Eleven-time world champ Kelly Slater and eight-time world champ Kai Lenny are two surf legends.

Put them together on a podcast, and what do you get?

All-around awesome conversation and insight into all things surf-related, that's what.

The podcast above is available on Lenny's YouTube channel, and also on Spotify where it's captioned:

"19 world titles between them (Kai with 8 SUP titles and Kelly with 11 Surf Titles)...

"We have the perfect twosome to walk us through their thoughts on yesterday's WSL Surfing Finals Day at Trestles...

"Two new champions were crowned for 2023. Kelly couldn't be at the comp in person, even though it was down the street from his house, as he is recovering from a Labrum surgery in his hip. We get that info and more on today's episode!"

We recommend listening to the entire 40-minute-long podcast since you love surfing and know they're both total badasses.

But for those who need a little coaxing, here are a few highlights for ya:

  • Juicy details about Kelly's recent hip surgery, which we reported on recently.

  • The WSL finals (as the title implies).

  • Lenny's middle name is Waterman. Really?

  • Slater hates surfing Sunset on the North Shore.

And a helluva lot more.

So get your ears ready and press play above.

Listeners loved the convo, check out a few comments:

"What freaking awesome conversation.. two legends.. thanks for sharing this, enjoyed every moment."

"Titans on the Olympus, North Sentinel Board Riders salute you legends, thank you both for all the support to Maui, surfing is one big family, much love and respect 🇨🇷 from Florida."

"It's always so nice to get Kelly's perspective. Love that he's talking to the camera more these days."
