Riding the Waves with Ezekiel Lau: A Casual Chat with Kelly Slater
Kelly Slater: Hey Zeke! Long time no see, brother. Last time I checked, you were killing it in the WSL. How’s life been treating you?
Ezekiel Lau: Kelly! It’s always a pleasure, man. Yeah, I’ve been busy, but no complaints. Been chasing some massive waves and staying sharp. How about you? Still getting out there and showing us young guns how it’s done?
Kelly Slater: Haha, you know I can’t stay away from the ocean for too long. But I’ve also been focusing on some environmental initiatives. It’s all about protecting our surf spots for the next generations, right?
Ezekiel Lau: Absolutely. It’s crucial. Speaking of which, I saw that documentary about your sustainable surfboard company. Really inspiring stuff, man. Any tips for a guy looking to give back while riding the waves?
Kelly Slater: Thanks, Zeke. It’s all about balance – just like surfing. You stay conscious of your impact and leverage your platform to raise awareness. Also, work with brands that share the same ethos. You’d be surprised how many people are willing to help out.
Ezekiel Lau: Good call. I’ve been thinking of starting a community program for kids in Hawaii. Get them surfing early and teach them about respecting the ocean.
Kelly Slater: That sounds amazing! Getting the keiki out on the water is so important. Healthy lifestyle, respect for nature, and a sense of community – that’s what it’s all about.
Ezekiel Lau: Exactly! And hey, maybe you can come down and we can have a little friendly competition. The kids would love to see a living legend in action.
Kelly Slater: Challenge accepted! Just don’t be too upset when I snag a few barrels from you.
Ezekiel Lau: Haha, bring it on, Kelly. It’s not every day you get to surf with the GOAT. Plus, I might pick up a few tricks from you.
Kelly Slater: Looking forward to it, Zeke. Let’s make some waves and some memories.
Ezekiel Lau: For sure! Thanks for the chat, Kelly. Let’s catch up soon and make this happen!
Kelly Slater: Anytime, brother. Keep shredding, and see you out there!
The conversation ends with both surfers stoked about future collaborations, blending their passions for surfing and environmentalism while inspiring the next generation.
