Epic Surf Talk with Lisa Andersen and Kelly Slater
Lisa: Hey Kelly! Long time no see. How’s it going? Catch any good waves lately?
Kelly: Lisa, great to see you! You know it, always chasing that next perfect wave. Just got back from Fiji—those barrels were insane!
Lisa: Fiji, huh? Lucky you. I’ve been hitting the California coast more lately. There’s something about those Pacific waves that still get my heart racing after all these years.
Kelly: Totally get that. You’re like the queen of California waves. Speaking of which, can you believe it’s been over two decades since we both started competing professionally?
Lisa: Crazy, right? Time flies when you’re having fun—and catching waves. It’s amazing to see how the sport has evolved. Remember our first competitions? The vibe was so different!
Kelly: Oh, absolutely! Back then, it felt like the wild west of surfing. But hey, look at what you did for women’s surfing. You really blazed a trail, Lisa.
Lisa: Well, someone had to show the boys that girls could surf just as well! But seriously, it’s been incredible to watch the next generation. The talent out there is mind-blowing. Have you seen some of these young surfers?
Kelly: Yeah, they’re unreal. Like, where do they get those skills at such a young age? And it’s not just the skills—they’ve got this uncanny wave sense, too. Makes me want to step up my game even more!
Lisa: Same here. It’s like they’ve redefined what’s possible on a board. I remember when a solid aerial was a game-changer; now it’s like, “That’s just Tuesday.”
Kelly: Exactly. And the technology has changed so much as well. Board designs are getting wilder, wetsuits are super flexible. I even saw a drone following a surfer the other day for real-time analysis. Wild stuff!
Lisa: It’s awesome to see. But sometimes, I miss the simplicity of the old days. Just you, your board, and the ocean. No gadgets, no frills.
Kelly: Totally feel you on that. But hey, at least we got to experience both worlds. That’s something to cherish.
Lisa: Absolutely. Here’s to more adventures, more waves, and more epic stories. Catch you out there soon?
Kelly: Definitely. Let’s make it happen. Stay stoked, Lisa!
Lisa: Always. Later, Kelly!
