Kelly Slater se sincera

Kelly Slater charla en las oficinas de Vice Sports sobre la rivalidad entre la costa este y la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos, su participación muy criticada en los Vigilantes de la Playa y cómo afectó a su credibilidad como deportista, aunque gran parte de la entrevista la dedica a su rivalidad y amistad con Andy Irons.
