  • Cheyne Mag

    This video is f–king hilarious. Slates is one f–king sarcastic MF. I hope they rerun this on FUEL.

  • kelsied

    I’ve watched this with my daughter about 45 times. She loves Kelly, but the Dude abides. Didn’t know Kelly had such a funny personality. I sent this to my cousin who works at SNL. Long shot but worthy a try.

  • suxie q

    Good to see that Kelly is funny. The dude abides.

  • oakley rep

    I just busted a gut. Pac Sun was never this cool. The dude abides. Kelly has never been funnier.

  • blinker

    Dude! That was hilarious!

  • Dale Riggins

    Ask a Dude is classic….does he surf Trestles a bunch? I think I’ve seen him out there before. I never knew Kelly was that witty and sarcastic. Guy is so funny! Ask a Dude should become a roaming reporter….

  • K Lani

    “Ask A Dude” Classic. Finally something to look forward to. More please.

  • SIMA

    Does Dude make appearances? I think Shop Eat Surf has their next star profile. Looks like Swell finally found their niche.

  • Leonard Smalls

    Ask a dude is a breath of fresh air in an all too oft staunchly retail market. His talents make him a bonifide personality and should be capitalized upon! he is to Surf what “da Ali G show” was to politics. Get him a lens, get him a game plan, pull the cord and listen to him generate a buzz around your organization within the market!

  • Nalu Nalu

    What, no old guys posing for A&F? Took you long enough to do something legit.

  • nixon hearts a dude

    Marketing genious. Leave all that kooky clever layout look to Urban. Surf needs a funny straight-forward hero. Props to the producer master mind.

  • TWSurf

    Funniest piece around. A star is born. If ‘Lil Wayne and Dingo had a baby……

  • Swami’s Swami

    I’ve been reading Swell for the past 25 years and I had no idea you guys surfed. Lookout, someone’s gone core. The dude can surf Swami’s anytime.

  • Triton Troy

    Swell is the only internet surf shop that surfs. Pac Scum, Stoomiez and tweaker tillys are only in it for the money. I’d let my grlfriend makeout with the Dude.

  • DAAAAARRRRYYYYLLL

    I love Kelly Slater. His athletic genius ROCKS! I’m writing a novel, ‘Night Surfing – A Story of Love and Wonder in the Waves of Malibu’ and I’m basing my character Jagger loosely on Kelly. I love his eyes and his lips and I love that he petted his dog during the entire segment.

  • Brittney

    yeah kelly slater is a beast, personalyi’m a taj fann

  • Why does it have to be WIINNNDDDYYY????

    Kelly looks like Dr. Evil, petting that dog!
    Why is Kelly living in a tent?
    Why was the Dude not at the Secretary of Commerce Hearings in Del Mar, asking those brilliant questions to Toll Road supporters?
