Malia Manuel Chats Waves and Wellness with Kelly Slater
Malia Manuel: Hey Kelly! It’s always a blast catching up with you. How’s everything going?
Kelly Slater: Malia! I’m doing great, thanks. Just finished a session at Pipeline. The waves were pumping! How about you?
Malia Manuel: That sounds epic! I’ve been loving the surf here in Kauai. The water feels so healing; it’s my little slice of paradise.
Kelly Slater: Kauai, huh? That’s one of my favorite spots. You’ve practically got it made with those warm waters and consistent waves. How do you balance your surf schedule with everything else you do?
Malia Manuel: It’s definitely a balancing act! Between competitions, training, and my wellness routines, it’s a full plate. But honestly, maintaining that balance keeps me grounded. How do you keep it all together?
Kelly Slater: Well, I’ve got my routines too. Surfing’s been my life for decades now, so it’s all about keeping the body in tune. Yoga, diet, meditation – gotta keep the mind and body in sync. Speaking of balance, I hear you’ve been delving into some wellness practices yourself?
Malia Manuel: Absolutely. Yoga has been a game-changer for me. It really helps with my flexibility and mental clarity. Lately, I’ve also been trying out breathwork and it’s incredible how it enhances my surfing. Ever tried?
Kelly Slater: Oh, definitely. Breathwork is amazing, especially for those hold-downs. Helps keep the panic at bay. I think surfing and wellness go hand-in-hand. The ocean teaches us so much about patience and resilience.
Malia Manuel: Couldn’t agree more. And speaking of the ocean, I know both of us are passionate about ocean conservation. It’s crucial to protect the very playground we love so much.
Kelly Slater: Yes! It’s something close to my heart. Fighting against plastic pollution and promoting sustainable practices are key. We have a platform, and I believe it’s our duty to use it for good.
Malia Manuel: For sure. I’ve been working with a few organizations to help spread awareness. Every little bit helps, right? Imagine if every surfer picked up just a couple of pieces of trash from the beach—huge impact!
Kelly Slater: That’s the spirit. Small actions lead to big changes. Besides, what’s better than leaving the beach cleaner than we found it? It ensures our home breaks stay beautiful for generations to come.
Malia Manuel: Totally. Well, it’s been awesome chatting, Kelly. Keep shredding, and let’s catch a session together soon!
Kelly Slater: Sounds like a plan, Malia. Stay stoked and see you in the lineup!
