In the 90s and 00s, Kelly Slater was Quiksilver and Quiksilver was Kelly Slater

In the 90s and 00s, Kelly Slater was Quiksilver and Quiksilver was Kelly Slater. The presence of the two was almost confused and it seemed to be a relationship for life. The former world champion had been with the brand since he was 19 and even agreed to receive Quiksilver shares in lieu of some of his world title bonuses. But sometimes even the best “marriages” come to an end. Somewhere in the following decade the relationship began to shake, one of the important factors being the fact that Dane Reynolds was, at the time, better paid than Kelly. But there were other reasons and the “bomb” fell on a ridiculous date, April 1 (2014), the famous April Fools’ Day.
