The greatest surfer in history, Kelly Slater, considered the idea of ​​holding the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic surfing event in the pool he invented as something that “could be done,” he told the LA Times last week.

The journalist who wrote the article, David Wharton, asked him if he had considered the idea and the best man in history told him: “I hadn’t thought about it,” but then added that “it is something that could be done.”

Slater said that by 2028 the pool will have changed a lot, and a shorter wave could be made. “Maybe something shorter, a 20-second wave would be optimal to push the limits as much as possible and have a lot of variety in the maneuvers.”

He also repeated the idea that he has already expressed more than once, that a different type of surfing should be proposed for each round: One with aerials, another with carvings, another with lip attacks, and that the winner is the one who best executes each type of surfing.

The journalist said that the American has “new projects that he is working on.”

The note concludes with Slater stating: “You got me thinking about this issue.”

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics have not yet confirmed that they will have surfing, but this is expected to be the case since the official sport of California is surfing.
