The Best of Kelly Slater – A Career for the Ages

Kelly Slater ain’t done yet. The 11-time work champ and 40-something should be retired, teaching surf lessons, sipping coladas and hanging on the Indies Trader, but the venerable competitor is still scrapping it out on the WSL. Perhaps trying to round it out at a dozen. Yet as the beginning of the near beginning of the end starts to emerge on the distant horizon, it’s good to reflect on the living legend that is Slate.

“Incomparable and iconic. The surfer’s surfer. 11-time World Champion, Kelly Slater’s scope of influence has spanned three decades and, like a fine wine, he’s only gotten better with age. This retrospective juxtaposition to his modern approach reveals how innovative, fluid and unforced his style has always been: perfect. #thekellykut”
