Kelly Slater’s Bean Bag Board Transfer

It’s a bean bag chair, and you’re supposed to sit on it.

Kelly Slater, a full grown man and 11 time world champion, paddled out with a bean bag chair. If we could all take ourselves so seriously!

Kelly Slater did kind of a weird thing a while ago (not THAT weird, when you think about it) when he partnered with Pottery Barn Teen to make a line of sustainable furniture. And like any good line of furniture, it included a bean bag chair (no! It’s a “Latitude Lounger”!). And like any good Kelly Slater, he decided that he would surf on it. So he took it out on a paddleboard, deftly hucked it into the wave behind him, let it catch up, and then sat down on it. Because it’s a bean bag chair, and you’re supposed to sit on it. Kelly Slater can basically surf on anything. Remember that time he surfed on a table? Yup, that happened.

There seems to be a weird little fad going around where people surf (if you count stand up paddling as surfing) on weird things and do weirder things.

There’s the really relaxed drunk guy:

There’s the lacrosse team:

Aaaand of course there’s the iceberg golfer:
