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.

Kelly Slater x 9

Just knowing how driven surfer Kelly Slater is in every kind of situation that the Ocean throws at him is really the core of the story itself. 9 times World Champion Surfer is but just one facet of what's deep down in this super human's brain cavity... Gifted with a force to always succeed he is often called a freak...... and it is not at all a bad thing.....He is one reason that surfing itself has gained so much main stream exposure in recent years....A true professional in every way.
