Text Quotes
A wave isn’t like a skate ramp or mountain; everything’s moving around and you have to time how to move along with it. That’s easier with a slow wave.  (Kelly Slater Quotes) A lot of times I’ll see guys who are nowhere near the level of the board they’re riding. They might love surfing and love how it looks, but you really have to work your way up. It takes eating a little humble pie at first, and stepping back to equipment that might be a bit slow, but do it.  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I surf more now for other people than myself. I feel a lot of support from people wanting me to do well, and I feed off that. I can send a positive message to people from what I do.  (Kelly Slater Quotes) It’s a perfect wave when small and the most beautiful and scary wave on Earth when it’s big, as the swell from deep water hits the shallow reef ledge. A ten-foot high wave and a 30-footer break in the same depth of water.  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I’ve been in a poor physical shape many times in my career and I’ve had some of my best results. My best performances happened because my mind was in the right place. The mind is definitely stronger than the body.  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Big waves are a whole different ball game. You’re riding a wave with an immense amount of speed and power, generally over 10 meters. On the face of the wave, obviously life and death thoughts start to happen.  (Kelly Slater Quotes) For a surfer, it’s never-ending. There’s always some wave you want to surf  (Kelly Slater Quotes) There are so many different elements to surfing. Small waves, big waves, long boards, short boards. This makes it a sport you can share with people. It’s not just a solitary thing - it’s become a family thing, too. It’s about exercising and passing something on from father to son, and from mother to daughter  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I’ve always thought surfing is a reflection of who you are  (Kelly Slater Quotes) It’s all about where your mind’s at  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I still feel like my best surfing is ahead of me  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Surfing is my religion, if I have one  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Motivation is temporary. Inspiration is permanent  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I was stuck for 16 months without a win there, and now I’ve had five this year. Once you break that barrier for yourself it makes it easier; you’re not thinking about it... It opened up the floodgate for me  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Maintaining marriage seems to be tougher than fatherhood: apparently its the most difficult thing in the world  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I’ve been in a poor physical shape many times in my career and I’ve had some of my best results. My best performances happened because my mind was in the right place. The mind is definitely stronger than the body  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Fatherhood isn’t always a planned thing, but when it happens you just do it. It’s very natural and in that sense it’s not really difficult  (Kelly Slater Quotes) This was the most emotional title of my career. I was the youngest champion, and now I’m the oldest  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I didn’t think that wave was going to offer a ton,... But the wave just held form, and I was able to get a lot out of it  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Everything started coming into my head,... I was the youngest world champ and now I’m the oldest world champ; it’s been seven years since I won my last title and this is my seventh one... but all those numbers and things are not as important as the feeling  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Well I’m always working on constantly everything. I never take the approach that I’m doing as well as I possibly can... I always think there’s more and I think if you don’t have that, you are not driven to be better  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Not to sound too deep or weird, but I think that the times when you really appreciate surfing are the times you’re really sort of becoming one with nature. Surfing’s as raw of a sport as it gets  (Kelly Slater Quotes) I think when a surfer becomes a surfer, it’s almost like an obligation to be an environmentalist at the same time  (Kelly Slater Quotes) The joy of surfing is so many things combined, from the physical exertion of it, to the challenge of it, to the mental side of the sport  (Kelly Slater Quotes) Your surfing can get better on every turn, on every wave you catch. Learn to read the ocean better. A big part of my success has been wave knowledge  (Kelly Slater Quotes)
