“When you’re humble, you’re teachable.” — Kelly
Slater
Kelly Slater (@kellyslater) is widely
considered the greatest surfer of all time. He holds nearly every
major record in the sport, including 11 world titles and 55
career victories. He also has the amazing distinction of being
both the youngest and oldest world champion in men’s history. His
most dominant days were the mid-’90s, when he won five straight
titles between 1993 and 1998.
After topping Mark Richards’ previous record of four straight
titles, Kelly tried his hand at retirement in 1999 but failed. He
rejoined the tour full-time in 2002, and over the following five
years faced his toughest rival in Hawaii’s Andy Irons, who got
the better of him for three straight years. Their heated battles
became the most compelling in the sport’s history, propelling it
to new heights. Kelly finally reclaimed the title in 2005 and
repeated in 2006. Kelly swapped titles with Mick Fanning in the
years that followed.
Kelly will also be remembered for the wave pool technology that
he and his team of engineers at Kelly Slater Wave
Co. brought to life in 2015, which has the potential to
reshape the surfing landscape for generations.
