Why Kelly Slater Doesn’t Surf Like Everyone Else

What is Kelly Slater really doing before a heat? Most surfers watch Kelly’s surfing. Very few watch what he’s actually paying attention to. In this video, I break down a subtle habit Kelly Slater uses at Jeffreys Bay and explain why it helps him surf better than almost everyone else. It’s not about doing the biggest turns or surfing as hard as possible. It’s about understanding the wave, finding rhythm, gathering information, and preparing for what’s coming next. This is a lesson every surfer can apply to their own surfing. 🌊 Surf coaching & video analysis: www.fixmywave.com 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @shannonainslie 📺 Subscribe for more surf coaching, tutorials, POV surfing, and wave reading tips. 📖 Book: https://www.amazon.com/Child-Wild-Coa...
