Big Waves and Bold Lives: A Chat with Carlos Burle and Kelly Slater

Carlos Burle: Hey Kelly! It’s great to catch up, man. How have you been riding these days?

Kelly Slater: Carlos, my friend! Always good to see you. I’ve been riding life’s waves just as much as the ocean’s. What about you? Breaking any new records lately?

Carlos Burle: Haha, no records recently, but the thrill is still there every time I hit those monster waves. There’s nothing like standing on the edge of an 80-foot behemoth. Speaking of which, have you ridden Nazaré yet?

Kelly Slater: Oh, Nazaré! That’s a beast of a place. I’ve had my share of rides there, but it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s like the ocean’s screaming at you, “Are you ready for this?” So tell me, what’s the secret to tackling those giants?

Carlos Burle: The secret? Haha, well, it’s a mix of preparation, respect for the ocean, and a bit of craziness, to be honest. You know, guts over glory. And you? Any secret strategies you deploy when waves get fierce?

Kelly Slater: For me, it’s about staying calm under pressure. The wave might be 60 feet high, but if you keep your cool and remember your training, that’s half the battle won. Also, a touch of zen doesn’t hurt, right?

Carlos Burle: Absolutely! Mental stamina is just as important as physical. And speaking of zen, you’ve always been someone who balances competitive spirit with deep introspection. How do you find that balance, especially in those championship moments?

Kelly Slater: It’s definitely a balance game. I try to live in the moment, focus on my breathing, and just be one with the wave. Sounds cliché, but it works! How about you, Carlos? Between family and surfing, how do you keep it all together?

Carlos Burle: Family is my anchor, for sure. They ground me when things get intense out there. Plus, teaching my kids to surf is a joy in itself. Passing on the love for the ocean to the next generation keeps me stoked. Have you been doing any mentoring yourself?

Kelly Slater: Definitely. Working with younger surfers is incredible. It’s like seeing the spark that we had when we were starting out. So, Carlos, any advice for those groms dreaming of tackling those towering waves?

Carlos Burle: Start small, respect the ocean, and never lose that sense of wonder. If you combine heart with skill, you’ll go far. And Kelly, any parting words of wisdom for the fans out there?

Kelly Slater: Ride every wave like it’s your last. Embrace the wipeouts because they’re part of the journey. And always, always stay inspired. Catch you in the surf, Carlos!

Carlos Burle: You got it, Kelly. See you out there, brother!

And that’s a wrap on an illuminating and casual chat between two titans of the surfing world.
