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.

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

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

Dude! That was hilarious!

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….

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

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

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!

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

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

Really? I thought the host was an absolute retard. Seriously, get that dude to rehearse and lay off the pipe before he gets in front of the camera next time…
Slater doing his best as always…

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

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.
September 16th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
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.

Pismo is head high and glassy…you’re out there…
Daaaaaaarrrrrryyyyyyllllllll bring me my towel!

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.

yeah kelly slater is a beast, personalyi’m a taj fann
September 24th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
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?
More Ask the Dude!!!
