Catching Waves and Talking Life: Frederico Morais Chats with Kelly Slater
Kelly Slater: Hey Frederico! It’s great to finally catch up. How’s the surf been treating you?
Frederico Morais: Hey Kelly! Yeah, it’s been a ride. Literally. Portugal’s been delivering some solid swells. How about you?
Kelly Slater: Oh, you know, still trying to keep up with you young guns! I’ve been getting some good sessions in Hawaii. Nothing beats Pipeline, right?
Frederico Morais: Pipeline is legendary. The North Shore is like an arena where you either shine or get humbled real quick. So, what keeps you stoked after all these years?
Kelly Slater: Honestly, it’s the love for the ocean and the chase for that perfect wave. But seeing the new talent, like yourself, pushes me to stay in the game. Speaking of which, what’s your favorite wave?
Frederico Morais: That’s tough, man. Supertubos in Peniche holds a special place in my heart. It’s powerful and when it’s on, it’s a barrel fest. But I’ve got to ask, how do you manage to keep such a high level of performance year after year?
Kelly Slater: It’s a mix of physical training, mental focus, and a bit of stubbornness, I guess! And a massive appetite for learning. What about you? How do you prep for competitions?
Frederico Morais: For me, it’s a balance of good nutrition, staying fit, and spending loads of time in the water. Also, having a solid support team makes a huge difference. Speaking of support, any advice for upcoming surfers looking to break through?
Kelly Slater: Stay true to your passion and be patient. The surf world can be tough, but if you love what you do, it never feels like work. Always be open to learning, and most importantly, have fun out there.
Frederico Morais: Wise words, Kelly. Thanks for the chat, and see you out in the water!
Kelly Slater: Anytime, Frederico. Keep ripping those waves!
