Kelly Slater
At age 39, Kelly Slater has developed into the media darling of the surfing world. With cameos in films, art and even Bay Watch, Slater made surfing cool in the media before it was something everybody had on a t-shirt. Slater is the reigning 10-time ASP World Champion, and opened his Quiksilver Pro New York campaign in lethal form with a solid Round 1 victory.
