Surfing career and records broken
Quiksilver, his longtime sponsor.
WORLD TITLES: Kelly Slater is 11 time world champion which is a record number of world title victories by far. Layne Beachley from Australia which is the most successful woman surfer of all times has 7 titles. Mark Richards, also from Australia that is second behind Slater has 5 world titles. Slater has won his titles in 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011.
AGE: He is the youngest (at age 20) and the oldest (at age 39) to win the world title.
VICTORIES: By winning the Boost Mobile Pro event at Lower Trestles near San Clemente, California in 2007 he became the all-time leader in career event wins. Today he has 60 victories of which 55 were WCT sanctioned events. By winning at Lowers in 2007 he surpassed his childhood hero and 3-time world champion Tom Curren, who is now second with 33 event victories.
HEAT WINS: He also has the most heat wins of all times.
TWO PERFECT TENS: In the 2005 Billabong Tahiti Pro contest at Teahupoo, Kelly Slater also became the first surfer who scored two perfect 10. This is the maximum possible amount of points in a surfing heat (it should be noted here that judging criteria used to be different and more that two waves were taken into the final score in the past).
A list of all Kelly Slaters Surfing Victories
If you count all the wins in this list you the number will be higher than the one stated above. This is because some other important but not WCT sanctioned events are listed here (like Eddie in Hawaii etc…) and some QS events as well. One more thing should also be pointed out – Kelly won his first world title in 1992, then enjoyed five consecutive wins from 1994 to 1998 and then RETIRED from competitive surfing. He came back from retirement in 2002 to claim the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011 world crowns.

Environmental And Charity Projects
Kelly Slater likes to give back to the people and to the nature that allowed him to be what he is. He is/was active with different environmental and social projects:
Reef Check
Reef Check Foundation is an international non-profit organization dedicated to conservation of two ecosystems: tropical coral reefs and California rocky reefs. Coral reefs are the place where Kelly Slater and other surfers often find quality waves. But they are much more than that. They are complex ecosystems that are very sensible to any environmental change and to pollution. They are the litmus paper of what is going on in the worlds oceans. Even though these reefs seem remote, they are highly influenced by the pollution. As a part of this program Kelly Slater was often found on the ship called Indies Trader which traveled the worlds seas in search of waves and monitoring the conditions of the coral reefs.
The Borgen Project
The goal of the Borgen Project is to put pressure on the United States Congress and the White House to do right by the world’s poor. This is how much it would cost to solve some of the bigger problems humanity has: $19 billion: Eliminates starvation and malnutrition globally. $12 billion: Provides education for every kid on earth. $15 billion: Provides access to water and sanitation. $23 billion: Reverses the spread of AIDS and Malaria. For instance $664 billion was the size of the U.S. Military budget in 2011.
Kelly Slater Foundation
The Kelly Slater Foundation is a not-for-profit organization located in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2007 by Nine Time World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater, the foundation’s mission is to raise awareness and financial support for existing social and environmentally conscious charities.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Sea Shephers are one of the more known ocean conservation organizations. Kelly Slater is a member of the Board of Advisors (the Ocean Advocacy Advisory Board). One other famous surfer that is know also for his actions on behalf of the Sea Shepherds is Dave Rastovich.
Kelly Slater is also involved in other humanitarian and charity activities and has donated his money and time to charities like the Florida School For Children of Downs Syndrome and the Life Rolls On Foundation.

Two Biography Books
Kelly Slater: For the Love
Kelly Slater’s second biography book.

The book consists of interviews with friends and fellow surfers, amazing anecdotes and lots of never before published photographs.
This beautifully produced book marks the first time Slater’s story has been told in full color and reflects the latest twists and turns in an incredible and unconventional life. You can buy it here.
Pipe Dreams – A Surfers Journey
Pipe Dreams is Slater’s first biography.
Pipe Dreams – A Surfers Journey is Kelly Slaters first biography book published in 2003. The book takes you to the not so public side of Kelly Slater. It begins in the Cocoa Beach where Kelly survived his childhood, his life with his brother and his grommet surfing years. With Kelly’s success came travel and facing the international surfing circuit. And with his world championship titles came the media spotlight. It all piled up until Kelly realised surfing isn’t everything. Kelly Slater retired from the world cup tour only to come back later and win again.
Caption from the Pipe Dreams – A Surfers Journey: “I didn’t start surfing because I expected to be my career. It was something I just had a good time doing. But once I started, I couldn’t stop. Nothing compared to the thrill of riding waves, having the friendship and the lifestyle. I couldn’t have imagined that the magazines I studied from cover to cover would become a scrapbook for my friends and me or that heroes I never thought I’d meet, let alone surf against, would eventually become my good friends. And I couldn’t fathom that I would learn to thrive on the waves that scared me senseless.” by Kelly Slater
Personal Life
With the rise in the popularity of surfing and the image and position that Kelly Slater has in the surfing world, he has became a celebrity in this world.

Baywatch
In the 1992-3 season of Baywatch Kelly Slater acted in four episodes as a local aspiring surfer named Jimmy Slade.

Even long afterwards, especially the Australian surfers on the world tour liked to refer to Kelly Slater as Jimmy to piss him off. It was on Baywatch where Kelly met Pamela Anderson.

Kelly Slater and the weirdest surfing stunt you’ll ever see: Surfer loses board in huge wave but then magically reappears atop of it during California competition
- 11-time world champion stunned fans during round five elimination heat as he battled Mick Fanning for spot in quarter-finals on Thursday
- Slater pulls off mind-blowing maneuver as he propels himself into air and spins 360 degrees before becoming detached from his board mid-rotation
- He disappears in waves before emerging from whitewash, landing on his board and finishing the wave

Surfer Kelly Slater performed an incredible aerial maneuver that appears to be a lucky recovery during the Hurley Pro in California.
The 11-time world champion stunned fans and commentators during the round five elimination heat as he battled Australian champion Mick Fanning for a spot in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
Slater is seen pulling off the mind-blowing maneuver as he propels himself into the air, spins 360 degrees before becoming detached from his board mid-rotation.

He disappears in the waves before emerging from the whitewash, landing on his board and finishing the wave, proving that it is hardly surprising he has been called the best surfer in the world.
But as impressive as the move was, judges ruled it incomplete because the 43-year-old failed to land on his feet giving him a score of 4.17, and Fanning took the win, according to 9news.
While fans felt Slater deserved a 10, three-time world champion Fanning progressed to the quarter-finals 16.10 to 14.90.

Marin Potter, former world champion, was in shock after seeing the move, the Daily Telegraph reported.
‘I don’t even know what you’d call that first maneuver,’ Potter said.
‘That’s just freakish talent,’ he added.

Биография и карьера
Роберт Келли Слейтер родился 11 февраля 1972 года в городке Коко бич, штат Флорида, Америка. От родителей он унаследовал сирийские и ирландские корни. Так как его отец владел магазином рыболовных товаров, Келли с детства проводил много времени на пляже. Несмотря на то, что Коко бич, мягко говоря, не самое идеальное место для серфинга, Слейтер впервые встал на доску в 5 лет и практически сразу продемонстрировал свой потенциал. К 1990 году Келли уже уверенно покорял волны, стал украшать обложки журналов, и впервые был спонсирован всемирно известной компанией Quicksilver.
В 1992 году он принял участие и сразу взял первое место на соревнованиях ASP (в наст. время — WSL), которые принесли ему сразу 2 победы — на Rip Curl Pro Landes (Hossegor, France) и Marui Pipe Masters (Pipeline, Hawaii). Именно так мистер Слейтер вошел в историю серфинга как самый молодой чемпион мира. После небольшого затишья в 1993, 1994 год принес 6 побед на соревнованиях, которые опять сделали Келли №1. Это придало ему уверенности лидировать на соревнованиях еще целых 4 года подряд, не оставляя ни единого шанса своим противникам занять его место на пьедестале. Его окрестили “Триумфальным серфером”.
После чреды побед, в его карьере наступило затишье: с 1999 года его карьера была поставлена на паузу, и последующие несколько лет кубок славы покинул Слейтера. В 2002 году он возвращается в строй, а в 2003 году публикует свою первую книгу-автобиографию ‘Pipe Dreams: A Surfer’s Journey’ (можно перевести как “Волна мечты: путь серфера”). По-настоящему он вернулся в серфинг в 2005 году, вновь показав всем свои способности и взяв первое место на ASP. Как обычно, решив не уступать никому свой титул, он поддерживал свой статус чемпиона в 2006 и 2008 годах. А между этими победами, совместно с другим серфером — Филом Джэратом, была издана вторая вторая книга — ‘Kelly Slater: For the Love’ (звучит немного смазливо, но примерно “Келли Слейтер: во имя любви”). Предпоследнее чемпионство он получил в 2010 году, а в 2011 году вошел в историю как самый зрелый обладатель кубка ASP. Хоть это и была его последняя победа на данный момент, но вся его карьера говорит сама за себя — Келли Слейтер всегда был, есть и будет серфером номер 1.
Music
The Surfers
As many surfers do in their spare time, Kelly Slater picks up his guitar and plays some music. During the 90’s he formed a band called The Surfers which released an album of surf music called Songs From the Pipe. You can get the album here. Songs from the Pipe are mellow, kind of Beach Boys influenced songs. The title plays with the name of the most famous surfing spot – Pipeline on the island of Oahu, Hawaii which is also called simply Pipe. Songs actually recorded by guys who hang ten for a living are light, airy, and ultimately uplifting.
