Often described as the greatest surfer of all time, Kelly Slater is the most successful champion in the history of the sport. A professional surfer with a record like no other, he is revered as a pioneering figure within the world of surfing and an inspiration to generations of later surfers.

Slater has been crowned World Surf League champion a record eleven times, including five consecutive titles during the ’90s. Ushering in a new era of high-performance surfing, Slater changed the face of the sport when he arrived on the scene in 1990. Surfing at a level that towered above his peers, he has dominated the competitive circuit for almost three decades, helping to popularise the sport and inspiring future generations to pick up their surfboards.

A savvy businessman, Slater has been sponsored by several globally recognised brands, moving on to develop business ventures of his own. In partnership with fashion brand Kering, Slater founded the sustainable apparel company Outerknown, an eco-friendly venture that builds upon his passion for environmental causes. With world-class talent and a competitive legacy that will never be matched, Kelly Slater is not only an icon within the world of surfing, but across sport as a whole.
