A Quote by Kelly Slater

I've always thought surfing is a reflection of who you are. — © Kelly Slater
I've always thought surfing is a reflection of who you are.
I always thought it was a trap to fit into ideologies, and maybe that's a luxury position, but my work is a reflection of my being here. My being here is not a reflection of an idea.
I don't know how long I'll be competing, but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.
I don't know how long I'll be competing but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.
I've been asked to do surfing movies over the years and offered several opportunities. I just felt that if I were to do one, I'd have to do the perfect surfing movie. And I don't know if that exists because surfing is such a personal thing.
Portraits I've done in the past I've always thought were a reflection of me.
Surfing and music have always been two completely separate things in my life, and a lot of people, especially in the UK, don't really get surfing very much. They think it's the Californian dream. They're like, "Oh, so you're a surfer and you're this and that," and it's like, I go surfing because I like the outdoors. In England it's freezing cold, and it's usually dark and raining and it's the middle of winter, and you do it because it's invigorating. It's like going on a walk in some remote place on the planet. It's really - it's not very glamorous.
One thing you learn from surfing is how to operate in the present. It's really what the surfing experience is all about.
The best version of surfing is not competing, I think. It's just... it's perfect. You're perfectly present. You're perfectly in the moment. You're perfectly not thinking about anything else in the world. You're just surfing. You're surfing away with your friends or your family, and that's it. You're just there.
I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.
They call it 'surfing' the net. It's not surfing. It's typing in your bedroom
It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too.
All I care about, to be honest, is surfing. I love surfing more than anything. To me, there's nothing like that.
Surfing frees everything up. It's just the best soul fix. Life should be stress free, and that's what surfing is all about.
It's the way surfing is - you grow up surfing together, and then you're thrown into a heat at Pipe or a world title bout against one another.
I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing - I think it would give me that extra confidence.
It's for 'Haasil' that finally I got to do a lot of water surfing. Kabir Raichand, my character performs surfing and to do it accurately, I had undergone a crash course in Mauritius.
