SYNOPSIS

No one knows nine-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater better than Kelly himself. In this revealing and heartfelt tribute, written with surfing veteran Phil Jarratt, the world's best surfer riffs on a life filled with big wins, big money, and big loves.

Interviews with friends and fellow surfers unearth amazing anecdotes, and hundreds of photographs — some never before published — capture the greatest victories and the quietest moments in equal measure. 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.

Kelly Slater is the most successful professional surfer in history. He lives in Florida, Hawaii, and Australia's Gold Coast.
Phil Jarratt has been a journalist, author, and editor for more than 30 years. He lives in Noosa Heads, Australia.
Jack Johnson is a singer/songwriter who surfed Oahu's north shore with Kelly Slater as a teenager. He lives in Hawaii.
