Jamie O’Brien and Kelly Slater Dive Deep into Surfing’s Ultimate Experiences
Jamie O’Brien: Hey Kelly! Man, it’s awesome to catch up with you. I gotta ask, do you ever get bored of surfing the same old spots, or do you always find something new out there?
Kelly Slater: Jamie! Great to see you, man. You kidding? Even after decades, no two waves are the same. But yeah, I get the itch to explore new breaks. Keeps the stoke alive, you know?
Jamie O’Brien: Totally. I’ve been experimenting with everything from soft tops to shredding in barrels with a bodyboard just to mix it up. Keeps things interesting and the fans love it!
Kelly Slater: I’ve seen your videos, dude. You’re a madman! I love it. Speaking of which, what was going through your mind when you first surfed the Wedge on an inflatable whale? That was insane!
Jamie O’Brien: (Laughs) Man, honestly? Just pure adrenaline. Part of me thought I was nuts, but hey, it’s all about pushing boundaries, right? Plus, trying things like that keeps the surf culture fresh.
Kelly Slater: Absolutely. The sport’s evolving so quickly, it’s awesome. Now, you’ve done some epic stuff, but what’s one spot that’s still on your bucket list?
Jamie O’Brien: Ooh, tough one. I’ve hit most of my dream spots, but I think a surf trip to Skeleton Bay in Namibia would be killer. Those epic right-handers are calling my name!
Kelly Slater: Solid choice! That place looks magical. I’m all about those perfect, endless barrels now. It’s like chasing the ultimate Zen wave.
Jamie O’Brien: For sure. There’s nothing like getting slotted in a perfect wave. So, Kelly, with all the new tech and wave pools, where do you see the future of surfing going?
Kelly Slater: Great question. I think wave pools are bringing surfing to a whole new audience, which is fantastic. But nothing beats the ocean. I see a future where both coexist and push each other to new heights. What about you?
Jamie O’Brien: I’m with you. Wave pools are awesome for progression and training, but the unpredictability of the ocean is what keeps us coming back. The adventure is half the fun!
Kelly Slater: Well said, Jamie. Here’s to many more epic sessions and crazy adventures. Keep doing what you do, man. You’re inspiring a whole new generation of surfers.
Jamie O’Brien: Thanks, Kelly! Right back at ya. Let’s catch some waves together soon. Until then, stay stoked!
Kelly Slater: You got it, Jamie. Stay frothy!
