- Surfer Kelly Slater is one of America’s greatest athletes, still going strong as a championship competitor at age forty-two. He has won the world surfing championship a record eleven times—including five times in a row (1994–98) and as both the youngest (twenty) and oldest (thirty-nine) participant. He has also won more individual surfing competitions—fifty-four—than any man in history. Slater is known for his dynamic, hard-charging style on the waves and for his affable, accessible personality when on shore. He is involved in environmental causes and has had a small career appearing in television shows (such as Baywatch) and movies. In September 2014 he launched his own brand of surfing equipment and apparel.
