Kelly Slater has a bit of a relationship with Teahupo’o. He’s won five events there throughout the years. It’s a place that has, in the past, been prone to serving him up what he needs exactly when he needs it. But in this episode of Kelly Slater: Lost Tapes, we see Slater struggle to find success there. Even still, it’s not just the wave that Kelly loves. It’s the people, the perfect setting, and the overall vibe of Tahiti. Even when he doesn’t win the contest, he still loves to be there — which is saying a lot for a man who loves to win more than most people.
Kelly Slater: Lost Tapes is an interesting look at what Kelly’s life is like behind the scenes. The series follows him through a year on tour — through each contest and each place. It shows what his life is like on a daily basis; how he deals with pressure, what he does in his down time, and what it takes to be the GOAT.
