He's still not finished. Slater got his feet wet on the bunny slopes of Cocoa Beach, a sleepy Central Florida town made famous by a sexy, prime- time genie in the '6. Cocoa Beach, in Slater's estimation, is as good a place as any to inherit a solid foundation as a surfer. It breaks farther out," he says, "so it's easier to learn. If I had the choice of learning in Florida or Hawaii, I'd choose Florida. You don't try to run before you can walk." And given his resume, no one would argue. As a preteen, Slater showed flashes of the right stuff. Tossing his freakishly limber frame around like a gymnast and equipped with an insatiable lust for perfection, he quickly entered the spotlight. As a perennial amateur champion - - six Eastern Surfing Association and four national titles - - Kelly Slater surfaced in the media with his brother Sean in Sundek boardshort ads during the mid- '8. By the time he was ready to join the pro ranks in 1. After a well- publicized bidding war that included some major mainstream apparel companies, he kept true to his surfing roots and went with Quiksilver. Kelly Slater in Black and White, a 3. Quiksilver promo video, was the first public offering of his explosiveness and creativity. In his first full year on the tour, at age 2. Kelly Slater solidified the hype by claiming the world title - - the youngest ever to do so. But more than that, he ignited a revolution. Exposed by videographer Taylor Steele's Momentum flicks, Slater ushered in the New School of surfing. Gone were the days of letting the wave dictate the ride. Slater drew lines never before imagined, not even from drawings on your high school notebooks. The best surfers in the world, mesmerized and feeling inadequate, studied his every heat. To the point of boredom, he would almost play dead in the early stages before mounting an inconceivable late- heat comeback. Everyone else looked silly. But Kelly Slater could look silly as well. On land, he tested the opportunities afforded him through his hero status and Hollywood looks. A stint as Jimmy Slade on "Baywatch", the most popular show in the world, satisfied his curiosity for acting outside the occasional cameo. A musical endeavor with friends Rob Machado and Peter King, where the trio adopted the hokey name "The Surfers," yielded a major record release and a U. S. tour. An off and on relationship with Pamela Anderson kept his name rolling in the mainstream press. Meanwhile, Slater continued to rack up world titles. After an unprecedented six - including five consecutive crowns - - he eased into semi- retirement at age 2. Or so he thought. Engaging in extremely limited competition in 1. Slater returned to Hawaii for the season- ending event - - the Pipe Masters. In maxing conditions, he greased the field - - including new world champ Mark Occhilupo - - for his fifth Masters crown, repeating the effort in 2. Teahupoo. But he'd already beaten the old guard once. It would take a new generation of young punks to fully stoke his competitive fires. Enter Andy Irons. While world CJ Hobgood would be the first post- New School world champ, Andy Irons was the first to trumpet a true regime change. After winning his first title in 2. Kelly flirted with coming back, Irons added his second straight world title by beating Slater in a 2. Pipe Masters Showdown, following a year when both surfers were on fire, each winning four comps before Hawaii. For the first time in his life, Kelly had a true rival. A competitor who didn't melt before he ever hit the water."To get that close," he later understated. To lose in the end like that was a tough thing to take."Rattled by the loss, a worthy foe and new feelings, he used the next year as a learning process, then decided to let go of the pressure. And the second he started focusing on having fun, the wins came to him. Kelly took both the 2. And when he won six events in 2. New Schoolers; the Coolie School/Generation Now; and finally, the Jordy Smith/Dane Reynolds future squad. Along the way, Slater stockpiled an insurmountable mountain of records: both the oldest and youngest world champ; most WCT Victories (4. Pipe Masters Wins; the highest two- wave total (2. Surfer Poll wins and a Quiksilver Eddie Aikau big wave victory. He also proved himself to be the biggest surf star ever of the water. People Magazine named him one of their " 5. Most Beautiful People." Hollywood embraced him, linking the bachelor to super models (Gisel Buchen, Bar Refaeli) and movie sirens (Cameron Diaz.) Co- wrote two books (Pipe Dreams and For the Love). Designed his own video game. Kelly Slater Pro Surfer). Worked on a 3. D IMAX film. The Ultimate Wave Tahiti). Created the Kelly Slater Foundation to benefit philanthropic causes. Even came close to launching his own damn pro circuit - - the so- called "Rebel Tour" or "Champions Tour" - - which, in 2. ASP quashed it by making similar changes. But looking forward, Kelly's longest lasting impact - - and most personally fulfilling creative project - - may end up being his love affair with surfboard design. A foam- and- fiberglass philosopher throughout his career, in 2. Al Merrick into shaping is own equipment. He immediately began working on shorter, stouter, more maneuverable blades. Long crucified for popularizing the 9. As he told Surfing Magazine: "I could see you riding any wave of any size on a board as tall as you are." When he won the 2. Pipe Masters on a four- fin 5'1. The Wizard Sleeve" - pundits predicted the coming year to be make- or- break for his ideas, only to finish sixth in 2. Some argued the writing was on the wall: Nine is enough. Time for Kelly to finally retire - - for real. Play some golf and guitar. Settle in with his longtime San Clemente girlfriend, visit his daughter back and Florida, show up at the big parties and keep tinkering in Al Merrick's tool shed. But there's something they're not considering. The thrill of the challenge. Guys like the deadliest combo of staggering style, power and stunt- punts to hit the 'CT yet: guys like Dusty Payne and Owen Wright, who threaten to redefine pro surfing. Surfers who promise to come every new season. It's just that type of rebellion that's drawn King Kelly back into the ring in years past. And as Slates himself has already stated: "Ten does have a nice ring to it." - - Jason Borte. Kelly Slater Official Site. World champion surfer Kelly Slater - www. The Kelly Genealogy Guestbook.
