...while CorinTucker sings for women-choice abortion rights! Friends and family include Taylor Hawkins alongside the Red Hot Chili Pepper Silver Suited Fox banging on the drums with Matt Fucking Cameron! Also pictured: Andrew and Brandi sporting matching PJs 😀.
Over the years, outside of surfing, he’s picked up hobbies, too.
Hobbies like playing guitar. Like strumming an acoustic at his North
Shore of Oahu home, sitting in his front yard watch, amd watching the
waves.
But sometimes, it’s more than just strumming chords on
your own to pass the time, and sometimes, being a big name in your own
respective discipline curries big names in others.
It
features Slater playing music with Eddie Vedder, the frontman for Pearl
Jam, at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Eddie Aikau Big-Wave
Invitational.
Reposting the clip to his own Instagram Story, Slater wrote:
“Little
story here... @pearlam played for a Land Trust benefit in
@waimeavalleyoahu in 2006 for about 400 people a night before playing
with @u2. @eddievedder invited me on stage and surprised me with this
guitar with the SL8R logo made into the guitar as a present for my 8th
world title. Halfway through the song I looked down and saw the logo and
was stoked. After the song I realized the & was actually for me.
nalufilms I should post more of these stories.”
So, keep in mind,
next time you show up to Pearl Jam gig (are they still touring?), who
knows…Slater might show up and play the lead to a song.
