Kelly Slater on his dream job

In the 2018 episode of Joe Rogan Experience, upon being questioned if he saw himself becoming a commentator, Slater explained, ?Maybe a little bit yeah? but I don?t really want a job.? The athlete continued, ?When I retire, you know, look, I?ve been on pro-tour pretty much since I was 19 and 46. I took about three years off, but I still competed a little bit on those years.?

Slater is 50 years old today and is nearing the age of his retirement. He explains in his interview how he is the oldest guy to ever compete. Additionally, when he joined the sport and started touring, the oldest guy was as young as 28 years old. ?I would say in the 80s?you could make the money if you were the top 5 guy, but it didn?t look like you could have like this crazy career. So guys weren?t thinking longevity, they were like, let?s go and have a freaking good time?? Slater explained to Joe Rogan.
