Watch: Kelly Slater riding pillion at Padang Padang

One session, four party waves. The jokes about Kelly willingly flouting social distance rules are too easy, even for a hack like me, so I won't even mention them here.

1/4 of Australians can’t even leave a 5km bubble

Koby spruking how he can 'help a mate out' and obtain Visa's for $2K to enter Indo...

saltman Monday, 14 Sep 2020 at 08:51 am new

Apparently you can purchase yourself a “business visa” just like the GOAT did

Thank God someone has some freedom to move!
Always spreading the aloha -Kelly's a pleasure to surf with.

Looks like the indos have taken a leaf from the Cooly Kids scrapbook of snaking and lifted the bar ....
Don’t think the GOAT would of experienced that sort of shafting for decades

Textbook pigdogging ....a real inspiration to watch from a lockdown screen!

The bald one still can surf no surprise after watching him out pipe
last January. He was the best out there as well just had more grace,
poise made it look so easy and unfussed. Still dont like him.

Is Kelly working on a new WSL team format?

Walk around G Monday, 14 Sep 2020 at 05:14 pm new

Looked like the local crew may have been pulling rank? Hard to tell but sort of look like, sure you can have some waves Kelly but just because you're better at surffng than us, doesn't mean that we won't go when it's our turn....

It was Kelly and Rizal Tandjung.
They're mates.

Looked like everyone was having a good time to me and they were trying to set up double barrels.

Panman Monday, 14 Sep 2020 at 07:08 pm new

That was friggen unreal

Johan Wohlleben Monday, 14 Sep 2020 at 10:58 pm new

Sharing waves and positioning! Crossovers aren’t easy on any wave let alone at Padang. They make it look easy and they’re laughing, so good.

good to see goat got burned by locals on every wave :D

Maka, I've just edited your post. Try and get with times mate, it's 2020, casual racism went out with Menzies.

harrycoopr Tuesday, 15 Sep 2020 at 04:36 pm new

Sitar? Bali? Who's in charge here?

PeteWebb Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 08:06 pm new

@harrycoopr had to laugh at that along with all the comments from peeps saying how fitting the music is...yeah...if you're surfing in India.

Has there even been any other news in the world outside their insta stories?
Been loving the daily / hourly updates

Jono Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 11:27 am new

Have we just witnessed udo's first link??

bluediamond Tuesday, 15 Sep 2020 at 08:40 pm new

The King. So good to watch his approach. Those channel photos of the 'shared' barrels must look pretty sick.

Logical Tuesday, 15 Sep 2020 at 08:59 pm new

Kelly probbaly got into Bali really easily.

The KITAP is a permanent stay permit which allows the recipient to stay in Indonesia for 5 years at a time.

These holders are allowed in under COVID19.

I loved watching this clip- Kelly drops in, they drop in, everybody surfing amazing- and the water colour stole the show! BEST!

Spuddups Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 05:06 am new

If Kelly Slater paddled out at my home break I'd let him have any wave he wanted. To witness someone of his ability surfing our local waves to their full potential is unheard of round here. It would be great to see.

Can someone please get a vid of me sharing a wave with Kelly!!!
Will reward handsomely- not necessarily cash.

frog Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 06:53 am new

We should all drop in on Kelly every chance we get and then high five him at the end. He will be stoked as it clearly gets lonely at the top. Then post Instagram shots of us ripping together #sharewithGOAT

zenagain Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 11:00 am new

And in bigger news almost gone unnoticed-

Udo posted a link!

Bravo.

DudeSweetDudeSweet Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 11:23 am new

Good job , Udo.

batfink Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 11:47 am new

I’d like to see Kelly riding longer boards occasionally on waves of that size. He doesn’t need them, nobody does if you can catch the waves, just the more graceful flow of a longer board appeals to my senses, maybe a 6’4” or 6’6”.

I occasionally look at some older footage and the lines that are taken on a longer board are just more aesthetically pleasing, to my humble senses. And perhaps he could start another new longer board fad and cash in on that.

bluediamond Wednesday, 16 Sep 2020 at 12:26 pm new

Agreed! Slater on longer rails is a thing of beauty.
