybody, so I know on
paper what needs to be done.
372
00:21:16,176 --> 00:21:17,613
Kanoa's beaten me
a couple times,
373
00:21:17,749 --> 00:21:19,142
so I'm gonna
wanna kick his ass.
374
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,651
-[crowd cheering]
-[supporter] Kelly.
375
00:21:23,223 --> 00:21:25,391
[crowd cheering, clapping]
376
00:21:25,527 --> 00:21:28,185
[Williams] All right.
Kelly Slater has checked in.
377
00:21:32,794 --> 00:21:34,862
[Cote]
Kanoa Igarashi on the board.
378
00:21:36,196 --> 00:21:38,771
Beautiful backdoor,
quick takeoff.
379
00:21:38,906 --> 00:21:41,435
[Williams] This is
a nice start for Kanoa,
but he didn't stay
380
00:21:41,571 --> 00:21:42,832
in the barrel for too long.
381
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:44,300
This will be a small score.
382
00:21:47,774 --> 00:21:50,806
[Williams] You gotta
get in the barrel, behind
the curtain to get rewarded.
383
00:21:50,941 --> 00:21:55,278
So, uh, that's going to keep
the score a touch low.
Under two points.
384
00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:59,320
[Cote] Here we go.
The GOAT, Kelly Slater.
385
00:21:59,456 --> 00:22:01,860
[chuckles] Textbook.
386
00:22:01,995 --> 00:22:04,353
[Williams]
Kelly is out there
ready for revenge.
387
00:22:04,489 --> 00:22:06,465
He's got his eyes
on the prize.
388
00:22:08,335 --> 00:22:10,765
[Cote] Kelly Slater again.
389
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:14,702
[Williams] Just absolute
criminal intent in every
wave he's taking off on.
390
00:22:14,838 --> 00:22:17,041
-[Miller] Whoo!
-[friend 1] Whoo!
391
00:22:17,176 --> 00:22:19,902
[Cote] It's pretty clear
that Kelly Slater
means business.
392
00:22:20,037 --> 00:22:23,340
-The revenge
is coming in so hot.
-[Williams chuckles] Yeah.
393
00:22:23,475 --> 00:22:25,383
[Cote] He's really been
just laser focused.
394
00:22:25,518 --> 00:22:27,948
- I don't think
he's looked at Kanoa once.
-[Williams] Yeah.
395
00:22:29,484 --> 00:22:31,386
[Slater] When you're
really in the flow,
you don't think.
396
00:22:31,522 --> 00:22:34,317
You just sort of black out,
and like, "I'm just
going with it."
397
00:22:37,059 --> 00:22:39,364
If it's all just
completely flowing perfectly
398
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,799
and you're not
questioning anything,
399
00:22:41,935 --> 00:22:45,161
these weird things
will just happen
where you're so free,
400
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:46,934
you're not worrying
about anything.
401
00:22:49,071 --> 00:22:51,037
[Whitaker] That might be
the heat right there.
402
00:22:53,380 --> 00:22:54,541
[Williams]
Kelly is a magician.
403
00:22:54,677 --> 00:22:56,611
A wave never slides under him.
404
00:22:56,747 --> 00:23:00,409
You know, he really
capitalizes and Kanoa is
a crafty competitor, uh,
405
00:23:00,544 --> 00:23:02,653
but Kelly kind of made
that heat look easy.
406
00:23:03,621 --> 00:23:05,051
[Igarashi]
I got completely smoked.
407
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:08,223
That part's
a hard pill to swallow.
408
00:23:08,358 --> 00:23:12,058
I was getting so frustrated,
and I lost my grit,
and I lost my drive.
409
00:23:13,562 --> 00:23:14,698
He-- He got me there.
410
00:23:17,103 --> 00:23:18,628
[cheering]
411
00:23:18,763 --> 00:23:20,770
[Bell]
412
00:23:31,453 --> 00:23:33,952
-[supporter 1] Kelly, look back.
-[Bell]
413
00:23:34,088 --> 00:23:36,848
-[supporter 1] Look back, Kelly.
-[Slater] We do it
while we walk, okay?
414
00:23:36,983 --> 00:23:38,183
[child 3] Kelly, over here.
415
00:23:41,354 --> 00:23:43,562
-[cheering, whistling]
-Kelly Slater.
416
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,002
[Williams] The next swell
direction, a little bit of
north wind to the west.
417
00:23:53,138 --> 00:23:54,940
[Hodge]
Four head-to-head matchups
with Kanoa.
418
00:23:55,075 --> 00:23:57,433
That's the first time
that you've been able
to overcome him.
419
00:23:58,209 --> 00:23:59,105
I know.
420
00:24:00,274 --> 00:24:01,773
[Slater] I wasn't
gonna take him lightly,
421
00:24:01,908 --> 00:24:03,310
but I was really focused.
422
00:24:03,446 --> 00:24:04,884
I almost threw up
before the heat
'cause I was so excited.
423
00:24:05,019 --> 00:24:06,112
[Hodge laughs]
424
00:24:06,247 --> 00:24:08,147
I get this, like, crazy
adrenaline dump sometimes,
425
00:24:08,283 --> 00:24:10,786
but, uh, I just wanna say hi
to my daughter, Taylor,
426
00:24:10,921 --> 00:24:12,817
and my family back home,
everybody watching.
427
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:15,385
Um, and, yeah, it was fun.
428
00:24:16,086 --> 00:24:17,255
Thanks for your time.
429
00:24:18,730 --> 00:24:20,126
[Kennedy]
What drives Kelly?
430
00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:24,597
He wants to still compete
with the top guys.
431
00:24:24,732 --> 00:24:27,567
-[Slater]
All right. Thanks, guys.
-[supporter] Ten minutes.
432
00:24:27,702 --> 00:24:30,003
[Kennedy]
And he thrives on the fact
that he can challenge them
433
00:24:30,138 --> 00:24:32,270
despite being
20 years their senior.
434
00:24:33,172 --> 00:24:35,004
-Okay.
-[supporter] Hello.
435
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:37,946
[Kennedy] But he's conscious
of where he could be made
to look irrelevant.
436
00:24:39,815 --> 00:24:44,986
The last time
Kelly won at Pipe was 2013,
so that's almost a decade.
437
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:48,957
Some people's sporting careers
only last a decade.
438
00:24:50,727 --> 00:24:52,730
Can he win an event at 50?
439
00:24:53,662 --> 00:24:54,666
It's a big ask.
440
00:25:00,506 --> 00:25:04,940
[Slater] I know that I'm not
the number one expectation
at every event anymore.
441
00:25:06,173 --> 00:25:08,175
I feel,
I don't want to say tense,
442
00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:10,407
but I feel like maybe
there's a little self-doubt,
443
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:12,550
but I think at this point
444
00:25:12,686 --> 00:25:15,552
I owe myself to not
be scared of losing,
445
00:25:15,687 --> 00:25:17,414
to not be scared of
the other guy.
446
00:25:19,157 --> 00:25:21,718
For me, it's really important
to do really well here,
447
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:25,026
to prove I can beat
anyone on this tour,
on any given day still.
448
00:25:31,229 --> 00:25:33,232
[crowd cheering, whistling]
449
00:25:38,309 --> 00:25:41,512
[Cote]
It was a long and winding road
leading into this final.
450
00:25:41,647 --> 00:25:42,846
[Williams] It's endurance.
451
00:25:46,811 --> 00:25:48,746
[Slater] You know,
it's hard to get back out.
452
00:25:48,882 --> 00:25:52,014
When I was younger,
it was a race and--
and now it's a marathon.
453
00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:53,685
[supporter] Whoo-hoo!
454
00:25:53,820 --> 00:25:55,452
[commentator]
455
00:25:58,524 --> 00:26:03,461
[Cote] Seth Moniz has been
a man on fire, dispatching
last year's champion,
456
00:26:03,597 --> 00:26:06,365
John John Florence,
in the quarterfinals.
457
00:26:06,501 --> 00:26:08,498
And if he can beat John,
he can beat Kelly.
458
00:26:10,673 --> 00:26:12,471
[Williams]
Gonna be a big challenge
for Kelly Slater.
459
00:26:12,607 --> 00:26:15,480
[Cote] Seth literally
half Kelly Slater's age.
460
00:26:15,615 --> 00:26:19,377
Pretty sure he's surfed
against Seth Moniz's father
back in the day.
461
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:26,692
[crowd cheering]
462
00:26:31,363 --> 00:26:32,522
Whoo-hoo!
463
00:26:34,693 --> 00:26:39,029
[Cote] Pipeline warriors
entering the colosseum.
464
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:42,841
-It's Kelly Slater
verse Seth Moniz.
-[crowd cheering]
465
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:48,208
[commentator] Five. Four.
Three. Two. One.
466
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:51,147
[horn honking]
467
00:26:51,283 --> 00:26:53,379
[Cote] Who will catch
the first wave
of this final?
468
00:26:55,083 --> 00:26:58,381
-[crowd] Ooh.
-[Cote] It's gonna be
Kelly Slater dropping in.
469
00:26:58,517 --> 00:27:00,385
Going backdoor,
under the hook.
470
00:27:01,053 --> 00:27:02,486
Almost escapes.
471
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,323
Guillotine clamps down
on his shoulders.
472
00:27:05,961 --> 00:27:07,498
Here we go. Seth Moniz.
473
00:27:07,633 --> 00:27:10,131
Can he come out? He cannot.
474
00:27:11,898 --> 00:27:13,871
[crowd] Ah.
475
00:27:16,608 --> 00:27:19,972
[Cote] And there he is,
Kelly Slater. He might have
a clean line outta this.
476
00:27:20,108 --> 00:27:21,439
[supporter 1] Oh, he's on it!
477
00:27:23,143 --> 00:27:26,482
[Cote] Back-to-back
unsuccessful attempts
for Kelly Slater.
478
00:27:26,617 --> 00:27:29,887
[Williams] Every wipeout,
it just ticks away
a little bit at the battery.
479
00:27:33,157 --> 00:27:36,424
[Cote] Seth Moniz
into a wild unruly barrel.
480
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,089
[crowd] Ooh!
481
00:27:38,224 --> 00:27:40,459
-Oh, my god. Ow.
-That hurt.
482
00:27:40,594 --> 00:27:42,328
[Williams] You really have
to rely on the adrenaline
483
00:27:42,464 --> 00:27:44,193
to get through
this next 35 minutes.
484
00:27:44,328 --> 00:27:46,904
[Cote] You can just
feel the pressure
starting to build.
485
00:27:48,673 --> 00:27:52,305
[Slater] When that pressure
gets in your head, you
almost forget the moment.
486
00:27:53,374 --> 00:27:54,775
You're thinking about
the big thing
487
00:27:54,911 --> 00:27:56,448
and not those little details.
488
00:27:56,583 --> 00:27:57,816
And that can hold you back.
489
00:27:58,684 --> 00:28:00,050
For me, it's telling me,
490
00:28:00,185 --> 00:28:02,688
"Just come back
and focus on what's simple
491
00:28:02,824 --> 00:28:04,690
and right here in front of you
in the moment."
492
00:28:04,826 --> 00:28:06,451
And once you do that,
you'll get the win.
493
00:28:09,927 --> 00:28:13,898
[Cote] Kelly Slater
driving super deep
behind another chandelier!
494
00:28:14,033 --> 00:28:15,933
-And he comes out!
-[crowd cheering]
495
00:28:17,502 --> 00:28:20,333
[commentator]
496
00:28:21,602 --> 00:28:23,699
[Williams] So Kelly,
the first real punch landed.
497
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,471
He's in the barrel, traveling.
498
00:28:28,607 --> 00:28:30,381
-Watch out. Where is--
-[Miller] Go!
499
00:28:30,516 --> 00:28:34,844
- Kelly--
-[Cote] Wow.
So just being relentless.
500
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:36,745
[Wasilewski]
He's looking
the most aggressive
501
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,224
and the sharpest
I've ever seen competitively.
502
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,091
Looks like a young buck
and he looks like
he wants to win.
503
00:28:44,023 --> 00:28:46,096
[Cote]
And here goes Seth Moniz,
answering back.
504
00:28:46,232 --> 00:28:49,428
Yanking on that outside rail.
Cruising in nice and tight.
505
00:28:50,833 --> 00:28:52,369
And just--
506
00:28:52,504 --> 00:28:53,764
[crowd] Oh!
507
00:28:53,899 --> 00:28:55,739
[Cote] Board ripped
from underneath his feet.
508
00:28:55,874 --> 00:28:57,870
-Oh! Ah.
-[crowd clapping]
509
00:28:58,005 --> 00:29:01,308
[Cote]
This is a fourth wipeout
in a row for Seth Moniz
510
00:29:01,443 --> 00:29:03,282
and that has to be
taking its toll.
511
00:29:03,417 --> 00:29:05,913
Momentum is all
with Kelly Slater
at this point.
512
00:29:06,049 --> 00:29:07,182
And he's at it again.
513
00:29:08,882 --> 00:29:12,055
-[crowd] Oh!
-[Cote] Late drop
straight into the pit.
514
00:29:21,764 --> 00:29:24,397
[Slater] When you get
a barrel, it feels like
something so natural.
515
00:29:28,375 --> 00:29:32,768
It's like this
sacred place in nature
and it all makes sense.
516
00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:39,576
[Cote] He's coming out.
517
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:42,251
-[crowd cheering]
-[Hodge chuckles]
518
00:29:42,387 --> 00:29:44,956
[Slater] It feels like what
you were meant to do in life.
519
00:29:48,786 --> 00:29:50,753
[Williams]
Kelly is in his own universe.
520
00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:54,460
[supporter] Oh, my God.
That is fucked up.
521
00:29:54,595 --> 00:29:55,925
[commentator]
We're down to ten,
522
00:29:56,061 --> 00:29:58,262
-[commentator] nine, eight...
-[Williams] This is crazy.
523
00:29:58,397 --> 00:30:00,131
- And he's about
to make history here.
- ...seven, six,
524
00:30:00,267 --> 00:30:05,601
five, four, three, two, one.
525
00:30:05,737 --> 00:30:07,609
[Guerrero]
Kelly Slater is a champion!
526
00:30:07,744 --> 00:30:09,739
[crowd cheering]
527
00:30:11,046 --> 00:30:12,582
[Cote] Kelly Slater,
528
00:30:12,717 --> 00:30:18,418
a huge victory
at the Billabong
Pro Pipeline 2022.
529
00:30:19,485 --> 00:30:21,119
He's on the top of his game.
530
00:30:21,255 --> 00:30:23,423
Kelly Slater is back.
531
00:30:24,959 --> 00:30:27,097
[commentator]
532
00:30:30,327 --> 00:30:32,201
[crowd cheering]
533
00:30:50,151 --> 00:30:52,958
[Slater]
It's fun when you win, man.
It's so addictive.
534
00:30:54,126 --> 00:30:55,960
Can't really
explain it to somebody.
535
00:30:56,096 --> 00:30:58,290
You-- You have to
experience it to understand.
536
00:30:58,425 --> 00:31:02,699
It's every cell inside
your body, like, tingling
to achieve this thing
537
00:31:02,835 --> 00:31:05,827
and then when you do,
it's just--
there's no better release.
538
00:31:05,963 --> 00:31:07,907
-There's no better feeling.
-Yeah!
539
00:31:09,208 --> 00:31:11,139
[Slater] When you put in
that work and effort,
540
00:31:11,275 --> 00:31:15,672
and you've put in all
those years of your life,
and then you're successful.
541
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:19,184
That's what makes winning
so satisfying and that's
what makes it so addictive.
542
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,848
-[commentator]
Yes, Kelly! You did it!
-[crowd cheering]
543
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:27,520
[Guerrero]
Eight times, four decades.
Soak it in, my man.
544
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,853
This is sport history.
545
00:31:33,495 --> 00:31:36,133
[sighs] I don't know
what to say, man.
546
00:31:38,005 --> 00:31:40,170
I committed my life
to-- to this, you know?
547
00:31:41,539 --> 00:31:44,200
To all of this.
All the heartbreak
and all the winning,
548
00:31:44,336 --> 00:31:45,907
and all this crap.
549
00:31:46,042 --> 00:31:47,573
[stammers] It's, uh--
550
00:31:49,180 --> 00:31:50,510
You know,
I've hated lots of it,
551
00:31:51,946 --> 00:31:55,781
but I just savor this,
and this is the best win
in my life.
552
00:31:55,916 --> 00:32:01,554
[crowd chanting]
Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!
Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!
553
00:32:10,162 --> 00:32:12,261
-[Slater] COVID's weak.
-[supporter 1] COVID...
[chuckles]
554
00:32:12,396 --> 00:32:14,699
[mouthing] Man.
555
00:32:21,373 --> 00:32:23,510
Are you speechless?
556
00:32:23,645 --> 00:32:25,908
I heard you say you can't
believe it. [laughs]
557
00:32:28,048 --> 00:32:29,714
[cheering]
558
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:36,727
[Guerrero]
He won his first title
here in 1992.
559
00:32:36,863 --> 00:32:38,855
[crowd cheering, clapping]
560
00:32:41,267 --> 00:32:44,297
[Guerrero]
An eight-time champ
here at Pipe.
561
00:32:44,433 --> 00:32:47,631
Bring on the 2022
Pipeline champion,
562
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:50,400
the legendary,
the GOAT, Kelly Slater!
563
00:32:50,536 --> 00:32:52,539
[crowd cheering, clapping]
564
00:32:59,476 --> 00:33:01,945
[Slater]
There was a-- an opportunity
that I've had in my life
565
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,486
to become great at something
and I learned how to do it.
566
00:33:07,490 --> 00:33:09,622
-[friend] Oh, yeah.
-[all cheering]
567
00:33:10,825 --> 00:33:12,429
[Slater] It's been such--
everything to me.
568
00:33:12,565 --> 00:33:15,190
My career, my surfing, my--
this world, all my friends,
569
00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:17,634
like, just everything
that's happened in my life.
570
00:33:17,770 --> 00:33:18,829
[all laughing]
571
00:33:21,136 --> 00:33:22,899
[Miller chuckling]
572
00:33:25,045 --> 00:33:26,639
[Slater] If I can win
at Pipeline...
573
00:33:27,639 --> 00:33:28,705
[Bell]
I got a beer for you.
574
00:33:28,841 --> 00:33:30,511
[Slater] ...maybe
I can win a World Title.
575
00:33:38,691 --> 00:33:39,718
Here we go.
576
00:33:42,393 --> 00:33:44,657
[Slater] It's been eight years.
Come on.
577
00:33:45,625 --> 00:33:47,330
Got the right size
and everything.
578
00:33:48,132 --> 00:33:49,794
You look nice in that color.
579
00:33:50,594 --> 00:33:51,697
[friend chuckles]
580
00:33:53,339 --> 00:33:54,701
[Guerrero]
Here goes Carissa Moore.
581
00:33:54,837 --> 00:33:57,367
[Cote] Gets in the barrel
and she comes out!
582
00:33:57,502 --> 00:33:59,542
[Weston-Webb] Carissa
is the best female surfer
in the world,
583
00:33:59,678 --> 00:34:03,010
and in order
to win the World Title,
you have to beat her.
584
00:34:03,145 --> 00:34:04,374
Swell is picking up.
585
00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:05,779
[Cote] Carissa Moore,
586
00:34:05,914 --> 00:34:08,952
Olympic gold medalist,
five-time World Champ.
587
00:34:09,088 --> 00:34:10,186
What hasn't she done?
588
00:34:10,322 --> 00:34:11,822
[Moore] Any time
I come up against Tati,
589
00:34:11,958 --> 00:34:13,191
I have to bring my A game.
590
00:34:14,023 --> 00:34:15,521
[Williams]
591
00:34:15,656 --> 00:34:18,058
I know, I saw that.
I saw everything.
592
00:34:18,193 --> 00:34:19,594
[judge groans] Ouch.
593
00:34:19,729 --> 00:34:21,196
[safety announcer]
Medical, the nearest team.
594
00:34:21,331 --> 00:34:22,829
[Hughes]
Her career is at stake.
595
00:34:22,965 --> 00:34:24,633
[Weston-Webb] I just feel
like the pressure's on,
596
00:34:24,769 --> 00:34:27,162
'cause you need
to have those results
to make the cut.
597
00:34:27,298 --> 00:34:30,736
[Guerrero] Tatiana Weston-Webb
pulls into the barrel...
